"I hope she is okay" - Osaka after easy win over injury Collins

The 24-year-old lost just three games in the entire match as she reached the semi-finals with an utterly dominant 6-2 6-1 victory at Hard Rock Stadium.

She was left concerned for Collins due to the American's struggle with a neck injury during the match. It's an injury that followed Collins this entire week but it bothered her more than usual last night. Collins was so hindered by the neck issue that she ended up having to serve underarm in her final service game. She also committed 7 double faults.

Speaking after the match Osaka showed empathy:

"I hope she is okay. I have actually never seen her do that before so I think it might be pretty serious. I am glad I was able to get through easily or, not easily, but just quickly. I focused on hitting a lot of good returns.”

While there was no heckling tonight, Osaka did hear some chants from the crowd and asked about that, she said:

"Sometimes I am hyper-focused and sometimes I can hear what people are saying. Clearly! [Tonight] there was someone over there that was yelling 'break!' every time I was about to break or 'hit a first serve!' I thought that was kind of funny, but I really enjoyed the atmosphere tonight!"
