Naomi Osaka, a four-time Grand Slam champion, is competing at Wimbledon. Zhang Shuai, a Chinese veteran, has been eliminated from the singles tournament.
Four-time grand slam champion Naomi Osaka continued to turn on the style at Wimbledon as she eased into the third round, while it was the end of the road at the All England Club this year for Chinese veteran Zhang Shuai.
Osaka, who has won two Australian Open titles and twice at the US Open but not yet at Wimbledon, beat Russia’s Anastasia Gasanova in straight sets.
In a later match, 37-year-old Zhang went down 6-3, 6-2 to the Czech Republic’s Karolina Muchova, the 10th seed, in a match that lasted one hour and nine minutes.
Zhang’s tournament continues in the doubles, where she is seeded fourth in the women’s doubles with Elise Martens of Belgium, and third in the mixed with American Christian Harrison.
China’s other remaining player in the women’s singles player, Wang Xinyu, faces 11th seed Swiss Belinda Bencic later on Wednesday.
Two days after wearing a Kill Bill-inspired kimono ahead of her opening match, Japanese 14th seed Osaka again turned heads, sporting a white jacket with floral decoration and a long train that trailed behind her.
