After a confidence-boosting week in Saint-Malo four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka has officially decided her final tournament appearance before the prestigious Roland Garros later this month who took to social media on Sunday to reflect on their time at the WTA 125K event in Saint-Malo “Time to go to Rome after a great week at the 125K in Saint-Malo, France,” Mouratoglou wrote gave her crucial match time as she continues her comeback journey following maternity leave and time away from the sport Her presence in lower-tier events has been a calculated effort to regain form and familiarity on clay Naomi Osaka (JPN) reacts after winning the first set against Liudmila Samsonova (not pictured) on day three of the Miami Open at Hard Rock Stadium Geoff Burke-Imagn ImagesThe Rome Open will be Osaka’s biggest clay-court test yet this season as she prepares to face top-tier competition The tournament is widely considered a key warm-up event for Roland Garros drawing nearly all of the sport's biggest names and offering a chance to fine-tune form on the red dirt The conditions at Rome will be far similar to Roland Garros than those at Madrid While Osaka has never advanced past the third round in Rome or Paris her recent performances have shown flashes of promise and more importantly she has Patrick Mouratoglou on her side. Mouratoglou also shared a few unseen videos of Naomi’s shot making in France and they definitely are proof of how well Osaka is moving on the clay focusing on rebuilding rhythm and fitness while gradually re-entering elite-level play Her time in Saint-Malo not only offered match practice but also a return to dominating the rallies and dictating play It also might have been Patrick’s intention to remind Osaka of her prowess and place in the WTA circuit Naomi Osaka seems ready to take the next step as she looks to balance tennis Related: Naomi Osaka Hit by Backlash From Tennis Fans After a Petty Social Media Post At this week's WTA 125 events, accepting a wild card in France worked out perfectly for Naomi Osaka, while Dalma Galfi and Bianca Andreescu picked up titles in Spain. Here's what took place at the clay-court WTA 125s over the weekend: Former World No. 1 Osaka of Japan collected the first WTA 125 title of her career on Sunday, defeating Kaja Juvan of Slovenia 6-1, 7-5 to win the L'Open 35 de Saint Malo title in Saint Malo, France. Of course, Osaka has been a significant champion in her career, winning four Grand Slam titles and three additional titles on the Hologic WTA Tour. But she had not won a singles title at any level since her most recent Grand Slam at the 2021 Australian Open. View this post on Instagram A post shared by L'Open 35 de Saint-Malo (@open_35) That all changed this week after Osaka took a wild card into the event as the No. 2 seed. Osaka dropped one set apiece to French hopes Diane Parry and Leolia Jeanjean, but she moved through the draw smoothly otherwise. Fun fact: this was not Osaka's first WTA 125 final. She finished runner-up to Yaroslava Shvedova at WTA 125 Hua Hin in 2015, nine-and-a-half years ago. Meanwhile, a quick shout-out goes to former Top 100 player Juvan, who ended a 12-month hiatus from tour in January and has already reached a WTA 125 final. The Saint Malo doubles title was won by No. 1 seeds Maia Lumsden and Makoto Ninomiya. They beat No. 2 seeds Oksana Kalashnikova and Angelica Moratelli 7-5, 6-2 in Saturday's final. View this post on Instagram A post shared by L'Open 35 de Saint-Malo (@open_35) Hungary's Galfi had never won a WTA 125 title until she hoisted the trophy at Oeiras last month. Now she has won two. On Saturday, Galfi swept past Rebeka Masarova of Switzerland 6-3, 6-0 to win the Catalonia Open title in Vic, Spain. Galfi is currently in the midst of a 10-match winning streak. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dalma Galfi (@dalmagalfi) This was a completely dominant week for surging Galfi. She did not lose more than four games in a set during her run through Vic. Galfi, who was a World No. 1 junior a decade ago, is arguably in the hottest form of her professional career. Three weeks ago she was ranked No. 149, but she is now projected to return to the Top 100 in Monday's updated PIF WTA Rankings.
