MIAMI - World number one Naomi Osaka endured a rollercoaster start to the Miami Open on Friday, advancing to the third round with a 6-0 6-7 6-1 win over Belgian Yanina Wickmayer.
Yet that was not the case as she needed more than two hours to dispose of her Belgian opponent, having dispatched the 23-times grand slam singles champion 6-3 6-2 a year earlier. Letting her foot off the gas, the Australian and U.S. Open champion was left muttering to herself and flipping her racket as shots that had been finding their target minutes before were sprayed all over the temporary court allowing Wickmayer back into the match.
Osaka will next face Taiwan’s 27th seed Hsieh Su-wei, who was a 6-2 7-5 winner over American Alison Riske.“I haven’t really done well here compared to the other tournaments. It’s definitely been a really big goal of mine.”
