The victory of Emma Raducanu sparks hard fan reactions for Naomi Osaka: ‘Everything that has left is drama’

Even before two former Grand Slam champions, Naomi Osaka And Emma Raducanu, took the court against each other in Washington, many had already made a decision. Of the four -fold SLAM Queen and former World No. 1, they were expected to easily go beyond the Brit, who will win a single event after her outbreak success at The Flushing Meadows in 2021. But in sport you can never predict things that easy, right? The end result on Thursday surprised everyone – including Osaka, while the Japanese star was driven out of the WTA 500 event. Moreover, fans made smoking about the way in which she has played lately. With another disappointing campaign this season, it only looks grim. Especially for the American open.

Raducanu and Osaka met for the first time in their career. Although the experience tilted the benefit of the Japanese pro, the Brit showed what she can do if she is really in her groove. Raducanu dominated Osaka in straight sets with a scoreline of 6-4, 6-2. In just one hour, 21 minutes, she opened the quarterfinals of the CITI for a third consecutive time.

In her previous two campaigns (2022 and 2024), Raducanu also had a similar run, but could not go further. This time, however, things look very different thanks to her impressive service game in which she succeeded in maintaining the difference between the first and seconds to a minimum. After having put a formidable rival such as Marta Kostyuk in the opener, gaining a victory over several SLAM champion Osaka only means good things for her morality.

But what about Osaka? Well, her 2025 season only gets worse at every tournament. Since she won her only event of the season, in May on Clay in Saint-Malo, she has a hard time. The shape is simply not there and it is now becoming clear. After confronting early outputs in Paris, Berlin, Bad Homburg and Wimbledon, she met a setback.

Yet the result against Emma Raducanu Comes like a shock that Osaka has been impressive on Hard Court. After all, she has won four slams on this surface. But the Brit had a plan against her and she performed well. After the victory, she revealed, “I thought it was pretty mature, and I held my own service games very well. I knew it was in the game that Naomi played well, loves the hard court. So I should play well and manage my own service games, because she is very dangerous, hits a large ball and is very good. The Citi Open website reported on July 24.

Speaking of Osaka, she has become the subject of serious criticism of social media after her debacle against Raducanu.

Fans get out of her loss in Washington at Naomi Osaka

A fan easily asked, “Why is Osaka still playing?” After witnessing what happened in Washington. Maybe she hints at the constant failures she had had this entire season. After coming back earlier this year, Naomi Osaka is hardly impressed. The majority of her performances ended up in the early round outputs. Another person chimed in while he emphasized, “Osaka is where all that remains is drama.”

In the meeting on Thursday, Osaka looked too reckless in her shot skills, making 38 casual mistakes committed, despite the fire of 19 winners. That speaks a lot about her miserable form. A fan just wondered “I thought Osaka was good for hard courts? Well, their doubtful reaction is logical. Since she won the headlines in 2018 with her Maiden Slam victory on the American Hard Court, Osaka was great on the surface and won three Majors on Hard Court (Australian Open in 2019 and 2021 and US Open in 2020).

Recently, the former world no. 1 was very active in placing her thoughts about threads. For example, earlier this year, when she crashed from the R128 of the Indian Wells against an unwanted Camila Osorio, she went to the platform to apologize for the fans for the bad show she had set up. Yet a network could not help, but take a jibe with the social media activity of Osaka: “Naomi is about to write a small remark about Thread.”

However, one fan still hopes that Osaka is turning things around. ‘The doubters said they [Raducanu] Was a coincidence and choker. It is clear that Emma Raducanu has something and she has shown it today. Noami Osaka goes through a bad bad patch, but I hope she sticks to it and hopes for final validation. She did it 4 times before and she can do it again, ” They wrote. What do you think? Will the US open the revival of She Osaka? Let us know in the comments below.
