Osaka on her defeat said that the pain in her left leg had limited his game. She felt pain in her leg after the last match, and like she wasn’t able to really hit yesterday because she wanted it to go away. Some other words she said, To be honest, I probably should have been a little smarter about the whole way of going through everything.
This was also the same story for WTA Finals champion Muguruza. She was also battling an injury but said it was not the reason for her defeat. She said that I was not surprised by the game. I didn’t know anything about them.
