"I was so shaky today but I'm glad that it was an entertaining match" - Naomi Osaka

Having beaten Kasatkina in straight sets 6-0 4-6 6-3, Osaka revealed that she was not at her best but thrilled to beat her opponent quite convincingly. She stated, as quoted by BBC Sport:

"Honestly, I was trying to tell myself to stay calm. I was so shaky today but I'm glad that it was an entertaining match. Whenever I come here it feels like home and you guys are very involved and I feel grateful, thank you."

Set to face her 'little sister' Coco Gauff in the Round of 16 clash, the 27-year-old said she hopes to see at least some support in the crowd for her.

"Can someone come to the match and cheer for me? It's tough playing an American here but I hope you guys have adopted me. I kind of see her as a little sister so it's cool to be playing her here."

Osaka is a two-time US Open winner, clinching the title in 2018 and 2020.
