Asked if she could make a big result at Grand Slams as well, Osaka said in press conference: 'I’m happy with the way I play at Slams 'cause they're very important to me, but I kind of wish I could transfer the feeling like to the other tournaments.' Serena Williams also said something positive about her last year at the Australian Open: 'I have seen her play.
She's really young and really aggressive. She's a really good, talented player. Very dangerous.' ALSO READ: Nadal Academy officially opened, Rafa/Solbas beat McEnroe/Wilander in a doubles match
