Friday after her qualification in the 8th finals of the US Open against the Ukrainian Marta Kostyuket 6-3, 6-7 (4/7) 6-2, Sunday on the Arthur-Ashe court of the "Flushing Meadows" in New York, the Japanese of Haitian origin Naomi Osaka, only needed one hour and 12 minutes to win against the Estonian Anett Kontaveit (24) (21st in the world) in straight sets (6-3, 6-4) and qualify for the quarterfinals.

Naomi will face this Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. American Shelby Rogers (27) 93rd in the world (WTA) "It's been a while since I faced her, but I'm going to go full of optimism. She will be the favorite as I have never won against her [in 3 encounters between 2013 and 2017]," Naomi said.

Favorite or not, Naomi should normally win, having never been defeated in the Grand Slam quarter-final and having each time won the title (US Open 2018 and Australian Open 2019) while her opponent lacks experience in a major tournament, having lost during her only participation in a quarter-final in the Grand Slam (Rolad-Garros in 2016).
