The final of the Western & Southern Open wasn’t held because of a Naomi Osaka hamstring injury.
2020 Western & Southern Open - a WTA Premier 5 category tournament, on Hard, Laykold, in New York City, 22-28 August 2020.
Defending champion:
Madison Keys (16) who defeated wildcard Sveta Kuznetsova 7-5 7-6(5)
Final result:
Victoria Azarenka was handed a walkover by wildcard Naomi Osaka (4) due to a hamstring injury.
So all the statistics relating to finals for both players are redundant. However, Azarenka still records her 21st title and second Western & Southern Open.
The victory enables a jump of 32 spots in the rankings to #27.
Osaka moves up one place to #9.
Not much rest before the US Open begins.
In opening round matches, Osaka plays Misaki Doi on Arthur Ashe Stadium as part of the first night session on Monday, while Azarenka plays Barbara Haas on Tuesday.
