Australian Open 2022: Nadal, Osaka advance to 2nd round

India TV News  

Highlights 5th-seededSakkari started the programme with a 6-4, 7-6 win over Tatjana Maria Tokyo Olympics gold medalist Belinda Bencic beat Kristina Mladenovic 6-4, 6-3 China's Wang Qiang upsets 18th seed Coco Gauff 6-4, 6-2 20-time Grand Slam winner Rafael Nadal and WTA No. The first test of Osaka's new approach to tennis might have been when she completely whiffed on an overhead to give her opponent a break point on Day 1 of the no-Novak-Djokovic Australian Open. “Might as well enjoy it while I still can.” In Osaka's mind, the drama involving nine-time champion Djokovic's deportation on the eve of the Australian Open was something for the players in the men's draw to worry about. A security official with a loudspeaker reminded people lining up outside the complex early Monday to have proof of vaccination ready for inspection and added: “Oh, a ticket would be handy, too!” Meanwhile, Wang Qiang has her first win over a top 20 player since beating Serena Williams at Melbourne Park in 2020 after upsetting 18th-seeded Coco Gauff 6-4, 6-2.
