Even if Naomi Osaka was the favorite in her quarter-finals against Shelby Rogers according to the seeding list, there was still great uncertainty among the Japanese: Rogers had won all three previous matches against each other.
"It felt like she was always one step ahead," said Osaka after her 6: 3 and 6: 4. “These memories were stuck in my head. I see this as a little rematch.
In the semifinals on Thursday, Osaka will meet an American again: Jennifer Brady, who is coached by the German Michael Geserer. Brady also got through her quarter-finals without any problems, beating Yulia Putintseva 6: 3 and 6: 2.
