Naomi Osaka has admitted to 2022 being a difficult year as she returns to tennis for the first time since her first-round loss at the US Open. Osaka will play the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo this week — an event which is being held for the first time since 2019 — with her first-round match against Daria Saville (nee Gavrilova) on Tuesday. Ad The 24-year-old will be hoping for an upturn in fortunes having had a dismal 2022 by her lofty standards, being knocked out of the French Open — like the US Open — in the first round, missing Wimbledon, and making only the third round of the Australian Open back in January.
In a classic contest between the contrasting styles of attack and defence, the 28-year-old Collins came out on top by firing rocket groundstrokes from both her forehand and backhand in front of an appreciative crowd in the day's final match at the Arthur Ashe Stadium. Collins, who finished runner-up at the Australian Open this year, will next face sixth seed Aryna Sabalenka in a battle of hardhitters for a spot in the quarter-finals. "This is one of my favourite slams. But didn't have my best results at this specific one," Collins, who beat two-time former champion Naomi Osaka in her opening round, said. "To be able to kind of have my best results that I've had here has been great. Obviously want to try to take it to the next level and do the best I can. With the way I'm playing, I've just got to take it one match at a time."
Naomi Osaka revealed she “felt really restrained” during her shock first-round loss to Danielle Collins at the US Open.
