On Saturday, March 22, 2025, at the 2025 Miami Open, Japanese Naomi Osaka (27 years old, WTA world number 61), proud of her Haitian heritage https://www.haitilibre.com/article-44532-haititennis-naomi-osaka-celebre-haiti-avec-sa-2eme-victoire-a-l-open-de-miami-videos.html faced American Hailey Baptiste (23 years old, WTA world number 80).
Not without difficulty, and after three hours of intense competition, Naomi, winner of four Grand Slams and former world number 1, came back from a break down [2-4] in the third set and ultimately won in three sets [7-6 [6], 3-6, 6-4].
Having qualified for the 8th final, Naomi will face top seed Jasmine Paolini (29 years old, 6th in the WTA world) on Monday, March 24, 2025. A match that promises to be particularly difficult for Naomi.
