Four-time Grand Slam winner Naomi Osaka is through to the semifinals of the Wimbledon warm-up tournament in Bad Homburg, Germany after a dominant win over Ekaterina Alexandrova.
The Japanese sixth seed won 6-2, 6-2 in just 59 minutes to reach the final four of the grass court tournament just days out from the start of the 2026 Wimbledon.
Osaka, the world number 15, was broken early in the opening set but swiftly struck back against the unseeded Russian.
Osaka won eight straight games, a run which included 15 points in a row as she took the opening set and ran out to a 3-0 lead in the second.
The 19th-ranked Alexandrova rallied to win her next two service games but Osaka closed out the match in just under an hour.
The 2026 Wimbledon, which is the 139th edition of the Championships will start on Monday, June 29, 2026, and conclude on Sunday, July 12, 2026 at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London.
