NEW YORK : Naomi Osaka says 2024 is her "learning year" after coming back to the tour from a maternity break and the former world number one is trying to figure out how to better cope with the setbacks after being given a crash course in early Grand Slam exits.

On Thursday she lost 6-3 7-6 to Karolina Muchova, unable to get to grips with the Czech's superb serve-and-volley tennis. "It's been a little difficult because obviously I can only gauge how I'm doing by results. Like, I feel faster. I feel better, but I lost in the second round. So it's a little rough," she told reporters.
