At this Stage
Two days before Wimbledon, Naomi Osaka retired hurt from the Bad Homburg final; questions about her fitness lasted roughly one set. The former world No. 1 and 14th seed raced through the opener against Elsa Jacquemot, then held off a late push to win 6-1 7-5, striking 34 winners — more than double the Frenchwoman's 15 — behind seven aces. Jacquemot will rue the arithmetic: ten break points created, one converted. Osaka advanced to a second-round meeting with qualifier Anastasia Gasanova, her game finding its range just as the fortnight opened up.
