Double Australian Open champion Naomi Osaka is already through to the second round after defeating Caroline Garcia in three sets (6-3 3-6 6-3). She broke her opponent's serve on four occasions, while she only dropped hers twice. Interestingly, this was the same first-round matchup as in the 2024 edition, where that day the victory was more comfortable for the Frenchwoman (6-4 7-6). Osaka begins her journey in a Grand Slam where she hadn't won a match since 2022, but she finally arrives with a good level and an improved version of herself, although doubts persist about her physical condition following her injury in Auckland last week.
