That first round match with the injury to Ivelisse.
How good was that? 1,000 level or premier events.
In the US or maybe the UK, 121 miles per hour.
Yeah, just perfect tennis from Naomi Asai for as much of this set as been.
That's long though for a panoramic and the set is over.
28 minutes I think we just sneaked on to didn't we?
Naomi Asai not even looking like she's busting a gut out there.
But really in cruise control. 6-2.
Pretty easy at that.
That's a very good point and manufactured that winner really well.
Such a difficult shot to play because it was close to her body.
Centre court later.
This match when Anvadi held.
Really good control of the net.
Three weeks later at Wimbledon.
The North American hard courts.
It was interesting from Asai to change of tactics there.
After an hour and 13 minutes, Naomi Asai beat finalist here.
While in Montreal actually last season.
Takes a step on the road to the final in Toronto.
With a comfortable victory in the end.
6-2 and 6-4 over Panerai Anvadi.
Who played pretty well today and pushed Asai.
But she was just in a different class.
Naomi, well played.
A brilliant performance by yourself.
An hour and 14 minutes on grandstand.
And listen, a good start to the NBL here in Toronto.
You must be delighted with your performance.
Yeah, definitely.
I'm really glad to be back.
And thank you guys for coming out and cheering.
And I hope that you guys are really entertained.
So thank you.
Yeah, I'm sure everybody is, by the way.
Grandstand absolutely packed.
And listen, good memories from you in Canada.
Obviously a run to the final in Montreal last year.
I'm sure happy to be back playing tennis in Canada once again.
Yeah, definitely.
I don't know.
It's like a really good atmosphere.
It feels like the hard court swing really kicked off.
So I'm glad to, you know, have won my first round match.
And I hope that I can keep going.
Listen, it's a great start.
And you've been playing some great tennis over the last couple of months.
A final in Bad Homburg.
Beating the world number one at Wimbledon.
Obviously semifinals in D.C. last week.
How happy are you with your level at the moment?
Seems like you're playing great tennis.
Yeah, I mean, sure.
I wish that I could have, you know, kept going and kept going further in the tournaments that I played.
But I have to take it one step at a time.
And, you know.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
Yeah, I mean, if I look back at last year, I'm definitely in a better spot.
So, you know, it's all about perspective.
And I just, I feel really happy on court.
So, you know, I just really want to keep that feeling.
Listen, it's going very well indeed.
And we'll see you in a third round.
Give it up everybody for Naomi Osaka.
Well played.
Thank you so much.
