Naomi Osaka loses to smashing Collins in straight sets
I came back to this place after a long time. The US Open of tennis, which could not be filmed due to the influence of the new coronavirus. It’s been 3 years since I’ve returned to the center court, Arthur Ashe Stadium.
At Arthur Ashe Stadium is Naomi Osaka, who beat Serena Williams on the court to win her first Grand Slam title in 2018. Although he has been struggling this season with injuries to his Achilles tendon, he has won the championship in 2018 and 2020. The photo was taken in anticipation of the resurrection of the Queen.
On August 30, local time, Naomi Osaka, ranked 44th in the world, played in the first round of the US Open women’s singles against 19th seed Daniel Collins. Osaka has won all three of their previous matches.
On this day, Naomi Osaka, who was greeted with loud cheers at the entrance, was lucky enough to win three games first. She felt like a strong Osaka was back, but she still wasn’t beaten by this year’s Australian Open runner-up Collins. Collins won the first set, which was a back-and-forth battle until the tie-break.

In the second set as well, although Osaka seemed to be taking the lead with her breaking first, she made mistakes and continued to struggle to pull away. The picture is one of the 7th game that was greeted in such a situation. At the moment when she missed two break chances and gave up a 3-4 lead, she caught Naomi Osaka who crouched down unintentionally. Including the atmosphere of the stadium, it is one that symbolizes Naomi Osaka, who is worried about losing this match.
