It wasn't Osaka playing good. It was Kostyuk playing horribly. So many unforced errors and double faults by Kostyuk. Kostyuk gave so many free points to Osaka.
@@sylvainhyais8166 If Kostyuk would have played like she did in Stuttgart, she would have defeated Osaka easily. Remember clay isn't Osaka's favorite surface.
It’s not like she can’t hit clean most of the time…she’s just being impatient ,lazy or afraid to move on clay wait when she get to the final on any tournament she will get her confidence back and that’s when she’s going to be a real threat .
I am so emotional Seeing her slowly get back to the Naomi we all saw at the US open in 2018 🥺 Still a long long way to go but this is so impressive considering she isn’t the best at clay
I think she'll lose to Kasatkina next round. Kostyuk was pathetic. After her sensational Final run in Stuttgart couple weeks ago, she have been playing badly.
@@cheffonezthea6942 Daria Kasatkina is great clay court player. She is much better clay court player than Kostyuk. Daria Kasatkina have tittles and very deep runs on clay court tournaments. It will be difficult for Osaka to win against Daria Kasatkina, because she (Osaka) is weak on clay and Kasatkina is very good on clay.
@@einarsd4 no problem segala sesuatu bisa terjadi di lapangan walaupun kasatkina jago lapangan tanah liat Tapi di Stuttgart dan Madrid dia tidak juara?????? Yang juara Rybakina 👋🔥
You can see Naomi literally getting fitter each match. The weight is falling off, and her movement is improving. It may be too early for Roland Garros and Wimbledon but she just might be a serious threat at the US Open.
I do think that's her ultimate goal, I like that she's remaining active like she says she was going to be...she's been gone so long she needs all the court time she can get...I think she also has plans for the Olympics
Such dangerous performance from Naomi. She’s hitting so hard that Rome’s clay isn’t even slowing down the ball. I think she can def go far this tourny and RG, and def a force to be reckon with on grass and hard courts!!! Go Naomi
Well hold on, not so fast as I think her next opponent (Kasatkina) is going to be a really good test for her as Daria is quite good on clay. Should be fun!
Osaka being Osaka, ruthless, pinpoint precision, and smooth hitting… Wishing her to be back to her glory days…. What a formidable combination for women’ tennis imagining- Osaka, Sablenka, Swiatek slugging it out for top honours at Masters and grand slam glory… Exciting times for women’s tennis… Go Osaka 👍👍👍😀
@@AshleyKarys Sorry for my slightly late response, but yes all is well, I hope all is well for you too! I wish you a great day, and see you on Cam’s lives tomorrow! ☺️
Osaka's best match so far in 2024. The way she pummeled through in her least fav surface against the in-form Kostyuk really shown the potential that Naomi possesses
this is the backhand that give her 4 GS. She is still vulnerable in regards to her movement on clay and net play but remember she didnt have a good 1st serve percentage in this match. Placement of her 2nd serve is not always perfect (Bencic, Iga, Sabalenka can easily fire back those second serve) but its way better than before. The switch of her forehand with highball deep return is also something new and so far consistent. It gives her time and chance to still play during rallies. Surprisingly, this looks like a Naomi Osaka playing in hard court.
Naomi is doing much better mentally now. She doesn't have the same issues doing press conferences after a loss; she seems calm and relaxed now win or lose.
Marta in good form? Are you kidding me? Marta Kostyuk was on 4 set losing streak barely being able to win any games. Marta Kostyuk is in poor form. Osaka got lucky. With Kasatkina, she will not be that lucky.
It was absolutely a more gallant and dauntless performance from Naomi Osaka. I can always observe this swift development on the clay surface with her mobility and compliance. Her timing is really seamless for each strike. It points out that she will plainly be more consistent and steadier than the previous periods.
Simply brilliant performance from Naomi. This is the player we fans have known since her breakout year in 2018. She is becoming more fit every tournament. Her movement is so much better, I think that by summer hard courts, she will be challenging for titles. So happy for her.
Osaka said she is adding more spin which helps on clay. Practiced training block after Madrid. And regretted playing defense there. And now going full attack. She might pull a ostapenko
Naomi seems to be getting back to her former top form...she just needs to at least win a 250 and get back in top form hopefully. She's had some very good solid matches this year, I hope she can make such displays consistent, specially against Iga and a few others who are not my favorites 🤣 I loive Naomi and I want her to start winning more and more.
I have no idea why ppl comment with so much hate when someone who was once good starts losing. We’ve all seen Osaka play before she is incredible & has the weapons to beat all the top players. Same with Raducanu. She played the whole tournament +3 extra matches to qualify to even get in. Straight sets victory, never dropped a set the whole tournament. We’ve seen what these players can do. Women are more in tune with their emotions than men & most would read all the hateful comments idiots like you write. I really hope they don’t, but most of them do. Tennis requires both mental & physical to be in tune. It’s not easy. I’ve seen a fellow friend play in women’s 4.5 league down 0-5 in the third set. She said I’m not losing and came back to win 7-5. Mental toughness, physical toughness, but most importantly, able to unify all these abilities & also keep the ball in & minimize errors while finding out the best way to win against your opponent.
1) So happy to see Naomi continuing to build better results in her comeback! 2) WTA, either make it easier to watch your matches or start giving us more than these 5 minute joke recaps. Amateur UA-camrs are doing it way better than you!
1)5 minutes highlights for 74 minute match is good. 2) Osaka didn't even do anything. Kostyuk was spraying unforced errors and double faults left and right.
@@einarsd4it’s always 5 minutes, or a little more. Never 6. Even for classics like Swiatek/Sabalenka in Madrid last week. And I watched a very good 10+ minute recap of this match, which really gave more texture, even with a one-sided scoreline like this.
Great playing by Naomi and she’s such a humble kind person. Marta should take some sportsmanship lessons from her . Marta is so cool and unfriendly in her handshakes. Go Naomi!!🎉
Amazing!!!!?!! Almost feel bad for Marta Kostyuk 😢🙂 The ball striking from Naomikun 🇯🇵 was 'almost' unbelievable think this is first time she's won back to back clay court matches since 2019 😳😳🙌🙌🇮🇹🥯🥯✌️😎🎆 Well she's definitely getting comfortable on the surface she has had much success on 😁🎂🌭☕
Mental issues are always a legit part of sport, but aside from that, if Osaka didn't struggle with them, imo, she would be absolutely dominating the WTA for years, including putting Swiatek to the sword, often. Maybe even giving Serena's tally a run for its money. I think at her best, she's clear number 1, ahead of Barty and Iga.
Osaka’s goal before was just to win slams esp on hard courts. Now, being a mother, she wants to win more slams on any surface and back to the top where she belongs. Motherhood makes her a determined player and a lifelong dreamer to inspire her child.
Νaomi match after match plays better looking better she has so so much talent she will be Top 10 again even top 5 soon WTA needs a great Naomi the girl is so humble and down to earth a good person... Bravo Naomi keep up the hard work keep paying and wining step by step match after match you can do this girlie.👍👍👌👌

I wouldn't call it a big win, because all Kostiuk can do at this point is run fast on the court and get even aces (due to his excellent stretch and agility).
It is amazing how much Naomi improved her physical condition over the last month. She's moving way much better than before!
My favorite player is gradually getting back to her best tennis…I know she still got it!!!! very happy for her. I hope she keeps grinding ❤

Osaka looked really good here. Getting back to her former glory.
People say this every match she plays. When will it actually happen?
Even when she was winning grand slams she didn’t look this good on clay.
@@Smartkid2387 apparently this is her first win against a top 20 in her whole entire career
Her weight of shot, killer crosscourt winners, and eagerness to attack- yes! Such a treat to see her compete like this.
Naomi hits the ball like Andre- there’s a natural command of ground strokes that’s beautiful to watch
You can see Naomi literally getting fitter each match. The weight is falling off, and her movement is improving. It may be too early for Roland Garros and Wimbledon but she just might be a serious threat at the US Open.
She's getting better with every match and her forehand is huge. Her next opponent will be #10 Kasatkina.

I see Osaka very strong. She will have good future.
She's already won 4 grandslams, her past isn't exactly bad.
Big power from Naomi. Marta is #20 in the world, and in good form. This was a very strong result for Naomi, who is coming back. Great play.
