Osaka, 22, said after the match, "For me I haven’t played her in a while, she is a great player.
"I am just going into it very optimistic. I feel like I would be the under dog having never beaten her. I am happy to be still here.
"My leg felt better, I felt like I was moving well so I am happy about that," she said
