Naomi Osaka was well beaten today by a superb Emma Raducanu who saw off the former World No.1 6-4, 6-2 at the DC Open in Washington. But did comments pre match come back to bite her.

Raducanu is also through to the semi-finals of the women’s doubles. The Briton and Elena Rybakina beat Giuliana Olmos and Aldila Sutjiadi 7-6, 6-4 to set up a last-four clash with second seeds Shuai Zhang and Taylor Townsend.

Emma Raducanu has spoken about her mindset before and during her match against Naomi Osaka at the Miami Open. It was their first meeting, with both players having Grand Slam titles to their names, and it was Raducanu who came out on top.
