Elena Rybakina defeats Naomi Osaka at the US Open, winning 6-1, 6-4 in a match that lasts 66 minutes, and moves into the quarter-finals. The result sets up a quarter-final clash against China’s Zheng Qinwen.
Rybakina is the tournament’s world number two and is described by multiple outlets as sweeping early before closing out the win in straight sets. Osaka, a four-time Grand Slam champion, is held to limited returns and unable to reverse the momentum after a decisive first set. Both reports present the matchup as a direct advancement for Rybakina and a new stage for her US Open campaign.
While both sources align on the scoreline, match time, and next opponent, they differ slightly in wording about the framing of the performance. NDTV emphasizes the quarter-final pairing with Zheng Qinwen, while Free Malaysia Today highlights the 66-minute duration of the win alongside Osaka’s record.
