Former world number one and new mother Naomi Osaka said on Monday she was proud to have won her first match back after a long break, admitting she had been "super nervous". The 26-year-old was on court at the Brisbane International for an hour and 47 minutes before finally seeing off gallant German Tamara Korpatsch 6-3, 7-6 (11/9) on Pat Rafter Arena.
