Naomi lost 5 games in a row in the final set to lose the match.

Iga Swiatek, world number 1, defeated world number 134 Naomi Osaka, 2-1 sets after an epic match at Court Philippe-Chatrier in Paris, and advanced to the 3rd round of Roland-Garros.

The 1st set was very competitive. Both players converted 1 break from 3 opportunities, and the winner of the set was decided after a tie-break. However, Iga trashed Naomi in the tiebreak 7-1 points to win it.

Despite the tough defeat in the tiebreak, Osaka showed a different face in the 2nd set, and this time, she dominated and closed it 6-1 after converting 3 breaks from 4 chances and also didn’t give a single break chance to Swiatek.

In the 3rd set, again Naomi started phenomenally and had 4-1 advantage and also served for the match as she had match point but Swiatek saved it and broke her serve. The Polish player continued her phenomenal run in the final set and won the last 5 games in a row to win it 7-5 and the match after 3 hours on the court.
