It was the second time in a short time that Osaka received a travel pass already in the third round.

She lit the Olympic flame and was a Japanese gold jumper in Tokyo, but then went out against Czech Marketa Vondrousova.

Now the 23-year-old hopes that she will be able to bounce back during the US Open, which starts on 30 August.

- I have high expectations of myself, but there was nothing more I could do to win this match.

I'm almost glad I lost because I have so many things to practice in my game, she says.

- I just hope that the result comes in time for the US Open.

The only thing she was dissatisfied with was that the prize money did not increase.

Osaka said before the competition that she would donate the money she recorded to her father's homeland Haiti, which was hit hard after an earthquake.

- I'm happy and sad that I did not take myself anymore.

But I think I have increased awareness of it and am happy to be able to contribute something, says the star who donates the equivalent of 212,000 kronor.
