PARIS — The wind was swirling, Naomi Osaka's shots were flying everywhere except where she wanted and her debut as the No. 1 seed at a Grand Slam tournament was not going well. Not well at all.
In the first set of her first match at the 2019 French Open, Osaka didn't even manage to grab a game. How bad was it? Her opponent had zero winners of her own in that set, because every point came via an error off Osaka's racket. In the second set, Osaka was just two points from bidding adieu to Roland Garros.
