Osaka US Open: Semifinals Return After 5 Years

Osaka Naomi (Japan, 24th), who lifted the 2020 US Open, returned to the US Open semifinals in five years. Carolina Muhoba (Czech Republic, 13th) was turned straight. Osaka’s Grand Slam semifinals have been four years since the Australian opening in 2021. Osaka has been in the Grand Slam semifinals four times and has won all. The Czech Republic (Muhoba, Bondlow Shoba, Craigkova), who had been in the quarter -finals, were all eliminated.

Osaka defeated Muhoba to 6-4 7-6 (3) in the women’s singles quarter-finals, which ended at the New York National Tennis Center Arthur Ash Stadium on the 3rd (local time).

It was a hot stroke. Osaka in power and Muhoba in diversity were ahead. In the first set of 5-4 situations, Muhoba succeeded in the brake once and preempted the set.

In the second set, Osaka passed over a big crisis. This time, it was Muhoba’s sub-game with 4-5. But here he succeeded in the love game brake and turned over the crisis and completely reversed the mood. Osaka continued the game to the Type Lake, and scored two mini brake first and scored to 6-2. The gap was eventually maintained until the end.

Osaka, which wrestled in the late 2010s and early 20s, had a gap with overlapping pregnancy, gaps, and depression. He returned to the tour in 2023, but it seemed to need time until he came to the normal track.

But this year, the atmosphere is definitely different. There are two runner -ups (ASB Classic, National Bank Open) in the tour and the WTA 125 Series. Last year, the season’s win rate was only 53%, but this year it has already exceeded 70%.

Year: grade / odds / average set / average game order
2024: 21 wins 18 losses / 53.85% / +0.23 / +1.54
2025: 32 wins 12 losses / 72.73% / +0.86 / +3.25

Osaka is currently ranked 14th. If you win the tournament, you can go up to 11th. The top 10 return is also Osaka.

Osaka deals with Amanda Animoba (US, 9th) in the semi -finals. The two faced two times and won the Moba. Both games were held in 2022, and Osaka was on the verge of having a blank period.

Meanwhile, all three people in the Czech Republic were eliminated. In the last two years, Muhoba, Bond Low Shoba, and Crychkova, who were runner -up, and runner -up, failed to reproduce glory at the US Open. Since injuries are relatively frequent, it is most important to manage health in the upcoming Asiaswing.
