Indian Wells: Naomi Osaka was tied out of the first round in Indian Wales on Wednesday, falling 6-4, 6-4 and fell from Camela Aasurio in the first Japanese star’s first tournament, forcing him to leave the Australian Open.

Former World No.1 Osaka, now ranked 56th in the world, was looking rusty against 52nd class Colombia, struggling to find a range on its powerful ground stroke in a cold night in the California desert.

“There were some things that felt too far because I could only practice serving after a fixed time and such equipment,” Osaka said. “So I think, looking at the situation, was not terrible.

“I don’t feel like I played well, but I was likely to join the match.” Asoreo, a long injury, broke himself, challenged Osaka with a row of drop shots and pieces, and took a lonely break of the opening set for a 5-4 lead. He served him without interruption and then broke Osaka to open another.

Japanese star immediately. It was broken, but Astorio took the upper hand in the seventh game. After Osaka contested the match point against his service, Aasurio served him, and sealing him with a stinging Fourland winner, fighting four break points.

“It’s crazy for me, a dream was fulfilled,” Osorio said, who said with a stomach injury from last week’s event in the Mexican city of Marida. She never won the match in Indian Wales, and became the first woman in Colombia to beat the former world number one.

Osaka, who returned for 15 months last year after giving birth to daughter Shi in 2023, reached Auckland in his first final after 2022, but retired from the title match with a stomach injury.

Back to the Australian Open, she was forced to retire from her third round match with stomach pressure. “It feels just like a bit of a collision on the road,” Osaka said.

Seven months after giving birth to his son Peter, twice the Wimbledon champion Petra Kavitova also fell into the first round. France’s 70th, Varura Graichio, defeated the check 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, but the 24-year-old was full of praise for his 34-year-old rival, who raised the trophy in Wimbledon in 2011 and 2014.

“If you let me leave me a bit, I really want to congratulate her,” said Grichio. “Because he had a baby recently, and I am so happy that he now plays the role of his mother and tennis player, which is very demanding. It is very impressive for sports, players, women. It’s amazing.

This joint ATP Masters and the WTA 1000 tournaments are the first round of all 32 men and women’s seeds. Grichichio met the second round with the ninth seeded Mirra Andrea, a 17 -year -old Russian, the youngest WTA 1000 champion in Dubai last month. In other matches, French veteran Caroline Garcia defeated Wild Card Bernarda Para 6-3, 6-4 to win the second round with the second round defending champion IGA Sweat.

In the men’s action, the Netherlands’ Telon Grexpur defeated Serbia’s Mummir Kekmanoch 6-7 (5/7), 6-4, 6-3, who booked the second round meeting with the top seed German Alexander Zurio, who heads the missing world number in a farm. China’s Bo Yunchukt booked a second round match against the Russian fifth seed Daniel Medvedev, defeating US-based Basori 7-5, 6-4, which has been runner-up with Carlos Alakaraz in the past two years-which is second when it pursues a rare three stomachs.

Japanese veteran Kai Nashikori, who revealed during the Australian Open that he had left tennis after long battles last year, defeated Spain’s Joom Monar 6-2, 5-7, 7-6 (7/3) to defeat France’s 18th Seed Yugs Hambert in the second round match against Hambert.
