Naomi Osaka vs. Marta Kostyuk | 2024 Rome Round 2 | WTA Match Highlights 

It is amazing how much Naomi improved her physical condition over the last month. She's moving way much better than before!

I am so emotional Seeing her slowly get back to the Naomi we all saw at the US open in 2018 🥺 Still a long long way to go but this is so impressive considering she isn’t the best at clay

Wow! Her best performance by faaaaaar this year.

My favorite player is gradually getting back to her best tennis…I know she still got it!!!! very happy for her. I hope she keeps grinding ❤

Osaka looked really good here. Getting back to her former glory.

Loved hearing the commentators gasping in awe at Naomi's shotmaking. I felt the same.

Osaka definitely showing top tier form again. Admirable 👏🏼

Naomi ran Marta over!!!! It really is lights out when she's hitting so cleanly... feeling excited to see her keep progressing like this! 🙂

Her weight of shot, killer crosscourt winners, and eagerness to attack- yes! Such a treat to see her compete like this.

Osaka on fire. I think she will go long way in Rome.

You can see Naomi literally getting fitter each match. The weight is falling off, and her movement is improving. It may be too early for Roland Garros and Wimbledon but she just might be a serious threat at the US Open.

Osaka is getting better and better. I hope she wins more majors.

Such dangerous performance from Naomi. She’s hitting so hard that Rome’s clay isn’t even slowing down the ball. I think she can def go far this tourny and RG, and def a force to be reckon with on grass and hard courts!!! Go Naomi

Osaka being Osaka, ruthless, pinpoint precision, and smooth hitting… Wishing her to be back to her glory days…. What a formidable combination for women’ tennis imagining- Osaka, Sablenka, Swiatek slugging it out for top honours at Masters and grand slam glory… Exciting times for women’s tennis… Go Osaka 👍👍👍😀

Naomi hits the ball like Andre- there’s a natural command of ground strokes that’s beautiful to watch

Big hitting, big control, big win!

Come on Naomi, you deserve to be at the top again

I've never seen Naomi so comfortable on clay court like this before. Well done!

You can see Naomi hit the ball so passionately this time

Congratulations Naomi! Happy to see you playing so well on the dirt in Roma! 🧱🇮🇹🎉

LETS GO NAOMI, THEM ANGLES LOOKING DEADLY

Naomi is doing much better mentally now. She doesn't have the same issues doing press conferences after a loss; she seems calm and relaxed now win or lose.

I see Osaka very strong. She will have good future.

this is the backhand that give her 4 GS. She is still vulnerable in regards to her movement on clay and net play but remember she didnt have a good 1st serve percentage in this match. Placement of her 2nd serve is not always perfect (Bencic, Iga, Sabalenka can easily fire back those second serve) but its way better than before. The switch of her forehand with highball deep return is also something new and so far consistent. It gives her time and chance to still play during rallies. Surprisingly, this looks like a Naomi Osaka playing in hard court.

She's improving each and every day👌

Omg the old Naomi seems to be back😮

Big power from Naomi. Marta is #20 in the world, and in good form. This was a very strong result for Naomi, who is coming back. Great play.

the forehands from osaka were lethal

The old Naomi is back! More plays like that please.

Osaka's best match so far in 2024. The way she pummeled through in her least fav surface against the in-form Kostyuk really shown the potential that Naomi possesses

Osaka is BACK! 6-3, 6-2 versus #20 in the world.

She is getting better, camon Naomi! Love from México 😊

best clay court match of her career

Naomi need to go for it like ostapenko. Even clay cant stop when u hit loke this

Good to see Osaka improving because when she is losing, it is mighty depressive for us all to look at....she wears her feelings on her sleeve ❤🎉❤🎉

Hope to see Iga play a peaking Osaka in SF 🤩

Osaka is returning to the top👌👍 Of course Marta didn't play her best in this game, and that dress and beauty, oh gosh 😍😍

Woow Naomi is now in the top 150. Amazing that she beat an in form Marta❤❤❤lets go Naomi

Naomi seems to be getting back to her former top form...she just needs to at least win a 250 and get back in top form hopefully. She's had some very good solid matches this year, I hope she can make such displays consistent, specially against Iga and a few others who are not my favorites 🤣 I loive Naomi and I want her to start winning more and more.

Simply brilliant performance from Naomi. This is the player we fans have known since her breakout year in 2018. She is becoming more fit every tournament. Her movement is so much better, I think that by summer hard courts, she will be challenging for titles. So happy for her.

Osaka said she is adding more spin which helps on clay. Practiced training block after Madrid. And regretted playing defense there. And now going full attack. She might pull a ostapenko

Amazing!!!!?!! Almost feel bad for Marta Kostyuk 😢🙂 The ball striking from Naomikun 🇯🇵 was 'almost' unbelievable think this is first time she's won back to back clay court matches since 2019 😳😳🙌🙌🇮🇹🥯🥯✌️😎🎆 Well she's definitely getting comfortable on the surface she has had much success on 😁🎂🌭☕

スゴイ、大坂なおみさん、非の打ち所がない、フットワーク、ショットの打撃力、精度、駆け引きの強さ、全て100点。優勝に向けてGO!😊😊

OMG! Osaka’s ball striking was incredible!

Naomi I knew that you were going to win this match because you had that fierce look on your face. 😊

Damn that wide cross court backhand is so good wtf

Naomi was looking REAL good out there. Moving well, hitting well, targeting sharp.

Que bonito juega la Osaka!!!

Osaka is our Asian proud..she will win some tournament this year and back to best ranking, at least top 50

Wow those backhand angle shots was phenomenal and forehand like a bullet straight to the opponent.😮🎉❤

It was absolutely a more gallant and dauntless performance from Naomi Osaka. I can always observe this swift development on the clay surface with her mobility and compliance. Her timing is really seamless for each strike. It points out that she will plainly be more consistent and steadier than the previous periods.

Mental issues are always a legit part of sport, but aside from that, if Osaka didn't struggle with them, imo, she would be absolutely dominating the WTA for years, including putting Swiatek to the sword, often. Maybe even giving Serena's tally a run for its money. I think at her best, she's clear number 1, ahead of Barty and Iga.

Naomi Osaka is now ready to go deep into the French Open 🎾.

The groundies are there for Naomi. She just needs to work on that return & movement to be a threat again.

Wow, amazing hitting. Have not seen her play like this for a while. I am hoping for a match up between her and Rybakina.

Well played Osaka ❤🎉

First time since Garcia that i felt like Naomi was playing uninhibited. If she keeps playing like this she’ll be back In the Top 10 without a doubt.

Impressive power and hitting all her spots from Naomi.

Naomi regredtted playing defensive tennis at madrid. Had training in spain city after madrid on clay and well full attack mode this tournament

this was gorgeous from Naomi omg

Naomi Backhand Was A Pearl..

I wonder if Kostyuk's dress will come with manual instructions on how to put it on.

Sooo happy Naomi is playing well on clay! Hope she reaches the QF/SF and continue to play well in RG.

Osaka ripping it 😮

My word...I'm drooling..top tier hitting 👌

Saya berharap Osaka juaranya di Italia terbuka tahun ini dan semoga Osaka cepat masuk lagi ke Top 10 WTA 👋👋👋💪💪

Yas she back y’all! Leta goooooo!!!!!!

Great play and win🎉

I have no idea why ppl comment with so much hate when someone who was once good starts losing. We’ve all seen Osaka play before she is incredible & has the weapons to beat all the top players. Same with Raducanu. She played the whole tournament +3 extra matches to qualify to even get in. Straight sets victory, never dropped a set the whole tournament. We’ve seen what these players can do. Women are more in tune with their emotions than men & most would read all the hateful comments idiots like you write. I really hope they don’t, but most of them do. Tennis requires both mental & physical to be in tune. It’s not easy. I’ve seen a fellow friend play in women’s 4.5 league down 0-5 in the third set. She said I’m not losing and came back to win 7-5. Mental toughness, physical toughness, but most importantly, able to unify all these abilities & also keep the ball in & minimize errors while finding out the best way to win against your opponent.

Congrats Naomi, we love you :)

Naomi moving faster now. She has training block after Madrid and said she is adding more spin to win on clay

Para que vean que no solo en cancun llueve sino también en Roma en un máster de 1000 puntos!

Love to see this 🔥 Her game is just 😌😌😌

Glad for the win for Naomi. Marta looked a bit out of sorts though. Hope she is okay.

Kostiuk is so beautiful and she played well

Osaka #1 in the world does it again!😊

1) So happy to see Naomi continuing to build better results in her comeback! 2) WTA, either make it easier to watch your matches or start giving us more than these 5 minute joke recaps. Amateur RU-vidrs are doing it way better than you!

Naomi is such an athlete! Check 2:54 🔥

Osaka real talent- kostyok is just meat

Naomi is so interesting to watch 🔥😎❤️

多分だけどバックで決めに行く事をやめて、安定的なクロスでフォアでしっかりハードヒットする戦法にしたんだと思う。いつもよりバックでクロスが多い。というかほぼクロス。ストレートも際じゃなく真ん中より。今までバックのミスで流れ変わる事多かったしこれはGood

Watch out Iga, I'm coming to get you.

Does anyone have a full match stream of this? I would really appreciate it. It’s the only Naomi match I missed all year.

Every point in the highlights is the same. Osaka attacks, Kostyuk moons the ball back and then lost the point.

Thank you for defeating that rude Marta from Ukraine 🇺🇦.

Marta💔best of the best, beautiful lady powerful let's go 😭🫶✊💪👍🔥🎾🇺🇦

Great playing by Naomi and she’s such a humble kind person. Marta should take some sportsmanship lessons from her . Marta is so cool and unfriendly in her handshakes. Go Naomi!!🎉

Taking out the MVP of the year so far. Not bad.

Νaomi match after match plays better looking better she has so so much talent she will be Top 10 again even top 5 soon WTA needs a great Naomi the girl is so humble and down to earth a good person... Bravo Naomi keep up the hard work keep paying and wining step by step match after match you can do this girlie.👍👍👌👌

Amei 🥎👏🇧🇷

Marta cornered into defensive slices all match

Congratulations Naomi 💪💪💪

Kostyuk needed lots of physical therapy after this match, lol.

Kos has no course.. osaka ate well to hit

Osaka did not like or play well on clay, maybe she changes now

I will say this, Kostyuk has the worst tennis outfits of the women players.

I wouldn't call it a big win, because all Kostiuk can do at this point is run fast on the court and get even aces (due to his excellent stretch and agility).

Osaka show that is very good and dangerous.

This may sound strange but I've noticed that Naomi plays better and seems more positive when her hair is made into a bun and not flopping all over....and when that creature she had a baby with isn't in her box. Keep up the excellent work..love to watch her play and destroy... maybe Iga eventually.

Osaka is back!🌈
