Naomi is always going to be playing well, she is an absolute champion."So I really had to step up my game and try to be aggressive. That's what I started doing in the second set and so grateful I was able to do this well today and get the win. It means a lot."It's the fourth time Osaka has been unable to defend a major title, and the 11th time in a Grand Slam she has been knocked out in the third round, including last year's U.S. Open.The post <a href="http://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2022/1/defending-champion-naomi-osaka-knocked-out-in-3rd-round-in-australian-open-2.html" target="_blank">Defending Champion Naomi Osaka knocked out In 3rd round in Australian Open</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.lindaikejisblog.com" target="_blank">Linda Ikeji Blog</a>.<a href="http://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2022/1/defending-champion-naomi-osaka-knocked-out-in-3rd-round-in-australian-open-2.html" target="_blank">Continue reading...</a></blockquote>
