Naomi Osaka powered her way to a second Australian Open title with a far reaching straight sets victory over grand slam final debutant Jennifer Brady.
The match had all the makings of an epic last during a tight initially set, however Osaka’s class and experience eventually demonstrated a lot as she dashed to a 6-4 6-3 victory in less than 90 minutes.
It was the first grand slam final with a critical group since a year ago’s Australian Open and with the two players delivering shots best in class – specifically during the previously set – those fortunate enough to pack a ticket were treated to an spectacle.
Triumph gives Osaka her fourth thousand hammer title at the period of just 23 and she looks set to be a dominant power in women’s tennis for quite a while to come.
