French Open: Naomi Osaka Secures Hard-fought Victory Over Lucia Bronzetti
Romanian Jaqueline Cristian: Four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka fought off a fierce comeback from Italy's Lucia Bronzetti to secure her first victory at Roland Garros in three years. Japan's Osaka, who recently returned from maternity leave, clinched the win 6-1, 4-6, 7-5, overcoming late resistance from the world number 67.
Osaka's return to the clay courts of Paris was met with anticipation, as the former world number one aimed to improve her record at the French Open, where she has never advanced past the last 32. The match began on a gusty Court Philippe-Chatrier, where Osaka swiftly took control, winning five consecutive games to wrap up the first set in just 27 minutes.
However, Bronzetti was not to be dismissed easily. After initially struggling against Osaka’s powerful serve, the Italian found her rhythm in the second set. With tenacity, Bronzetti converted a critical break point at 5-4, forcing a decider and bringing the match to an unexpected climax.
