Osaka resiste a Cirstea e regressa à 3.ª ronda do Australian Open
Naomi Osaka, ex-número um do Mundo e campeã do Australian Open em 2019 e 2021, qualificou-se esta quinta-feira uma vez mais para a terceira ronda do Australian Open.
Num duelo bem disputado e de qualidade — como seria de prever — a japonesa de 28 anos levou a melhor sobre Sorana Cirstea, de 35 anos, atual número 41 do Mundo e a jogar o Australian Open pela última vez, por 6-3, 4-6 e 6-2, em duas horas de duelo.
O final do encontro ficou marcado por muito drama, com a romena a mostrar-se desconfortável com a atitude da japonesa, que terá falado entre os primeiros e os segundos serviços da veterana.
