Naomi Osaka shakes the hand of Katerina Siniakova after losing in the third round at the French Open<\/p><\/div>\n

Naomi Osaka\u2019s winning streak came to an end during the third round in Paris at the French Open after losing to Katerina Siniakova in two sets. That brought an end to Osaka\u2019s dream in her pursuit of winning three consecutive Grand Slam Titles.<\/p>\n

What brought about her demise can be argued on multiple levels. Her play was filled with both forced and unforced errors, frustration was seen in each of her matches, but it became apparent that the pressure this young tennis star faced after earned the number one seeded spot.<\/p>\n

Osaka\u2019s loss was the first of two that came as a surprise. Several hours after losing to Katerina Siniakova<\/a>, Serena Williams lost to Sofia Kenin. It was a big loss and reality check on maintaining focus and not allowing yourself to be impacted by pressure for Osaka, who was trying to be the first women since Serena Williams, who won four in 2014\/2015, to win three major trophies consecutively.<\/p>\n

Williams to date has won twenty-three titles, and is just one title away from being the player with the most titles, even passing the record of Steffi Graf, who racked up twenty-two before retiring. All Williams needs is one more, and she will topple the record held by Margaret Court. That record is one not lost on Kenin, who commenting on Serena said,<\/p>\n

“Serena is such a tough player. I’m still trying to process what just happened. She’s a true champion and an inspiration.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
