WTA Toronto 2024: Mertens Freezes Osaka

At this point in the season, the name Naomi Osaka always resonates strongly, regardless of how her 2024 is going. The Japanese player, coming off a major disappointment at the Paris Olympics, has once again hit a roadblock at the WTA 1000 in Toronto in a second round nobody expected. Elise Mertens took care of knocking out the former World No. 1 (6-3, 6-4) in a match result that quickly solves the equation, reinforcing the idea that Osaka is still far from her best form. A cold shower for her, with just enough time to warm up before heading to Flushing Meadows.
