Asked if she had any words of wisdom for the Swiss about motherhood, Osaka quickly responded, “Oh, she doesn’t want advice from me. I promise!”
“I haven’t really bumped into her. It’s weird,” she added. “When you’re at a Slam, you don’t really see people when you expect to see them. But I guess I’ll see her on the other side of the court.”
Osaka won the pair’s most recent encounter in the 2022 Miami Open semifinals, while Bencic leads their series 3-2 overall.
