- World number one Naomi Osaka survived a tough test against Hsieh Su-Wei and eked out a 7-6 5-7 6-2 victory to reach her first ever quarter-final at the Cincinnati Masters on Thursday.
Osaka, who lost to Hsieh at the Miami Open in March, admitted a day earlier that the Taiwanese challenger was an unpredictable opponent for her.“I thought I did pretty well,” Osaka told reporters afterwards. “I feel like I knew going into the match that she was going to play really well. Like, we have such long matches every time we play, so I wasn’t expecting anything different this time around.
Earlier in the day, top seed Ash Barty overcame 49 unforced errors and a stiff challenge from Anett Kontaveit to reach the quarter-finals with a 4-6 7-5 7-5 win of the Cincinnati Masters on Thursday. Barty set up a meeting with Maria Sakkari, who needed even longer to dispatch Aryna Sabalenka 6-7 6-4 6-4 on a hot and humid day.
