LONDON (AP) \u2014 Naomi Osaka\u2019s day out at Wimbledon went much better than plans for her young daughter\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n
The four-time Grand Slam champion reached the fourth round at the All England Club for the first time Friday in a tidy 6-1, 6-3 victory over Daria Kasatkina on No. 1 Court.<\/p>\n
An on-court interviewer then asked Osaka about her daughter Shai\u2019s third birthday on Thursday, as the Japanese player had said they would celebrate by going to a nearby park. But apparently that didn\u2019t work out as planned.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think I should be telling you this, but she was kind of bad yesterday,\u201d a smiling Osaka began. \u201cWe tried to take her to the park but then she needed to go to timeout, so we\u2019re going to try to take her to the park again today.\u201d<\/p>\n
As fans chuckled, Osaka added: \u201cIt was an awesome birthday. She blew out her candles. She made a wish \u2014 I hope her wish is to behave better. Today\u2019s a new day for her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Osaka will next face either No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka or Jelena Ostapenko.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
