Osaka upset by Sakkari in Miami quarterfinal

Reigning US and Australian Open champion Naomi Osaka was upset by Greece’s Maria Sakkari 6-0, 6-4 on Wednesday in the Miami Open quarterfinals, ending the Japanese star’s 23-match win streak.

World number two Osaka, a four-time Grand Slam champion who was chasing her first Miami crown, only won eight points in the first set, never managing a winner.

Osaka broke in the second game of the second set and seized a 3-0 lead before Sakkari roared back.
