Naomi Osaka said she wept after Wednesday’s epic French Open defeat to Iga Swiatek, but insisted: “I’ve felt worse.”
The Japanese star led 5-2 in the final set of a pulsating second-round clash and even had a match point. But defending champ Swiatek rallied to a 7-6 (7-1), 1-6, 7-5 win, staying on course for a fourth title in Paris and fifth Grand Slam crown.
