For Naomi Osaka , the 2022 Grand Slam season ends with another disappointment: The 24-year-old had to say goodbye to the US Open after round one. The unseeded Japanese lost 6:7 (5) and 3:6 to top 20 player Danielle Collins in New York.
Collins scored his first win in the fourth duel with Osaka and was relieved after the match: "I just had to go out there, learn from it and make adjustments. I think I did that by and large. If you lose to someone three times , you really have nothing to lose." The American now meets Cristina Bucșa.
