People need to remember she's a 4x grand slam champ. Shes been to the finals of a grand slam 4x and WON all 4x. Something not a lot of top players have been able to do. She took time away because she was growing a whole human. The fact that she's already back to playing at an elite level is so fun and speaks to both her work ethic, athleticism, etc. Go Naomi!!

She’s improving on clay, that’s clear. She puts a lot of balls into deep play. Nice match ! she can make it to the semi-final I think!

Oh, Naomi, I missed you so much! So happy she's playing well on clay. And people were saying she was gonna lose to Kasatkina. Let's goo.

She's moving better and better every match

Osaka's forehand has an interesting whip-like motion -- rather than "swinging", it looks like she winds up, unwinds with her body and follows through. Very fun to watch.

Osaka looking like she’s ready and racing back up to the top 🔝

Am happy for Naomi Osaka. Wish she can go all the way to the finals just silent her haters. Very good player

💕Love Naomi Osaka for her stamina. Former World No1, and now rising in the rankings. Definitely.

It's certainly not a coincidence that Naomi is winning against better and better players. Samsonova, Kostuck and Kasatkina are very solid players who can beat the best. And for sure, Naomi hasn't said the last word in this tournament yet, a semi-final against Iga? Why not.

Naomi defeated three clay court players in row. Not to mention she regretted playing defensive in Madrid and now playing full attack tennis. She said she is motivated by ostapenko 2017

Happy to see Naomi winning against top players in straight sets!

I just love Naomi's calmness ❤❤ She is surely back 💪🏾💪🏾

Looks like her fitness is better and she's defending better now. So she doesn't have to hit so big and make so many mistakes. Glad to see!

Love the strength and intelligence of Osaka’s game. Bravo, Naomi!!

Happy to see Naomi moving and playing well on clay... the smile at the end really shows that she's growing in confidence and starting to feel her game! 🙂

I would have to say Osaka knocking off Kasatkina tells us to expect her to be returning to form and be soon in the top mix. That’s good for the WTA.

Naomi found the best return position. In the past, she preferred to attack flat from near the baseline on clay courts, just like on hard courts, but her half-hearted attacks were not a good strategy as her opponents would counter them. But she found that she was better positioned behind the baseline and hit heavier shots with more spin. As a result, the number of winners has increased while the number of mistakes has been dramatically reduced.

Naomi had training block after Madrid and it is paying off. She also said during round one she is doing to add more spin and rotation on her strokes. And it will pay off

Whether it continues or ends here, this was a great win for Osaka. I'm glad she got over the 3rd round hurdle!

Osaka is improving day by day! Almost back on her champ-era level!

Naomi is beginning to sound the alarm on this season's WTA tour. When she's in this mode in the past, we knew where it's headed to. Good job so far, Osaka.

The highest-ranked player Osaka has faced since 2022, and she won the match easily!

Naomi is more relaxed than ever. Love to see her smile. 🎉🎉❤❤

Naomi has just beaten the 10th-ranked opponent. She is on her way back to the top tier. なおみちゃん、がんばれ！

She is on fire, good signs for wommens tennis

Great for the game of tennis to see Naomi back. Next goal should be to get into the top ten then challenge the Big Three.

Let's go, Naomi!! I love watching you play ✨💜

What a match! Go Osaka. Happy for the win.

Fair play to her for despite Clay far from being her favourites surface she’s grinding it out 👏

I love 🧡 Daria, such a kind and wonderful soul.

大坂なおみのファンです。回数重ねるごとにプレーは際立ってきた。何せショットの精度が良いから相手を翻弄させる、なのでさらに良いショットが打てる。相手のドロップショットに対しても見事に対応した。大坂なおみさん、生まれ変わったかのようだった。

Osaka is shutting down the idea that she is only a hard court specialist.

Naomi, you're on the right way, just keep doing what you're doing. Excited for more, good luck!

Glad to see Naomi finding her form again.

Getting back on track ❤. Well played Osaka 🎉

Naomi made changes and it's paying now. Playing with more spin. Playing full attack tennis. Movement is coming back. Second serve is strong.

If she’s playing this good on clay courts, the whole WTA should be scared for hard court season. She is looking better and better with each match

Well done, Naomi! Good to see her performing at such a high level... She has worked so hard!

Yay,Supermom Naomi!The other women have been put on notice that you are back big time

If Naomi is on, she is the best in the world

She said "playing at the top level is the best way for me to come back" and people thought she was crazy. Its been what... 5 months and just beat a FO dark horse for a deep run easily on her worst surface. Great job Naomi!!! ❤ Are her and Coco finally gonna get to play, and if she gets past that maybe jer vs Iga. Rome could be just as exciting as Madrid!

It’s like the Indian Wells 2018 all over again 😂

I'm looking forward to seeing her success when she gets better at rallying on clay and grass and returns to the hard court!

Osaka is back!!! Semis…why not 😊

So happy to see this! But I have to beg the WTA: please update your highlight system. It would be so good to see the story of the match - break points, etc - rather than just the cool shots and rallies. The ATP highlights are so much better at that

I wasn't expecting much from Naomi this year as it was her first year back, but expected her to be back fighting for titles, at least on hard, next season. She's already surprised me and surpassed my expectations. It's too late for RG and Wimbledon, but I think she can make a real run at the US Open this year and will be very close to her old form and a legit contender for slams next year. Wishing her nothing but the best!

Clayomi

Court condition in Rome is almost similar with Roland Garros so I hope Naomi takes everything she can learn here and be ready for the Slam.

تذكرني هذه المباراة بنهائي انديان ويلز 2018 .. حين كانت تلك الفترة بداية لانطلاق ناعومي تقريبا

Ojo con Osaka que aunque la tierra no sea su superficie favorita no olvidemos que en 2019 llegó a ser la número uno del mundo.

Naomi Osaka is back and back with a vengeance! She's improving with every match (which is more than I can say for Emma Raducanu). Iga Swiatek 🇵🇱 must be getting a little nervous at the moment. 🎾

Love you Dasha❤ if you win or not

Osaka can be good on clay and even grass. I love the new Osaka.

Congratulations queen 💪💪💪💪

Daria is one of the smartest,kind,brilliant and intelligent woman on the circuit..but is a so longtime that she lost very early in every big tournament she play,so deep crisis..i hope she will find a good strategy for come back stronger.

Naomi changed the way to serve on the clay, clever👍

You are very very excellent, Naomi chan!! Never give up🤗.

Naomi is back 💪🤩👍

Here come back is the definite good news for the sport, which needs more champion moms.

Big upset from up-and-coming player Naomi Osaka. Excited to see where this takes her.

OSAKA IS ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS AND FULL STEAM AHEAD TO THE FINALS🎾

Osaka is putting effort and adding more spin ( she her self said in rome ) . Rome plays more close to french surface. Not to mention even if she doesnt win big title this yr. With hardwork, by next yr she will be there

She will soon win the grand slam again

Osaka is coming back

She is amazing and very beautiful! Keep it up! 😍

It’s embarrassing how few people there are in the crowd for a matchup between two high level players

Brillante Naomi sería muy interesante la final con Elena Katarina. Abrazos ❤🎉

Naomi Osaka Is Back 💪💪💪👋👋👋

Osaka from a Clay allergic to now a Clay court specialist

GO NAOMI!

Oh Zheng is next for her to play. Heavy hitter also.

Pretty awesome result for Naomi considering clay is not a surface she has excelled on in the past. Great win!

The second serve speed in this match is "out of this world"

I surmise that no one should underestimate the power, performance and efficiency of Naomi Osaka on the clay surface. This swift enhancement is roundly pinpointed with her efforts and tenacity. I am confident that she will perpetuate her vast superiority and steadiness on this surface. Hence, she will be more assertive and solid with her advancement.

That's 3 matches wins for Osaka on a clay court!!!!!?!? 😲😲♥️🎆🙌🌯😎 Another really good performance 🇯🇵but it is kinda unusual Dari Kastakina and Osaka haven't played each other since 2018 over 6 years 😳😳 LOVE your Vlog Daria 🙂🙂🙂

I'm glad to see Naomi Osaka back, if she continues like this, can make her way back to the high spots.

I’m happy for Naomi and sad for Dasha

If the level stays for hard courts Swiatek better watch out.

Osaka moving faster than earlier

❤welcome back Osaka. Wish you well. Break top 100 before roland garros.

Why I felt as daria didn’t played at all

Go.. Go Osaka..

Osaka was one the best players in the world before she had her daughter. I hope she wins a title . She is getting better. Just give her time. She will be back.

Naomi's tennis looks sharp.

go Naomi go!!

大坂なおみちゃん、クレーコートで戦うのが凄く上手くなってきてるね。 昔はクレーコートは余り得意ではないのかなと思ってたけど、今は余裕がある様に感じます。 もっと活躍して欲しい。

Congrats

The WTA is wide open

Its nice to see osaka adding net play into her clay court game.

Naomi is good player😮

Ozaka de retour,

It won't take 2 years and Osaka could still will a grand slam as she is improving every time. Congratulations

If Dasha wants to stay that far back, she has got to find a more consistent depth.She can't let these big hitters get on the front foot for free.The habit of finishing that forehand over her right shoulder instead of left specially when moving is catching her out time and time again as its consistently dropping short.Her hands are so good I don't get why she loves it back there so much 😂.Just my opinion, I hope dasha breaks that top ten again soon .

2018 IW final replay. Seems so long ago!

Kasatkina is no joke on clay. Well done Clayomi! 🤣

Very happy for Naomi but that serve needs some work...

It’s too bad Naomi didn’t play the Charleston Open🎾

Naomi made beating the world #10 look easy. Great job

Osaka #1 moves on in Rome! No interviews has worked out well! Osaka likes to answer reporters questions now!😊😊😊

Осака просто шторм від Ваннеси Мей!!!
