I just love watching Muchova when she is playing like this! leading 4-0 over Osaka!
Make that 5-0 over Osaka 1st set

There goes the 2024 AO finalist in straight sets to Siegemund 76 (6) 63 not a happy handshake from the No 5 seed as you would expect
Will drop big points in the rankings

What more can you expect? She's a sore loser and reports from the locker room say, "not really a nice person"

Lil Bit in trouble. Drops the opener, on serve in the 2nd 3-3

I'm sure I've said this before, but I do not like Naomi's kits. They are fugly.

Osaka gets her revenge, after losing to Muchova at the USO
Difference between that match and todays was Night and Day. Osaka won in 3 sets 16 61 63
1st AO R3 since 2022 for Osaka

Oh give it up Naomi. Stop talking about that bowtie outfit from the USO. It wasn't all that...

That was one of the 'worst outfits' she has ever wore, lol!
Osaka gets to play Bencic next, the battle of the mums

I know. We talked about it then, but you can't tell her nothing. She has zero fashion acumen. She should just let somebody else design these things because her input is some ugly creations.

Even Ostapenko's creations were better than that Bow Number she wore at the USO lol! that is saying something

Osaka faces another mum Bencic in her next round, another tricky opponent
