Osaka and Williams next met a year later, at the Rogers Cup in Canada. The match was once again closely contested, with Williams's top-notch serves eventually giving her the victory in the 6-3, 6-4 match. "We haven't played since New York, which was a really good match for her," Williams said afterward. "I just wanted to come out and try and win a set this time because she's beaten me twice. I just wanted to do the best I could today."
