Naomi Osaka overcame another second-set hiccup to reach the third round at the USOpen
With Colin Kaepernick and Kobe Bryant in her player box, Naomi Osaka overcame another second-set hiccup to reach the third round at the US Open.
The defending champion -- still playing with her left knee strapped after injuring it in Cincinnati about two weeks ago -- overturned a 3-0 deficit in the second to end the nine-match winning streak of Magda Linette 6-2, 6-4 as Wednesday's rain gave way to warm sunshine in New York.
