Ruthless Osaka dispatches Sabalenka, Djokovic wins ugly
LONDON, July 5 : Naomi Osaka began her Wimbledon week wearing a kimono-style walk-on outfit inspired by her favourite character from the Quentin Tarantino movie 'Kill Bill' and she ended it by taking out top seed Aryna Sabalenka in brutal fashion.The Japanese 14th seed produced the kind of tennis that took her to four Grand Slam titles as she blazed to a 6-2 7-6(2) win to reach the quarter-finals for the first time, with Sabalenka's demise adding to the carnage in the women's draw.Osaka's victory, following third-round defeats for defending champion Iga Swiatek and 2022 winner Elena Rybakina, means the top three seeds are all out. With Barbora Krejcikova losing to fellow Czech Karolina Muchova in the fourth round on Sunday, a ninth successive first-time Wimbledon winner is guaranteed.Novak
