Osaka will now head to Melbourne where she will play an exhibition match before the Australian Open begins on January 14. Given Pliskova’s record in Brisbane, the 26-year-old is still proud of her performance and knows that things could be even more promising when she heads down to Victoria.
“I feel like I’m pretty good where I am right now. Even the last time I played her, I think I played better today. Well, score-wise at least,” she explained. “I feel like, honestly, I think I’m pretty good. Like, the court is just really… It’s her court, you know what I mean? I guess I’ll see what happens in Melbourne.”
