Naomi Osaka's Comeback At Australian Open Doesn't Go Well

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING MELBOURNE, Australia — Moments after her Grand Slam comeback ended in a first-round loss, Naomi Osaka walked back through the players’ tunnel where her name has a prominent place among recent Australian Open champions. “So I wouldn’t say, like, this comeback is how I thought because I’m delusional enough to think I could have won the tournament.” She smiled, before adding: “I think my delusion is what allows me to win the tournaments.” Osaka won the U.S. Open in 2018 and 2020, and the Australian title in 2019 and ’21. We have to watch out.” Osaka was one of three past Australian Open champions who returned to play at Melbourne Park for the first time as moms, joining 2016 winner Angelique Kerber and 2018 champion Caroline Wozniacki. Fourth-seeded Gauff dropped just one point on her serve in the second set and credited Roddick, saying “he’s probably one of the best servers in history.” Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova didn’t make it past the first round, losing 6-1, 6-2 to Dayana Yastremska and struggling with a hip injury.
