Allez Elise! (Thanks for the waste management in the tournament! 😉 )
osaka has to lose that excess weight before she can be back to her best,, simple as that
Osaka better start a career in rapping and NGO advocate
Naomi Osaka hasn't won a title since the 2021 Australian Open. By getting to the 3rd round in Indian Wells is a great effort for Osaka. So much depth in women's tennis now.
All you people so wisely dumping on Osaka…. She had a baby, and has had only 8 matches before this tournament. Yes, she is overweight and out of shape. Give her a few more months. Sheesh. If she can't get into the top 20 by the end of the year, THEN you will have something to talk about.
Well done Mertens, although I am a fan of Osaka, Mertens succeeded in winning thanks to her defensive style, relying primarily on defending against Osaka's strong deep balls in the corners of the field and then transitioning to a sudden attack. Imagine all the double faults in serving, and yet she managed to win. As for the champion Osaka, you were in a good mental state. You are on the way to a comeback, and I hope you will win the Grand Slam this year.
Great ass, Mertens!
Elise really demonstrates a foolproof performance with her self-reliance. She looks unlucky due to the demanding bracket of the draw projection of this WTA tourney. It is never easy to contend more perseverant and steadfast against such a powerful competitor. Her prowess and quality have proven in this gruelling appearance. It indicates that she will literally keep remaining at the zenith of her profession in order to observe her stability.
As to Naomi Osaka, Japanese tennis competitor will get ready to compete in the other WTA tournaments as well as grand slam organizations and events. She will be far more superior and comanding than the predictions and conjectures in the forthcoming periods.
Naomi improved ? .. how standards hav dropped … played trash .. congrats to mertens
osaka knocked out
osaka, I'm so oppressed, i'll take some mo tyme of
Too many errors from Naomi but let's take the positives!
No MTO? Amazing.
Interesting question: who is more likely winning another slam, Osaka or Raducanu?
Enough with showing double faults in the highlights!
No surprises here. Mertens has great "hands", uses techniques and strokes like the lob and the "moonball", f.e., to throw off the opponent's rhythm and explore their physical and technical weaknesses and on a good day, can really play deep and put up a great defensive game against pretty much anyone.
Very smart and technical player. A Kim Clijsters protégé. One of my favorites to watch, no doubt.
I was thinking osaka will surpass henin and venus, the moment she won her 4th slam
Doubles player and Singles. Brilliant. 😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
5:11 What?? Really?? It's the 3rd round! 😂😂
mertens looks like wozniacki in a far distance
I love watching that WOKE Osaka loose!!!
It really is a shame this match ended like this. I was really looking forward to an Osaka vs Gauff 4th round match. Gauff won 1st set 6-0 against Mertens 😮
Elise is such an intelligent player. She took time away from Naomi and made her move side by side. As an opponent you don't want her to dictate the rallies or else it'll be curtains for you before you even realise.
