"I don't want to get too ahead of myself because every day is different. I just want to take it in and use it to my advantage." Andreescu entered the Libema Open ranked No. 228. Osaka, a four-time Grand Slam champion who took a set 6-1 off eventual winner Iga Swiatek at the French Open, is at No. 125 after taking 2023 off to give birth to her daughter and to focus on her mental health.
"That's expected from Naomi," Andreescu said. "Sometimes she'll play unbelievable games and then sometimes not so well. So the key for me was to stay as consistent as possible. My return today, the goal was to just bunt it back and then take control of the second serve." "I never give up," Andreescu said. "I ran a lot today. More than her for sure. I really wanted it. I really wanted it today and I think that made the big difference."
