Gasanova, the 27-year-old qualifier who’s ranked down at 225 in world, has played four matches just to get this far, and it looks to be catching up with her as Osaka consolidates the break … before breaking again Gasanova lobs long! At 6-3, 5-2, Osaka is a game from away from becoming the first player into round three.The men’s doubles is getting under way today. Dan Evans, who’s playing the final event of his career after harshly being overlooked for a wild card in the singles despite everything he’s done for Britain in the Davis Cup, is currently a set down in his match, alongside Henry Searle. There are many more Brits to come later, including the defending champions Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool, the 2024 winner Henry Patten and the 2023 champion Neal Skupski.So, to the early runners and riders. Naomi Osaka, along with the Queen’s runner-up Tommy Paul, Paul’s fellow American Jenson Brooksby and the 2017 French Open champion Jelena Ostaenko have all taken the opening set in their matches.Osaka, who’s playing the Russian qualifier Anastasia Gasanova, walked on to court in a more practical, pared-back version of her Kill Bill-inspired kimono. Which is probably wise given she had to weave and wind her way through the grounds to get to No 2 Court. Though there again surely she could have just slayed all of the people getting in her way. She’s certainly slaying on court right now, leading 6-3, 2-2.The current scene on No 2 Court. Perhaps.
