Osaka remains upbeat after first-round exit
The Guardian|January 16, 2023
Naomi Osaka may have been unable to mark her comeback with the instant glory she craved, but on her return to grand slam tennis yesterday the four-time major champion showed she is on the right path. The former world No 1 tussled with one of the best players in the world before narrowly losing 6-4, 7-6 (2) against Caroline Garcia in the first round.

Osaka remains upbeat after first-round exit

After contesting her first tournament since September 2022 at the beginning of the year in Brisbane, the Australian Open is Osaka's second competition since she gave birth to her daughter, Shai, in July.

Across the two sets Osaka and Garcia, the 20th seed, pushed each other to produce high-quality first-strike tennis. Both competitors served spectacularly, unloading off both wings and refusing to relinquish ground from inside the baseline. The difference was simply the match tightness and consistency of Garcia, who navigated two competitive sets without dropping her serve and she soared in the decisive tiebreak.
