Former world queen Naomi Osaka

Naomi Osaka, who has four Grand Slam titles, has not performed as expected since her comeback from childbirth last year and is currently ranked 55th in the world, and decided to compete in the clay tournament in the northwestern French city after a WTA 1,000-point exit in Madrid last week. Facing 143-ranked Jakomot in the quarterfinals, the famous Japanese No. 2 seed was a step ahead, taking the lead in the sixth game of the tournament and resolving two more break points in the ninth game. In the second set, Naomi Osaka started 2:1 after breaking each other's small turbulence, and tried her best to keep the lead and close the door in straight sets.

The 27-year-old is looking to warm up on clay before the French Open at the end of May, where she will face another host country, the 107th ranked WTA No. 107, for a spot in the title.
