Interesting statistics show that every time Osaka reached the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam in her career, she went straight to the championship. This makes fans and experts especially wait to see if history will repeat itself again.

Impressive moment against Coco Gauff

Osaka had previously created a shock in the fourth round when she overcame Coco Gauff – the third seed and reigning French Open champion. After just 64 minutes, she won 6-3, 6-2. While Gauff made 33 unforced errors, Osaka remained calm with only 12. This was one of Osaka’s most dominant and convincing performances in years, confirming that she had truly found her competitive spirit again.

Steady form and competitive spirit

Brilliant fashion style on the pitch

Osaka not only won with her skills, but also with her looks. In a sparkling purple outfit with a playful “Labubus” accessory, she lit up the court. The image evoked the free-spirited spirit of legends Althea Gibson and Arthur Ashe, conveying the message that sport should be about fun and freedom.

The journey of recovery is full of determination

After giving birth in 2023 and taking a break to get her mind right, Osaka started again on the smaller side. She won the WTA 125 tournament in Saint-Malo, reached the final of the Canadian Open and gradually regained her competitive spirit. It was that perseverance that created a solid foundation for her explosion at the 2025 US Open.
