NEW YORK - The prospect of a Naomi Osaka-Serena Williams U.S. Open final rematch that hung tantalisingly over the year’s final Grand Slam disappeared on Monday with Swiss Belinda Bencic the spoiler by claiming a 7-5 6-4 fourth round win over the Japanese holder.
It was a subdued exit for the world number one compared to the chaotic scenes of a year ago when Osaka claimed her first major title amidst controversy after an explosive confrontation between chair umpire Carlos Ramos and an enraged Williams. Osaka is now gone though and, according to Williams, Ramos was never here. “I don’t know who that is,” she had said when earlier asked about Ramos and last year’s events.
There were lessons learned last year in Osaka’s victory and the 21-year-old Japanese, who will now lose her number one ranking to Australia’s Ash Barty, said Monday’s loss to the 13th seeded Swiss Bencic provided another learning moment.“For me, right now I have this feeling of sadness,” said Osaka. “But I also feel like I have learned so much during this tournament.
