Naomi Osaka might be more comfortable on grass courts these days but she will once again leave Wimbledon in the third round after a 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 loss to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.

Six of Osaka's last seven defeats have been in three sets, with the four-time Grand Slam champion closer than ever to a return to form.

In the midst of her best Wimbledon run since 2018, Naomi Osaka came up short. Osaka was eliminated in the third round of the tournament Friday in a match against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
