Twenty-two-year-old Osaka, who has been playing since injuring her New York preparatory tournament with a bandaged thigh on her left leg, definitely broke the resistance of a Ukrainian woman four years younger in the opening phase of the third set. At 1: 2, she deflected the 137th player of the ranking by five breakballs, then beat her opponent 3: 2 and allowed her only one point in the next three games.
While Osaka has completed her second three-hundredth battle this week, another former world number one and US Open champion Angelique Kerber is still touring without losing the set. Today, the 32-year-old German tennis player defeated the American Ann Li in the third round 6: 3, 6: 4, twelve years younger.
In the round of 16, the winner from Flushing Meadows in 2016, Kerber, is waiting for another home player, Jennifer Brady. The deployed American today defeated the Frenchwoman Caroline Garcia 6: 3, 6: 3 without any major problems, on which the tournament number one Karolína Plíšková unexpectedly failed two days ago.
