Naomi Osaka returned to the U.S. Open stage in style — in more ways than one.

The former World No. 1 not only competed in her first match in Flushing in two years, but Osaka also looked dominant at times on her way to defeating the 10th-seeded Jelena Ostapenko of Latvia 6-3, 6-2 on Tuesday inside Louis Armstrong Stadium to pick up her first top-10 victory in four years.

It was Osaka’s first match on the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center grounds since she gave birth to her daughter, Shai, 13 months ago — and the 26-year-old was overcome with emotion...

NEW YORK (AP) — Seemingly back in her U.S. Open match, suddenly a point from getting to a third set, Naomi Osaka lost her way Thursday night, missing forehand after forehand until she ceded that game and chucked her racket, sending it clattering on the Arthur Ashe Stadium court.  Not much later, she was out of the tournament, eliminated 6-3, 7-6 (5) by Karolina Muchova in the second round of an event where Osaka won two of her four Grand Slam titles. “It’s a little rough, because I do take these losses really personally. It’s like a dramatic word, but I feel like my heart dies every time I lose,” said Osaka, the champion at Flushing Meadows in 2018 and 2020, and at the Australian Open in 2019 and 2021. “It sucks a lot, but I’ve been trying to be more mature and learn and talk more about them.” Osaka — once ranked No. 1 but now No. 88 after missing nearly 1 1/2 years because of mental health breaks and time off to have a baby — struggled for much of the early going, dropping five consecutive games and 22 of 26 points in one stretch.

An anonymous NFL agent expressed their belief Thursday that the New York Jets are in a state of turmoil because of quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Speaking to Ben Standig of The Athletic, the agent said: "There is complete disarray over there. Look at how they've handled Aaron Rodgers. Has one player had more power than him? He skipped minicamp. They have been unable to convert him into a team player. The vibe inside the building is terrible."
