Second set: Osaka 6-1, 6-2 Giorgi
Osaka misfires on a forehand to open her service game, but follows a backhand winner with a 116mph ace to move within two points of the finish line. Another unforced error by Giorgi gives Osaka a pair of match points. The Italian erases both of them then wins another to stake a break point, but Osaka saves it with a 113mph service winner punctuated with a big “Come on!”. From there Osaka rolls to the finish behind two booming serves that Giorgi can’t return in the court. A superb performance over a brisk 70 minutes from by a player who may just be the tournament favorite after today.
