Qinwen Zhang continued her impressive progress in recent months with victory over former world No. 1 Naomi Osaka. The 21-year-old came through in three sets, 6-4 3-6 6-3, and afterwards paid tribute to her “tough opponent” as she qualified for the last 16. Later in the day, Ons Jabeur is also in action in Berlin, while British No. 1 Katie Boulter plays in Birmingham.

Qinwen Zheng claimed an opening win at the Berlin Open after coming through an entertaining three-set first-round clash against Naomi Osaka.
The 21-year-old showed impressive maturity against the former world No. 1, as the tournament’s sixth seed set up a second-round clash with Katerina Siniakova.

Speaking after her 6-4 3-6 6-3 win, Zheng said: “It was really hard because I got four match points and she served really well. Naomi Osaka is a great player, who has a strong serve and works hard.

“This win means a lot and it’s never easy to play against her. I’ve played against her across all different surfaces: hard, clay, and now grass court.
“It’s a tough opponent to have in the first round, but I’m happy that I did my best today and to get my first win in this tournament in my third year.
“This year I had good preparation, and I’m really happy to win my first match in Berlin because this is one of my favourite countries as well.”
