The 23 year old Japanese two times grand slam winner seem to have lost her chi since winning the Australian Open in January 2019.

And from this latest upset its fine to assume that her bitterly parted coach might be the one that has the answers she needs at the moment.

Osaka had lost to Putintseva handily in the second round of Birmingham less than two weeks ago, and also in Hobart in 2018. The second seed has yet to win a set against the 24-year-old.

"If you ask me right now, I would say for me grass is the hardest surface to learn because I've played on clay, despite the fact that it was green clay when I was little," Osaka told reporters at Media Day ahead of Wimbledon.

"But I never played on grass until I was 16 or 17. Every day I learn something while I play here. You only technically play on grass for three weeks out of the year, opposed to the clay season. I just feel like my brain has to work way harder every day than the clay season."
