Naomi Osaka wins at French Open

Naomi Osaka labored past unseeded Italian Lucia Bronzetti 6-1, 4-6, 7-5 in the first round of the French Open on Sunday to claim her first win at Roland Garros in three years.

Returning from a 15-month maternity break this year, Osaka had fallen in the first round at the Australian Open in January but looked set to breeze into the second round in Paris as the former world No. 1 bombarded Bronzetti from the baseline.

The four-time Grand Slam champion had not won at the French Open since 2021, when she ultimately withdrew from the event after clashing with tournament officials for skipping her mandatory media obligations.

"There were moments I played pretty well, but I was pretty nervous and got really tight," Osaka said during an on-court interview.

Osaka later acknowledged that she was thinking about her long stretch between victories at a Grand Slam before she regained her composure in the third set.

"I was kind of, in my head, thinking I didn't win a match in Australia, so I'd really love to win one here,"
