Angelique Kerber knocked out of Us Open

By Daily Sports on August 30, 2017

Defending champion Angelique Kerber was knocked out in round one of the US Open by Japanese teenager Naomi Osaka.

The German sixth seed was overpowered by the 19-year-old world number 45, who won 6-3 6-1 under the roof on Arthur Ashe Stadium at Flushing Meadows.

It continues a disappointing year for 29-year-old Kerber, who has not won a title since her victory in New York 12 months ago.

"I'm still the same player and the same person," she said.

"I know that I'm strong and I know that I will come back stronger, for sure."

I know that I will not be giving up like this. So for me, I will try to forget the match as soon as possible and look forward again."
