Say this about Naomi Osaka. She came to labor on Labor Day.
At around 10:30 a.m., she took Arthur Ashe court for an intense hitting session prior to her fourth-round match against Coco Goff. When it was finally game time, Osaka went right to work, picking apart her opponent, showing why, even as the 23rd seed, she is a threat to win this event for a third time, and winning perhaps the biggest match since she became a mother.
