The sport’s two most high-profile star meetings again in New York feel like the first real “popcorn” game of the tournament, while providing Osaka with the opportunity to regain that level, making her one of the most talented players of her generation.
Ultimately, the 27-year-old Japanese player ended up lacking entertainment due to a one-sided victory, but highlighted the progress she has made in recent months.
A more measure of her powerful baseline game received a reward from 2023 champion Goff.
Osaka cleverly asked questions about Americans who knew clearly, and his forehand collapsed in the rally was a match factor that lasted more than an hour.
A few days before her family’s Grand Slam, Gauff took bold action to renovate her team to stop the flow of double failures.
Grip expert Matt Daly paid the price as biomechanics expert Gavin Macmillan helped rival Aryna Sabalenka overcome her service.
This difficult measure raised the review of what has been a high pressure tournament – the increased losses obviously affected Goff.
Throughout the game, her uneasiness was evident from the beginning.
