Naomi Osaka Saves Match Points to Win, Serena Williams Advances in Three Sets to Reach Australian Open Quarterfinals

(February 13, 2021) Former champion and third seed Naomi Osaka was down a set and a break and saved two match points to get past last year’s finalist Garbine Muguruza 4-6, 6-4, 7-5 in Rod Laver Arena on Sunday.

The Spaniard Muguruza had match points on Osaka’s serve at 5-3* but the woman from Japan held on to her serve. Muguruza served for the match at 5-4 but could not hold on for the win. Osaka won the last four straight games and 10 of the last 12 points to capture the win.
