Will US Open Naomi Osaka’s breakthrough tournament be?
New York – Two years ago, Naomi Osaka Arthur ash sitting in a stand at the Stadium and saw Coco goff US Open Final with a win Karolina Muchova,
For Osaka, it was a clear reminder where she was – and where she was in the moment.
He was removed from his final title in the tournament for three years, and Just two months after giving birth to your daughter, Shai. Being a spectator, reminded him that when the light was the most bright, how was it to play in front of 24,000 people. She could not wait to get out of there again.
She did not formally return to practice, but Osaka could see herself out of there, playing against top players, deep in the slam.
A few weeks later, she returned to the practice court, which was more inspired than ever.
On Monday, Osaka again returned to Arthur Ash Stadium. But this time, she was facing Gauf, which was now two -time major champions and number 3 seeds of the tournament, in the fourth round, as the ability was seen by the crowd.
It should have been to watch a match between former US Open Champion and two biggest stars of the game, but there was a little drama in the match. Osaka, 27, The biggest, and perhaps the most impressive, won His return with a win of 6-3 in 64 minutes in 64 minutes to proceed to his first major quarter-finals since 2021.
It meant everything.
Osaka later said in court moments, “I am a little sensitive and I don’t want to cry, but honestly, I enjoyed it a lot here.” “I was telling everyone, literally I was in a stand after two months of giving birth to my daughter, looking at Coco. I really wanted a chance to come out and play. It’s my favorite court in the world, and it means to come back here for me.”
six years agoAlmost the day, Osaka and Goff played for the first time.
The Osaka reign was the champion and world number 1, and Goff was a 15 -year -old prodigy that thrilled the world with his adventurous run in the fourth round in the first Wimbledon. It was also billed as an one-way event on Ash between two emerging stars.
But Osaka dominated 6-3, 6–0 in the third round match, and it could be largely forgetful. But as the goff cried in court, Osaka consoled him and asked him to interview post-match-usually for the winner-with him. Osaka then praised Gauf and her parents in a beautiful moment of sportsmanship. Both players are internal connected, even their careers clearly went on different paths.
Osaka finally lost in the next round in New York, but she went to win the title again next year, in addition to her second Australian Open title in the beginning of 2021 season. She topped the tennis world and was the most prominent and recognizable person in women’s tennis clear successor to Serena Williams’ throne.
What happened next is well documented. He announced Ahead of his second round matchHe left Wimbledon. At the Tokyo Olympics and the US Open, she lost in the third round. After the early exit in New York, she told reporters that she was considering taking a break from the game.
“I think it seems to me recently, like, when I win, I am not happy,” Osaka explained. “I feel like a relief. And then when I lose, I feel very sad. I don’t think it’s normal.”
Osaka returned to the 2022 season, but lost in the third round at the Australian Open, and then did not win another big match. He declared his pregnancy 2023 A few days before the start of the Australian Open and many people wondered if he would ever play again.
Meanwhile, through Osaka’s struggle and maternity leave, Goff continued to climb the ranking. She reached her first major final in 2022 French Open and 2023 won its first slam title at US OpenTwo days later, Osaka saw her from the crowd. In this summer, Goff won its second major title at the French Open.
Inspired by At a high level, she saw the rest of the Goff and the rest of the US Open players, and wanted to win for her daughter, Osaka had high expectations for her return in 2024.
But she did not see immediate results, which she was expecting. While it was the brightness of its old form-especially during a second round of struggle Ega swetec In the French Open of last year – she struggled against the best players, and in the most important moments. She failed to proceed in the second round in one major in 2024.
Disappointed since his year, He fired his coach, Vim FishtAt the end of the season and Patrick was brought to Morrtoglu, which is known for its long -term partnership with Williams. They had some decent results-including the presence of the third round in the Australian Open and Wimbledon, as well as 125-level titles and a runner-up finish in Auckland, as well as a runner-up finish in the Ouckland-at the same time. But both of them participated in July,
Since then, Osaka began working with Tomasz Victorowski, who had coached sweatek in several major titles earlier. ,
Last month, at the Canadian Open-his first tournament simultaneously won the impressive victory one after the other and reached its first 1000-level final since 2022. In his second round match in Montreal Lidmila SamsanovaHe saved two match points and forced one judge. He has since called it a significant turn for his approach and self-confidence.
After defeating Gauf, Osaka said on Monday, “Since then I have started anything possible.” “You just have to make your best (and) a smile on your face.”
Osaka lost in three sets Victoria mboco In the finals, but after giving birth, she reached a slam in New York for the first time. She was clearly feeling confident and provoked at her speed – and was happy about her partnership with Wicktorovsky.
“I am working with a new coach,” said Osaka at the beginning of the US Open. “He is really great. He is just an incredibly helpful. He is cut to follow, and he makes me feel that he is a encyclopedia of tennis, so it is good to be like someone in your corner.”
Osaka has always said that the US Open is her favorite tournament. Before he wins his first big title – against his childhood hero Williams in a controversial and dramatic final – he was a young child, watching the tournament on television and participating as a fan, dreaming a day. When she represents Japan, many years of her childhood were spent in New York and the mob often gives her hometown treatment.
The tour is a separate place, with ranking with new faces, and Osaka is a separate person who is in addition to entrepreneurial interests, with additional responsibility of being a parent, during his title runs in 2018 and 2020. But his goals on tennis court are the same.
And now, it seems, despite all the changes, he is in a position to regain them.
Throughout the tournament, Osaka is resurgence and like a player who once had so easily dominated the Hard Court in Queens. He has fallen to just one set – number 15 seeds Daria kasatkina In the third round – but otherwise in strong control. Against Gauf, who has been inside Challenging process to overhaul his service pace in real timeOsaka resolved her movement, strong service and from the beginning. He won 32 out of 38, he changed all his four brake points and according to the WTA, won 16 out of 24 rallies, which went to five or more shots.
When it was over, she remained mostly, with a wide smile on her face, because her team and family members in his box jumped up and down, enthusiastically exchanged the throat and high fives.
Gauf, who broke in the initial game, had five double defects in the outing, which included a single one to seal the set. The 21 -year -old also had 33 unexpected errors.
“It’s disappointing,” Goff said after the match. “To ensure that it was not the level I wanted to bring, but it’s a step in the right direction that I think, and I think emotionally how much this week was, I think I have just stepped up today, and I was probably a little empty. He forced me to earn every issue today.”
At other points of his career, Osaka was unable to hide his frustration in court and sometimes began to be uprooted under pressure. But on Monday, and in his entire run in New York, Osaka looked largely ineffective, showing tremendous courtesy and positivity. He admitted that his shift was deliberately in Demanor and Body Language, and indicates where he is mentally mentally.
“The main (talk) for me I want to take away from this tournament, just smiling and having fun,” said Osaka. “After going to this match, I just wanted to be grateful. Yes, I mean, he is one of the best players in the world. For me, honestly, I enjoy playing against the best players. I love the most when they love amazing shots or they hit the ack, because you know that they won the tournament.”
On Wednesday, Osaka will take number 11 Seed to Muchova in the quarter -finals. She is traveling a long way because she saw Muchova playing in the semi -finals two years ago, but also where she always believed that she would be again. Osaka, who on Monday called Muchova “one of the most talented tennis players”, knows that it would be a challenge. He has played twice since Osaka’s return, dividing the series. Osaka won its last meeting in three sets at the Australian Open earlier this year.
Osaka is undefeated in the major quarterfinals during her career, but she was not putting much pressure on herself. After the US Open, it is expected to return to the top 20 for the first time since 2022, whether it is excited for this occasion, whether it is on Wednesday or beyond.
“I really feel relaxed,” Osaka told reporters. “I don’t feel stress at all. I think for me, I just wanted to do a better year than last year, and I had already done it in Montreal. For me, whatever happens that the rest of this tournament, the rest of the Asia, I am just trying to become a better tennis player and learn from every match that I play.”

New Delhi: Naomi Osaka and her style have launched flushing meadows at the ongoing US Open. He created a quite a fashion statement with his hairpiece, red jacket and red roses with crystal during the evening session. During the day session, she wore a bright purple dress covering in the crystal.Then “Labubas” has been done to finish the dress. Crystal-enacted plush toys that have become a great range worldwide. The names had tennis inspiration: ‘Arthur Flash’ like Arthur Ash; ‘La Billy Boy’ and ‘Billy Jean Bling’ after Billy Jean King; And ‘Althiya Glitrson’ is inspired by Althiya Gibson. All the trailblazers of the game and all who made their mark in the game.In his brief career, Naomi Osaka has an equally impressive and permanent effect. He has won four Grand Slam titles – Australian opens two each and US. She became the first Japanese to win a major single title. At the Tokyo Olympics, he burnt the Olympic Kaulladron.
Naomi Osaka got out in court with glitter-dasted ponytails and a laubu doll during his early stages at 2025 US Open.
Away from the court, Osaka, now a mother, led the opposition to Black Live Matter and spoke openly about depression and to deal with mental health issues. His struggle, and advocacy, as a result of the French Open, provided tournament assistance to the players.
Now, at the 2025 US Open, Naomi Osaka is back and is quite fluttering in the court. On Monday, he pulled out the favorite and world number 3 Coco Goff 6-3, 6-2, which registered his first Grand Slam Quarter Final Spot in four and a half years (since the 2021 Australian Open).She was craving for such days since her daughter’s birth, after returning to tennis in early 2024. The waiting between frustration, frustration and personnel continued. Last year, as she lost in the second round at the US Open, she said, “Every time I lose my heart dies.” She was reduced to tears in May after the first round loss in the French Open.At Arthur Ash Stadium, the expression was very different. 27 -year -old Osaka was smiling as she brought the match point and the expression of that beaming continued, with a cleaned fist, as Gauf’s forehand hit the net. He waved his racket and roared by the crowd, even though he had beaten only one American.

During the on-court interview, he insisted on his journey. Two years ago, she was sitting in a stand and saw that Goff won her semi -finals and eventually the title.He said, “I was telling everyone that I was looking at (and) Coco two months after giving birth to my daughter. I really wanted a chance to come out and play. It is my favorite court in the world and it means to come back here for me,” he said that the decibels level increased.“I, maybe, was a little empty,” later Gauf admitted that he had been tried for two weeks. The same cannot be said for Osaka.The Japanese player has left only one set for the quarter -finals. And next with Karolina Muchova, she has a good reason for her opportunities being optimistic if history is a sign. In the last four examples where she has reached the quarter -finals of a chief, she has gone to win it.

Playing at the largest stadium in tennis, the mentality of returning to the big stage is hardly unnecessary. Instead, she was walking out on Ash for the first time in five years.Osaka said in the press conference, “The main thing for me I want to stay away from this tournament.” “I know that in my first round I was very nervous to smile, and my (third round) match against (Daria) Kastkina was not really a really smiley. When I went to this match, I just wanted to be grateful. ,Run in Montreal, falling below two match points against Lidmila Samsanova, and directly on World No. 13 Alina Switolina, she assured her. Bringing former coach of IGA Swiatek to Tomas Tomas Vikatorowski has been equally important. As the pair worked on the practice court, the message from the pole was clear: ‘Not every ball is the winner’.“I think in my head physically know that I am able to rally, so I don’t overplay,” said Osaka. “I am just fine with waiting. I am given. I am not a defensive player, so it’s not that I am trying to move the side-to-side, but it is like a silent confidence to understand that I don’t need to hit a winner all the time.”

Against Gauf, Osaka won 16 out of 24 rallies which went to five-flus shots. She also equally fatal on brake points, which converts each of the four opportunities made by him.At the beginning of the year, Osaka said that if things did not improve, it will not be “the type of player who will hang around.” On Monday, reminiscent of those words, she was backded describing the need to play tennis back as a ‘breathing air’.And at the Arthur Ash Stadium, all those for 24,000 and thousands of people at home, Osaka’s appearance and tennis are the fresh air breath that needs tennis.

Hockey: Shivendra Singh-Koch gave India ‘Got a’ Got to Play to play ‘Best Teams’ to make India a big pool for a busy year. Hockey news
Rajgir: The Indian men’s hockey team has a busy schedule ahead of them next year, in which Hockey India League is taking place in January, then the FIH Pro League and the World Cup and Asian Games are taking place in only three weeks intervals.Keeping this in mind, Craig Fulton, head coach of the men’s team, started building an India team from last year, which will help them choose their squads from a large pool of players during two major tournaments to back-to-back.To prepare them well, he took him on a European tour last year and this year too, he went to Europe in July and played eight matches against Ireland, France, England, Belgium and Netherlands, where Shivendra Singh was his head coach.Shivendra believes that this visit had a great impact on the players. This was a great experience for him as this was the first time he was in charge of the side as the head coach.Asked how the experience was, Shivendra said, “The Indian team got to play against the best teams. So the players got an idea of how to play against the top teams in the world. They also understood how changes are made, how fast it is and it is different.”As far as the focus is concerned, it was on educating the players and giving confidence, but the biggest beneficiaries were two goalkeepers – Pawan and Mohit HS.
Voting
Do you think European tour was beneficial for Indian men’s hockey team?
The coach said, “He had the freedom to make his decisions. Some players such as Sanjay, Varun, Vishnu and Karthi – with some experiences with the senior sides – were not senior to guide them and as a result they had to take more responsibility.”“They had to guide the players from behind, maintain the structure of the team and focus on marking, calling and communication with the players. The other big experience was that they had a chance to face quality drag -licers like Jip Jensen and faced them to encourage them.”It was also a major performance for Sanjay, which captained the side. “You settled by playing with the seniors and playing in their directions. However, he had to guide the side and two young goalkeepers and shared his experience between them, ”Shivendra said.Some of these players also got a chance to travel to Australia with the Indian senior team, and played some matches there. However, it was strange to see that they did not make them squads for the Asia Cup.In Fulton’s opinion, however, “It was not a wise step to highlight young players in a qualifying tournament.” But he wants to work with the group throughout the year and gives them time to play in the upcoming tournament.“We have a year to build the same group we took to Australia because they are our small groups and then we will keep them in the system and will play them through the Pro League and then obviously we have some talented under -21s that are coming after the Junior World Cup and then bringing them into a big squad,” Falton said before the tournament.Hopefully, this will help in planning to achieve them a year in advance and will eventually help India to perform well in the World Cup and Asian Games.
