A blockbuster encounter!

Very high intensity match, especially in set 3. Loved their fighting spirits.

So happy for Naomi, really unfortunate for Garbine.

 

[morgendorffer]

Holy shit.

 

[Ban Boy]

Easily the best quality match so far! It is such a shame this wasn't the final.

Naomi shot out of the gate in the first two games... she was pretty much unplayable. Then Garbanzo upped her level to win the set... she was serving out of her mind. The 2nd set was a mirror of the first. The third set was just sublime... both players with outstanding play point after point.

 

[Slayrena]

saved 2 MPs at 3*-5 too

don't flop to hsieh please

 

[moodin0931]

Oh Mug! You had one job! Hsieh to get the job done

 

[Arma]

Muguruza is a choker she can go cry in the locker room now.

 

[goldenlox]

Great match! That was so close to going the other way. What a round of 16!
Now comes Serena/Sabalenka and Swiatek/Halep
It will be tough to equal this match

 

[Mybabyserena]

Osaka remained composed and found her way. Really amazing match. She shows why she has one more major than Mug.

 

[rucolo]

Choke

A horrible choke from Garbine
5-3 and wasted 2 MPs, only to lose 5-7

Osaka is the luckiest player ever

 

[njnetswill]

This should have been the final. I can only imagine the shitfest we will get instead.

YASSS Naomi. Very streaky in this match. But, channelled some champion mentality and played well at the right times

Mugu... I hope she keeps this form up for the rest of the season. She'll be back to the Top 10 winning titles again

 

[EkVraNaamEnVan]

When I voted that Osaka will win in 3 sets, I didn't mean this. I need a pacemaker. Now for Su-Wei!

 

[Clma]

Muguruza is so mentally weak im tired of her she was the better player

 

[Daydreamer]

Nerves of steel from Naomi who came back after saving 2 MPs. Su-Wei style of tennis next! Can't wait!

 

[brecht123]

YESSSSS!!!!!! Her arrogant ass got beat!!!!!!!

 

[OscarJ]

Holy crap what a match. Unreal rallies in the third set, both players incredibly clutch.

I am a nervous wreck. I wouldn't have minded Garbine going through, she deserved it too.

 

[longtin23]

Watched from 3-5 final set. Both players played well, but Osaka is very dominant and doing better in every department against Muguruza, especially redirecting balls. Why she has lost the first set and a break down in the final set?

 

[fongoeswest]

gabiñe a much better player. but much crazier. wta resume.

 

[MLF4]

Will be tough to take this loss for Muguruza but Osaka played well on the two match points.

 

[Toudi]

Poor Garbi, she had it on her racket I think she was the better player overall, but mentally Osaka is a giant
