Japan’s Naomi Osaka recovered to take a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory over American Coco Gauff and advance into the third round of the WTA Cincinnati Masters on Wednesday.
The four-time Grand Slam winner is playing her first event since the Tokyo Olympics, where she went out in the third round.
Gauff won the pair’s most recent prior match in the third round of the 2020 Australian Open after losing to Osaka a year earlier at the US Open.
