A smiling Naomi Osaka breezed past Coco Gauff to reach the quarter-finals of the US Open on Monday, saying a happier mindset is behind her best Grand Slam performance for four years.
The Japanese World No. 24 — a four-time Grand Slam winner — dominated the third-ranked American on her way to a 6-3, 6-2 victory in a surprisingly lopsided battle of former champions.
The victory sends Osaka into her first Grand Slam singles quarter-final since she reached the last eight of the 2021 Australian Open — a tournament she went on to win.
