Osaka has tense exchange with Cirstea at end of match
Naomi Osaka has apologised for "disrespecting" Sorana Cirstea in her post-match on-court interview after she received a frosty handshake and a telling-off from the Romanian.
After wrapping up a 6-3 4-6 6-2 win against Cirstea in the Australian Open second round, a smiling Osaka made her way to the net to carry out the post-match formalities.
But Cirstea gave a brief handshake before exchanging some words with the Japanese 16th seed by the umpire's chair.
Asked in her on-court interview what it took to get past Cirstea, Osaka said: "Apparently a lot of 'come ons' that she was angry about."
