Tight match, and Osaka got tight in the close-out, but good to get a win under her belt.

Osaka needs to address her UFE count 52? though there were some good signs in her match she won the 3rd set 63

I'm going to give her a pass as it was her first match back. She won, so that's the first hurdle.

Tauson wins in a tight match between two players playing well but with Tauson a notch better. And she played a Tauson tweener with success. Still undefeated in Australia - won a Junior tournament in Traralgon, before she won the junior title in Australian open in 2019. Last year she didn't take part.

Jozy as we say in NFL definitely "out kicked his coverage". Congrats to the couple.

If she's in Aus, I take it she got the vax even though she was anti as late as Oct of last year.

Yes great win by Ash..Coco came out like she was swimming in the 2021 Summer games ..Ash met her at the 1500 meters turn and then took the young American out to the deep part of the Tasman Sea and poor Coco drowned. Good learning experience.
