Florida, Mar 19 (UNI) Former world number one Naomi Osaka wants to "play with the big dogs" again after battling to a three-set win against Yuliia Starodubtseva in the first round of the Miami Open.
Osaka came from a set down to beat Ukraine's Starodubtseva 3-6 6-4 6-3 and claim her first victory since the Australian Open second round in January.
It comes after the Japanese player described her first-round loss against Camila Osorio at Indian Wells two weeks ago as the "worst match I've ever played in my life", the BBC reported.
