First quarterfinal in Miami ✨ @naomiosaka extends her match winning streak to 23 with a straight-sets win over Mertens, 6-3, 6-3. #MiamiOpen
Naomi Osaka defeated Elise Mertens in straight sets at the Miami Open to move on to the next round.
It was not an easy match for Naomi Osaka but she did well to defeat Elise Mertens at the Miami Open. She came out furious breaking Mertens early in the match taking a 3-0 lead in the process. She would add one more to make it 5-1 before Mertens pulled it back.
In the end, Osaka won the set with 6-3 after a lengthy service game where she saved a break point. She was playing well hitting balls hard from the baseline which continued in the 2nd set. Mertens did much better holding on until 3-2 when she called for a medical timeout.
The medical did not have the desired effect and Osaka proceeded to break Mertens twice en route to the 6-3 2nd set victory. The Japanese player was sensational despite some moments of lapsed focus and she moves on in Miami eyeing that trophy.
She will either play Sakkari or Pegula in the quarterfinal with either pairing a fascinating matchup to be excited about.
