Rod Laver Arena: Caroline Garcia showcased a formidable performance, dealing Naomi Osaka a stunning defeat in the first round of the Australian Open 2024 at the Rod Laver Arena.

Garcia's powerful, focused, and disciplined play dominated the former four-time Grand Slam winner, as she secured a 6-4, 7-6(2) victory in under an hour and a half.

Garcia's serving prowess laid the foundation for her impressive win, striking 34 winners, including 13 aces, and dropping only four points behind her first serve. Osaka, making a return to the Grand Slam stage just six months after becoming a mother, struggled to break Garcia's solid game.
