J'ai rarement vu sasnovitch à se niveau! Bravo
Ай да Александра❤ ,вот так стрельнула и это в 31 год и во второй сотне рейтинга находясь ,удивительно ,но факт ,Наоми не с той ноги будто встала,вот уж похоже никто не ожидал ,икм приятнее победа Саши ,впрочем дальше Костюк ,с той вряд ли так прокатит ,но ведь и с Наоми также было никто не думал не гадал,как знать ,женский теннис непредсказуем
Lost my bet … Incredible Osaka no words
Красава!)
Osaka – the crumbliest flakiest player on tour
Torn between 2 lovers feeling like a fool. Loving both of you is breaking all the rules.
Yeah, Naomi can't take the pressure anymore, feel like whenever the situation is tens she lose her game and she cant think straight. US open finale against Serena when the entire stadium was against her and she still won that mindset is needed again. There is nothing wrong with her game.
сашик 👍👍👍✌
Osaka lost this one but is on the comeback! She will get there. God Bless her always❤
Sasno ❤❤❤
Aliaksandra's racket head speed is looking really good, especially with her backhand. Great win for her 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾.
Very good tennis from Sasnovich !
thought its a cake walk for Osaka?
Most players wouldn't stand a chance against today's Sasnovich. Naomi played pretty well. Sasnovich just happened to enter an unreal level.
que pecho fria es naomi, ojala y no vuelva a jugar
Osaka was positive in the first set. In yhe second set when she got broken back she just seemed to lose momentum and ideas. She was just hitting the ball back with no variety. Sasnovich played much much better moving the ball around very well. She deserved to win some players just lack variety and unfortunately in this game Osaka was that player.
2:20 Sashnovic feet, so funny like a wind-up toy hahahaha
Well, maybe Naomi is not back after all
Wow, a name from tennis’s past, Aliaksandra Sasnovich making a great comeback start against Osaka who is doing a comeback of her own!😊
For those who don't know Sasnovich,,, she's basically a veteran who's a massive underachiever and once was viewed as a possible future top 5 player. But sadly now shes 0-5 in finals, all 250s i think, But weirdly she was 11-0 in ITF finals… was once a future mega star but never did anything other than being a journeywoman. None of that matters here though! My god, she absolutely switched up her strategy early in the 2nd set and ran over Osaka like she was Sabalenka!
Osaka needs to change her tactics from now on!!!
Наверно с Ариной потренировалась в Минске немного Александра😂❤
Александра просто умница, внезапно (даже для самой себя наверное) у нее включился "режим зверя", начало залетать буквально все и она легко вынесла весьма прилично игравшую до того момента Осаку. Что это было? Чудеса случаются.
Comeback of the year, that's what I'd call it.
Возвращение Осаки, полуфинал на юс опен был случайным)
Naomi went from giving Sasnovich double bagels to this. What a shame! I've said it, Naomi will never be able to come back to her prime. That era was gone.
WTA tour figuring out again how to make Osaka move again after her improved fitness got her further in a couple summer tournaments.
Osucka… Crysaka… Fakeomi Osucka
The Russian player was great in the past. But she had an injury she did here
As usual Osaka is back at being suck again..
She lost because I bet on her… 🙆🏾
❤❤Good tennis playing!!❤❤
To see Sasnovich out hit Osaka from the forehand side was a shocker to me.. I hope this win gives her some confidence. I always thought her talents are more than what her results have been throughout the years.
Naomi has such a great game, especially on hard courts, yet seems to lack the fight and grit required to pull out the win when things aren't going her way.
Превосходный комбэк, Александра!
👁🍿👁
Osaka just wanted to loss it and didn’t want to continue!
Wow, great match. Bravo on the nice comeback and upset Aliaksandra. 🥰👍👏
Nice! 😃 Very welcome upset.
Sasnovich played some truly inspired tennis. She was doing okay in the first, Osaka was just handling her with ease. I'm always pulling for the veterans (she's 31) who plug away and put in the work, but I feared it would be a straightforward match after set #1. Osaka wasn't bothered. Then, when down a break 2-3 in the second she started bullying Naomi. Osaka's heavy, powerful shots were not bothering her at all. In fact, she was giving Osaka a taste of her own pace and tempo. Naomi was on defense most of the time. After she was broken at 5-1 serving for the match, she immediately started Osaka's service game with a drop shot on the baseline. Down 30-15 she played one from BEHIND the baseline, emblematic of how she never stopped pushing, even when Osaka picked up a little momentum. Then, to set up match point, she was on the attack, wrong-footing Osaka for a winner.
A very deserved win.
Nobody gets a win against Sasnovich easily. She is a seasoned veteran.
I hope you get better after losing the Match Osaka! 📢
I said it before, and I'll say it again: This Osaka girl is a Fraud!
Shame
Well played sansno. You deserve ❤❤❤
Wow huge win for Sassy!!
I never heard of or watch A. Sasonovich play a match. But what I just witnessed in this match up was a clear statement. She's very skilled. I can't wait to see her play in other tournaments. Thanks for sharing.
Osaka is washed lol she got her money bag and became a terrible player
