For Naomi Osaka, reaching the quarter-finals of a tournament at one time was not a big deal and if she doesn't reach it, it is being called a turnaround. But now times have changed. The former world number one player has made it to the quarter-finals of the Miami Open tennis tournament. This is only the second time in the last year that she has reached the last 8.
Osaka beat American Alison Riske 6-3, 6-4 to advance to the quarter-finals where she will face Danielle Collins. Osaka has made it to the quarter-finals of a tournament in Melbourne in January before, within the past year. Prior to that, she had managed to make it to the last 8 at the Miami Open last year itself. The Japanese player later said, 'It's really one of the best times of my life. I am really thankful to God for this time.'
Ninth seed Collins of America won 6-2, 6-4 against 8th seed Ons Jabur. With this, she is trying to break into the top 10 again in the next world rankings. Daria Saville has also made it to the quarterfinals. She defeated Lucia Bronzetti 5-7, 6-4, 7-5 in a fighting match. She will now face No. 22 Belinda Bencic, who has defeated Aleksandra Sasnovich 6-2, 6-3.
