Osaka loses at Australian Open on Grand Slam comeback

Naomi Osaka, a Japanese tennis star with four Grand Slam titles, took a break from tennis in September 2022, citing mental health concerns. After giving birth to her daughter, Shai, in July, she made the decision to return for the 2024 season. The French 16th seed secured victory with a single break in the opening set against Osaka, who appeared rusty after her hiatus. Garcia continued her dominance in the second set tie-break, ultimately progressing in Melbourne.
