This win culminates a strong week for Osaka on grass, as she has advanced through every round without dropping a set. Following her quarterfinal triumph on الخميس, she acknowledged the vital role of her coach, Tomas Högstedt, in helping her adjust to the grass surface.
“Obviously I can’t say that I’ve had much experience on grass, but I feel really good right now,” Osaka remarked after her latest win. “Tomas is helping me understand grass a lot المزيد, so I feel pretty comfortable at this point.”
