Naomi Osaka of Japan advanced to the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open on Monday with a 6-3, 6-2 win over American star Coco Gauff, but she might as well have just taken home the women's title, if an auspicious career stat is any indication.
Osaka, 27, has never lost a major when she has reached the quarterfinal, a fact that bodes extremely well for the remainder of her run. Her previous major QF appearances include the 2018 U.S. Open, the 2019 Australian Open, the 2020 U.S. Open and the 2021 Australian Open, all of which resulted in titles.
