While she had never reached the slightest quarter -final in WTA 1000 during her collaboration with Patrick Mouratoglou (from September 2024 to July 2025), Naomi Osaka qualified last night for the half -final in Montreal after an impressive victory against Elina Svitolina: 6–2, 6–2, in 1:10.

In truth, I feel happier when I win, but it is the reality of an athlete. Of course, I also believe that I win because I am happier now; It is a feeling that affects. It’s hard to think about it, but I feel more in peace with myself and with my expectations for this part of the season. I had not felt this since the Australian Open, because there are tournaments where I know that I will be confident and give the best of myself. »»
