WTA Interview

I. SWIATEK/N. Osaka

6-2, 6-1

(Transcribed from recorded WTA interview)

WTA: What was the key difference today?

NAOMI OSAKA: Honestly, I'm not so sure. I think honestly I felt like she played really well. Maybe this clay was suited a little bit more for her.

But I also feel like, I don't know, there's something I could have done more, but I'm not really sure what.

WTA: Does it ease your mind a little bit that she's won here a few times?

NAOMI OSAKA: Not really, no. I'm a perfectionist.

WTA: You've had some really good wins here. What can you take from those as you head into Roland Garros?

NAOMI OSAKA: I mean, just trying and fighting. Obviously this match wasn't ideal for me, but I'll just take a couple days to process it and figure out what I can do better next time.
