The 3rd set was where Osaka completely unleashed her tennis and Bencic was left without a chance. The downfall for Bencic was her serve which got progressively worse as the match went on. The only set where she served okayish was the first one and she was able to win that. Osaka mainly dominated on Bencic's 2nd serve and that proved crucial for the win.
