Naomi Osaka is already in the third round of WTA 1000 Rome 2025 after facing more difficulties than expected against Golubic. "There are very few players who can maintain focus throughout an entire match, and I am not one of them. The fun part of tennis is that you always have the chance to turn things around. Today there was a moment where everything was going wrong, and I started thinking about the possibility of taking a flight to see my daughter and then coming back a few days later to play at Roland Garros," she said candidly. "I want to keep winning matches because I believe the latter part of the season is going to be very good for me. My goal is to enter the US Open as a seeded player," she asserted.

Right at the time she was supposed to make her debut, the official WTA Roma 2025 account announced that Paula Badosa will not play in this edition of the tournament, where she was scheduled to face Naomi Osaka. Despite pushing until the last moment, it seems that the Spanish player is not recovering well enough from the injury to compete, posing a big question mark for Roland Garros, for which she still has time. Instead of Paula, Viktorija Golubic will play. Petra Kvitova has also withdrawn from the draw.

The Japanese player acknowledged that she had seen the initial part and highlighted what surprised her the most. "I was amazed by his room. I thought, does he really sleep there? I find it very endearing to see how attached he is to his family and how comfortable he feels in the room where he grew up," commented the Japanese on tennis.com.

Naomi Osaka is on a roll. Dropping down a category, facing lesser opponents, and knowing how to navigate through challenges have worked wonders for her tennis and her confidence. The title she claimed at the WTA 125 in St. Malo has revitalized the Japanese player, who confidently rode the wave into her debut at WTA Rome 2025... sweeping aside her first opponent. The Japanese athlete delivered 40 winners to defeat Sara Errani (6-2, 6-3), in a dominant victory setting up an exciting second-round clash... against Paula Badosa. A clash of titans and a tough challenge awaits Paula in her return to the circuit.
