Naomi Osaka was cheered on to a 6-3 6-4 first-round win over Australia's Astra Sharma at the Miami Open on Wednesday, still stung by the heckling she received in a second round loss at Indian Wells.
Playing in what she calls her home tournament, Osaka was in complete command right from the moment she stepped onto the Hard Rock Stadium court, never allowing Sharma a single break opportunity while keeping her 96th-ranked opponent under constant pressure, converting two of 11 break points.
"I just wanted to prove I could come back out here and compete and no matter if I won or lost just know I had the best attitude that I could." She has taken breaks from the sport on several occasions and said after her match on Wednesday that she was seeing a therapist. "I feel like I've been trying a lot of different things because I tend to internalise things, and I also want to do everything by myself.
