Osaka Advances at Wimbledon 2026

Naomi Osaka secured a straight-sets victory over Anastasia Gasanova 6-3, 6-2 to advance to the third round at Wimbledon 2026.

Four-time grand slam champion Naomi Osaka showcased her stellar serves and groundstrokes on No 2 Court, progressing to the third round at Wimbledon for the second consecutive year. The Japanese star displayed occasional frustration, including a moment where she exclaimed 'What the hell?' after hitting a shot wide, and briefly complained about Gasanova's grunting to her team.

Osaka remained candid about her performance in her on-court interview, stating she was 'happy to win' and 'glad to do it in straight sets.' With her daughter's birthday approaching, Osaka noted she didn't want to extend the match into her daughter's special day, revealing plans to practice in the morning before possibly taking her to the park. xsportfeed.quest
