Osaka makes a winning start in San Jose

Meanwhile, Osaka defeated Zheng Qinwen 6-4 3-6 6-1 to set up a San Jose round-of-16 meeting versus Cori Gauff.

Last month, Osaka decided to end her partnership with ex-coach Wim Fissette. Now, Osaka is back to working with her father. "So another short story. My dad is right there, the guy with sunglasses even though it's dark outside.

He hasn't been around. This is our first tournament back together and it's really good for him to be back because he always makes me smile. I don't know why he's always telling me, 'You're a tennis player, so play tennis,' like I know that.

It's just really good to be back, so I'm just really happy," Osaka said after her opening victory in San Jose. After two Grand Slam victories, Osaka decided it was time to end her successful partnership with Fissette. "It was really good times with Wim and he's a really amazing coach.

He's a very ambitious guy. I was getting injured and I'm sure he would have wanted to go to Wimbledon. So it was two different mindsets, I would say. But he's a really cool guy still," Osaka said.
