Naomi Osaka aims to replicate her strong performance from the 2023 Montreal tournament – where she was runner-up – at the WTA 1000 event now held in Toronto. The shift in location from Montreal to Toronto prompts Osaka to hope for a continuation of her positive form. This tournament serves as key preparation for the upcoming US Open, a major goal for the Japanese star. Osaka is looking to build momentum and confidence on North American hard courts. Her previous result demonstrates her capability to compete at a high level on this surface. Ultimately, a successful showing in Toronto could significantly boost her chances at the US Open.
