The lawyer Osaková dropped out sensationally: I think I will take a break for a while! – Športky.sk

NEW YORK – Trophy defender Naomi Osakova from Japan was eliminated in the 3rd round of singles at the final grand slam tournament of the year in the US Open. The third seeded player lost to Canadian teenager Leylah Fernandez in three sets 7: 5, 6: 7 (2) and 4: 6 on Saturday.

The four-time Grand Slam winner Osaková said after the loss with tears in her eyes that she is considering taking a break from tennis again. “Lately, I feel like I’m not happy when I win, it’s more of a relief. And when I lose, I’m very sad. I don’t think it’s normal.” she was quoted by the AP agency. “We honestly don’t know when he’ll play his next match. I think I’ll take a break for a while,” at a post-match press conference. Then she put on her veil, stood up, and left. The 22-year-old tennis player took a break even after she checked out of Roland Garros before the second round. Subsequently, she also missed Wimbledon.

She already had problems in the match, when after losing a point she threw a racket on the ground and was apparently out of balance. The duel was well played. She won the opening set 7: 5, when she turned the first set and the second set in the state 6: 5 to win. However, she lost her service, the eighteen-year-old Canadian woman won in the 7: 2 match, and in the third act she completed a sensational triumph when she performed a clean game in the tenth game. “Just before the match, I knew I could win. I didn’t focus on Naomi, but only on myself and what I had to do.” said Fernandez, who had never made it this far to the Grand Slam.
