So far, the early results are promising for the budding partnership between Osaka and Wiktorowski. Osaka defeated Ariana Arseneault in the first round of the WTA 1000 Montreal yesterday. However, Osaka will face much stiffer competition in the 13-seed Liudmila Samsonova tomorrow. Currently, Osaka is the World No. 49 with a record of 22-11.

Two-time US Open champion Naomi Osaka will look to regain her form and glory at Flushing Meadows in 2025. In a major move, she has parted ways with her coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, in less than a year.

Osaka's time with Mouratologou followed an up-and-down sequence of promising signs and frustrations with either injury or close-run defeats.
