Naomi Osaka produced some of her best tennis to beat American Madison Brengle 6-0, 6-4, and reach the third round of the Australian Open. The 24-year-old Japanese will next meet 60th-ranked American Amanda Anisimova with a mouthwatering clash against Australian Barty potentially waiting in the round of 16.
Osaka, who won the 2019 women’s single too, took just 20 minutes to wrap up the first set against her American opponent. Brengle won just nine points in the first set as an aggressive Osaka served superbly, facing no breakpoints, and returned strong to breeze through the set.
The 54th-ranked Brengle, 31, had a big smile as the Rod Laver Arena crowd cheered her first service game win at the start of the second set as Osaka’s game dipped. But the two-time U.S. Open winner soon regained control and sealed the win after 65 minutes on her first match point with a second break of serve in the set.
