Former Australian Open champ Naomi Osaka is into the third round at a major for the first time since 2022 -- is she hitting her comeback stride?

Naomi Osaka came from a set down to beat Karolina Muchova and reach the third round of the Australian Open - and she admits she was desperate for revenge

Naomi Osaka is back in the third round of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time since 2022 and she got there with wins at the Australian Open over two women who blocked her path last year. Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen won't be repeating her surprising run to the Australian Open final after a second-round upset loss to No.

Zheng Qinwen, last year’s beaten Australian Open finalist, became the highest seed to fall so far in this year’s tournament after she was stunned by world No. 97 Laura Siegemund in the second round.

Distracted by a time penalty and unable to counteract No. 97-ranked Laura Siegemund's aggressive approach, Zheng Qinwen's loss in the second round Wednesday fell a long way short of last year's run to the Australian Open final.

Laura Siegemund is overcome with emotion after earning an upset victory over No. 5 Zheng Qinwen to reach the third round at the Australian Open.
