Osaka was forced to double up after persistent showers had washed out her quarter-final against Yulia Putintseva yesterday and the top seed outclassed her Kazakh opponent 6-4 6-4 to advance to the semi-finals in Osaka, Japan. “It’s been kind of rough like the past couple of months so I’m really glad that I made it to the final,” Osaka, who sacked coach Jermaine Jenkins after a disappointing US Open title defence, told reporters.
“The two matches I played, they were so different from each other. Against Yulia, there were more long rallies and against Mertens, it was more serve-reliant.”
