Osaka: “Right now I’m very happy because this is the tournament where you play all the top players. That’s something that I feel like I’ve struggled with in the past a little bit. Given that I do feel I’m a big-match player, there are some times when I play higher-ranked people and I don’t do that great. So I feel like this tournament is a big challenge for me.
