  1. Ruzic whose birthday it was brought it to Naomi whose back hand and second serve was a mess. This is what Maomi needed going to into the 2nd round.

  2. Naomi should have beaten her with ease and the fact that it took 3 sets to get the job done is concerning. . It’s going to be far tougher going forward. .

  3. Naomi needs to change her form. She sends the ball back as if she's in practice. Girls like Mboko will send her in all directions. 🎉

  4. Naomi won but she is way more defensive now than she was when she was at her best and she won't win a slam like that.

  5. Ruzic actually reminds me a ton of her compatriot Vekic in her gamestyle, excited to see her in her first season on main tour

  6. Super unimpressed with Osaka shot selection. Sooooo many balls right back to opponent. Hopefully she'll loosen up and swing free as the tourney progresses

  7. This was a great first round for her. Talented opponent. Long rallies. Tough moments. Still pulled through. This could've gone bad because it looked like she was going to win easily at first but didn't panic when it turned into a dog fight. This is going to help.

  8. Ruzic woke the sleeping giant. This was playing into the hands of Naomi. This is the type of game Naomi likes.

  9. Naomi looks very fit and able. It's never easy when these slender East European youngsters can hit the ball just as hard as the bigger girls. Ruzic very impressive, but Osaka may benefit from having such a tough 1st round match.

  10. Wow what a performance by Naomi Osaka and the fashion wow but Ruzic keep an eye on her !

  11. Naomi needs to be braver hitting up the line moving forward. Ruzic played very well and probably should have won the match based on the level of ball striking displayed but Naomi out competed her.

  12. Naomi es de esas jugadoras que cuando está en su mejor nivel, juega un tenis a las líneas, profundos y con esa potencia maravillosa.

  13. Congratulations dear sister Osaka but you can't consistently feed your opponent with balls. You are too skilled for that
    She just played your signature baseline that brought us to you in the first place
    You must watch your previous games, make adjustments and I am sure you will do well in this tournament because you got what it takes
