Naomi Osaka scored a second round 6-3, 7-6(9) win over Croatia's Petra Martic and earned her back-to back victories at a WTA Tour event for the first time in 23 months.
Osaka last won two matches at a WTA tournament at the 2022 Miami Open, where she eventually finished runner-up to Iga Swiatek. But after defeating No 15 seed Caroline Garcia in the first round this week the former World No 1 took another step forward by beating World No 67 Martic in 1 hour and 45 minutes.
