An emotional Naomi Osaka made a triumphant US Open return by beating Jelena Ostapenko in a blockbuster first-round match.
She missed last year's tournament after giving birth to daughter Shai but watched from the crowd, which reignited her desire to compete. Osaka covered her face with her towel as she cried tears of joy and relief after the win, and became emotional again in her on-court interview."I remember last year I was watching Coco play and I so badly wanted to step on these courts again.
Although she has had some notable performances - including coming within touching distance of beating eventual champion Iga Swiatek at the French Open - she has not gone beyond the quarter-finals of any event.
