Naomi Osaka knocked out home favorite Coco Gauff in a highly anticipated Round of 16 showdown at the U.S. Open on Monday afternoon, marking Osaka's biggest victory since the 2021 Australian Open.
It's also Osaka's first major quarterfinal berth since she gave birth to her daughter Shai in July 2023, but you wouldn't necessarily be able to tell that from Osaka's post-match reaction. After Osaka defeated Gauff in straight sets (6-3, 6-2), she had a relatively subdued celebration before linking up with Gauff at the net.
