Four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka says it doesn’t feel like an Australian Open if there is no night match at John Cain Arena featuring Nick Kyrgios. Kyrgios ha stated multiple times that John Cain Arena is his favorite spot at Melbourne Park.

On Tuesday, Kyrgios saw off Liam Broady in straight sets at John Cain Arena. Osaka also revealed she loves watching 18-year-old Carlos Alcaraz. “I watched Kyrgios’ match last night, and honestly, now I’m feeling like it’s not an Australian Open if you don’t watch a night match of Kyrgios on John Cain.

Like, this guy is literally always on that court,” said Osaka, per Eurosport. “But, yeah, I thought his serve was awesome. I don’t think my serve percentage was as good as his, but it was really nice to see him back and having the crowd so hyped up.

“I really like watching Alcaraz. I don’t know if I’m saying his name right. He’s really good. His forehand, I wish I could trade my forehand for his forehand”.

Osaka so happy after Murray tweeted about her

“Anyone hit the ball cleaner from the baseline than @naomiosaka,” tweeted Murray, along with a fire emoji.

After seeing Murray’s tweet, former world No. 1 Osaka was absolutely delighted. “For me it was a really cool moment,” Osaka told reporters when asked about Murray’s tweet. “It’s a little bit shocking, because when you’re playing, you never really think about the TV is broadcasting it and other people are watching.

So, yeah, definitely really surreal. I hit with him once like three years ago (in Brisbane), and it was like a memory that’s really like dear to me. It was really cool just to have someone like him talking about my game”.

Meanwhile, Osaka has been through to the Australian Open third round. Osaka will be fighting Amanda Anisimova for a place in the Australian Open round-of-16.
