As you can see, Osaka’s mother called her during her post-match interview. Seeing this, the Japanese star wondered by where her Dad was, and apparently, he was not invited. They went on to converse in Japanese and then, the call was ended by Naomi who nonchalantly said, “Okay, bye Mom, I’ll call you later.”

Her mother’s call was a great surprise for Naomi, especially since it was on a good note. She demolished her opponent 6-1, 6-2, and it was the first time in a while that we saw Osaka at her very best.

Many thought that she would be unstoppable, but unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.

With the hope of returning to her best, Osaka hired coach Wim Fissette. However, we didn’t get to see the effect of his coaching due to the pandemic. Now, it looks like he has had a positive effect on the Japanese powerhouse and she can very well win her 3rd Grand Slam in New York.
