Vs Osaka
Naomi Osaka has conjured a remarkable, resilient win out of what should’ve been a loss, saving two match points and winning the last four straight games of her match against Garbine Muguruza to secure an Australian Open quarter-final berth.
Osaka, the 2019 Open champion, appeared doomed for an earlier-than-expected exit during the final set, down 3-5 and 15-40 on her serve against Muguruza — the 14th seed and two-time grand slam champion.
