Naomi Osaka was eliminated from Wimbledon in the second round on Wednesday by American Emma Navarro, who allowed the Japanese superstar just five games in a one-sided contest. Osaka, playing her first Wimbledon since 2019, lost 6-4 6-1 on Center Court in less than an hour. The two players tied at 3-3 in the first set before 17th-seeded Navarro fell in love and won the first set.
Navarro attacked early in the second set, breaking twice to take a 4-0 lead and breaking again to seal the match.
Osaka’s victory over Diane Parry in the first round was her first at Wimbledon since 2018.
Five years later, the 26-year-old four-time Grand Slam champion is ranked 113th, having only returned to the tournament in January after giving birth to daughter Shai last year.
