In the Australian Open Women's Final, Naomi Osaka convincingly defeated American Jennifer Brady in straight sets, 6-4, 6-3.
Brady qualified for her first grand slam final this year, enjoying an impressive tournament. Ultimately, though, she was unable to make much of a match of it against a very talented, powerful, and experienced opponent in Naomi Osaka.
For Osaka, this is her fourth career grand slam finals appearance. She has never lost one to date thus far, and this was her most lopsided grand slam final win since beating Serena Williams at the US Open back in 2018, when she first ascended to truly elite status. She now has captured two Australian Open titles (2019 and 2021), as well as two US Open titles (2018 and 2020). Osaka is the only woman to have won a grand slam title in each of the last four calendar years.
It seems likely that Osaka will regain the number one ranking with this win, coupled with the US Open win last year.
