Fans witnessed quite a big upset in the third round of the Tokyo Olympics 2020. The favorite to win the Olympic Gold, Naomi Osaka, suffered a shocking defeat at the hands of Marketa Vondrousova. The Czech player thrashed the Japanese star in straight sets and enjoyed a comfortable victory over her. The final scoreline of the match was 6-1, 6-4.

In the post-match interview, World No.42 Marketa Vondrousova highlighted that it is perhaps one of the biggest wins of her career. She revealed that Naomi Osaka is the greatest in the game at the moment and thus, she is feeling incredible after beating her.

?I think this is one of the biggest [wins of my career], for sure. I beat Simona [Halep] twice, but I think Naomi, she is the greatest now, the greatest in the game, and she?s also the face of the Olympics,” said Vondrousova in an interview.

The Czech player stated that even though she has defeated Simona Halep twice in her career, the win over Osaka is a special one. She also mentioned that Naomi is the face of the Tokyo Olympics 2020 and therefore, to beat her at her home is a huge thing for her.

Marketa Vondrousova is “too happy” after defeating Naomi Osaka at the Tokyo Olympics 2020

Vondrousova believes that it was difficult for Osaka to compete against her during the match. It is quite evident even from the match stats as Osaka managed to win just five games in the entire match. Whatever be the case, the Czech player is quite happy and is on cloud nine after defeating the four-time Grand Slam champion at her home.

“It was tough for her, I think, to play like this. But I?m too happy now,? added the World No.42 player.

Marketa Vondrousova will now advance to the quarter-finals of the Tokyo Olympics 2020, where she will be up against Spain’s Paula Badosa. After Karolina Pliskova‘s exit from the Games, the Czech fans have huge expectations from her. Will she be able to bag an Olympic Gold for her nation this year?
