Melbourne (Australia), Feb 16 (EFE) .- The Japanese Naomi Osaka (3) became the first semifinalist of the Australian Open after canceling the intelligent game by the Taiwanese Su-Wei Hsieh, taking a comfortable match 6-2 and 6-2 that slightly exceeded the hour in duration.
“It makes me feel very calm the fact of going through delicate moments throughout the competition,” she commented after her victory.
He warned in his last press conference and fulfilled his wishes by explaining that he would have a great time if he was able not to despair with the unorthodox game of the Taiwanese.
She kept her cool and undid any tactical maneuvering by the experienced Hsieh by landing 22 winners and making just fourteen unforced errors.
She set an impeccable path to the semifinals after firing in previous rounds the Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, the French Caroline Garcia, the Tunisian Ons Jabeur (27), the Spanish Garbiñe Muguruza (14) and the Taiwanese Hsieh.
The Japanese will have the opportunity to repeat the feat achieved in 2019 when she managed to take the title after beating the Czech Petra Kvitova (9) in a difficult three-set final.
Her rival in the semifinals will be known after the conclusion of the battle between the American Serena Williams (10) and the Romanian Simona Halep (2).
