Australian Open 2022 [Women] - Grand Slam

Not so fast Osaka broken while serving for the 1st set
Osaka will again to serve out the 1st set 5-3
I wish Wim Fissette would coach Osaka a better transition game to the net she gets caught out,also Osaka playing doubles would also help her with her net game,

And yet she holds and wins the first set. I'm just happy to see Naomi playing, and happy, if she is. Fine points to come.

Yes though I have always said she needs to have more variety in her overall game,she will just end up having success on HC,not grass or clay

One step at a time. I'm OK with that, though I agree with you.

Osaka has been on the tour long enough to expand her game.

Great hitting from Osaka moved forward taking ball out of the air with her fhand

Osorio had 2 DFS in her service game and handed the break to Osaka.,early in the 2nd set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

What a rally Osorio turning defence into offence,quick footwork as well,great point Osorio
Even though Osaka is rusty,due to lack of match play,her placement of serve has been good.
Osaka loves pace,you have to get her off balance,change the pace of the ball with spin and slice.

Osaka d Osorio 63 63....Osorio competed well in the 2nd set.Overall Osaka,even with lack of match play,too good

I always love an Osaka interview. She keeps it so odd and real.

She is a 'cool customer'

But she has a whole explanation from Nike or whatever that it relates to the Melbourne skyline. There is a reason.

Looks like a Ugly Rainbow gone wrong

Golubic has Halep talking to herself and smashing rackets! She has a beautiful one-handed backhand! On serve in the 3rd set!

Mox, no amount of Nike explanation keeps it from being terrible.
