Naomi launched her racquet halfway across the court. If I were her, my racquet would be in at least 5 pieces
18 year-old Marta Kostyuk has pushed Naomi Osaka to a third set, taking the second set tiebreak 7-4. Kostyuk is moving beautifully and playing with enormous confidence.
The key moment came at 4-5 when Kostyuk threw in an awful drop shot and stood helpless at the net. Osaka chased it down and hit her response straight towards Kostyuk, who showed incredible reflexes and redirected her volley into play. Osaka’s racquet went flying towards the end. Osaka 6-3 6-7(4) Kostyuk.
