wow, Samsonova was giving Osaka the ol' Hsieh Su Wei drop shot treatment. So effective. Good for her. She had a bad mental lapse in set two and really battled herself in set 3 but pulled it out. Good on Osaka tho for fighting throughout. Midway through set two I thought she'd just go away but she kept fighting. She lost but this loss is nothing to be ashamed of imo, especially on clay. Great court craft by Samsonova overall tho.

Win or lose, Naomi’s my fave! Period! 😊

Very good play Samsonova

Samsonova reaaalllyyy picked on Naomi’s movement this match

As usual Samsonova plays great against great players but flop when she plays nobodies 😂

Congrats Samsonova. You played very well and deserved the win.🎉🎉🎉

Osaka, your movement on the court is horrible and you keep giving back the ball to Samsonova instead of away from her as she was doing constantly against you. The few times you really move her around the court you won the point. Her serve sometimes had you moving way the sides to receive and you gave the ball right back to her knowing fully well you couldn’t move back in time to play the ball. The few times you really placed her service returns you won the point but then you went right back without capitalizing on those occasions. With your present slow movements around the court you should focus on placements and create incredible angles which you can, but presently your rallies are not giving you the success you had in the past. So until you’re fully back with superb rallies Osaka needs to reinvent herself and really mix up the game, having the opponents confused, constantly thinking what will she do next. No need to be discouraged or disappointed, I believe in loosing to win so keep moving forward experimenting on different possibilities and see the outcome. You have nothing to loose considering where you’re presently!

Osaka played so amazingly even though she lost. What a fighter!

Укороченные мячи Люмилы часто ставили в тупик оппонента,а подачи выбивали ее из колеи.Надежно сделанная ментальная работа. Казахстан.г.Алматы.77 лет

Hardest thing in tennis is taking time off and then returning at a high level. Naomi is close, but still has a way to go.

GO SAMSONOVA!!!!❤❤❤❤

Great job on clay Naomi

Thanks for the upload! Congrats to Samsonova! However, is Samsonova really good with her drop-shots or is Naomi lost a step or 2?

Amazing highlights Oh yeah good win

Great fight by Osaka

Осаку можно было быстрее обыграть...если чаще делать укороченные мячи японка как неповоротливая корова не успела на них у неё даже желания не было за ними бежать...это ж видно было!

Excellent game.

Pésimo juego de osaka, no arriesga le sigue poniendo las pelotas a las contrincantes

Master dropshot class. Wish I could do those

Osaka needs to muscle up, better luck next time!

lihat dari pertandingan osaka sejak melahirkan dibanding saat serena melahirkan dan maen tennis, serena masih juah lebih baik daripada osaka. serena beberapa tahun masih mampu sampai ke final

Людмила, наконец то!😊Стабильности тебе, все остальное в избытке!🙄

I was rooting for osaka

OMG how many times can you use the dropshot without the other person looking and expecting them? Is Osaka really that slow? I mean, they were good shots but after awhile you watch for them

Osaka is done

Naomi looks tired in 3rd set.

Tem treinar subida e rede Osaka!no mais um bom roland garros

Osaka is still the best out there!😊

OK MAMA Osaka, I see you coming.. dont rush anything please, know you went thru a lot, take your time, dont get hurt trying to do too much too early. You be fine in due time, later, take it easy, and bring that body back to where you want it to be. I know your still struggling with that extra baby fat, I see your head bopping slightly again on the serve, it not there yet, but i see great improvement. Take it easy until all the pcs. fall into place. You should be fine or just about by the time for the US Open. I can sense it.

Oh no 😢😢😢

Close match. Entertaining. But bye bye Osaka.

Osaka is a has been… she will never be on top of tennis again. She will at some point continue her KFC addiction…

Come on that, Nayoimg haha

But because he continues to play he will never go back to the way he was before.

O-Sock it to Me, Samson-ova said Drop Dead, and Osaka did. Proving once again Margaret Court is The True Queen Mother of Tennis. Took off most or 1972 to have a Baby, came back in 73 as a New Mother and Won 3 of The 4 Singles Slams and also 3 of the 4 Doubles Slams in 73 Too! Sorry MC makes these New-new mothers look like Grandmothers.
