Spain's Sara Sorribes Tormo beat Osaka 6-3, 6-1 in the second round Sunday on the Spanish capital's outdoor clay courts. Four-time Grand Slam winner Osaka enjoyed six💫 aces but had her serve broken five times by Sorribes Tormo, who had already betteredꦏ French Open runner-up Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
Osaka said that her movement was limited by pain in her left leg, which 🍰was heavily taped.
“I felt something in my Achilles after my last match, and like I wasn't really able to hit yesterday because I wanted it t♊o go away,” she said. “Honestly, I probably should have been a bit smarter about the whole way that I went through everything.
“I feel like I couldn't play the way that I wanted to play, like I was limited. ... I don't even really know what I did to my Ach♎illes, so I'm probably going to get an ultrasound and s🃏ee what happened, and then me and my team will kind of move forward from there.”
