SOAK IT ALL IN ✨ 🇨🇭 @jilteichmann wins the biggest match of her career! She defeats the No.2 seed Osaka in a three set fight to secure her place in the final eight 😍 #CincyTennis
Jil Teichmann scored the biggest win of her career on Thursday night, defeating four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka to advance to the quarterfinals at the Western & Southern Open.
The 24-year old received a wild card entry to the event, but played like a seasoned veteran as she pulled off the 3-6 6-3 6-3 upset. Although Osaka claimed the first set with ease, Teichmann fought back, frustrating the World No.2 with her depth and shot-placement.
Although neither lady was particularly impressive on serve, it was Teichmann who kept her groundstroke errors to a minimum. Furthermore, the Switzerland native showed no fear in going toe-to-toe with Osaka, outhitting the second seed from the baseline and finishing points with surprising ease at the net.
An increasingly frustrated Osaka could not capitalize on her opportunities, spraying errant shots when she had an open court. After Teichmann obtained the crucial break to go up 5-3, she finally converted her second match point to book her spot in the quarterfinals.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
