Naomi Osaka was sent crashing out of Wimbledon in the second round on Wednesday by America's Emma Navarro, who allowed the Japanese superstar just five games in a one-sided contest.


Osaka, playing her first Wimbledon since 2019, went down 6-4, 6-1 on Centre Court in less than an hour.


The two players were level-pegging at 3-3 in the first set before 17th-ranked Navarro broke to love and went on to take the first set.


Navarro pounced at the start of the second set, breaking twice to race into a 4-0 lead and broke again to seal the match.


Osaka's win over Diane Parry in the first round was her first at Wimbledon since 2018.


Five years on, the four-time Grand Slam champion, 26, is ranked at 113 having only returned to the tour in January after giving birth to daughter Shai last year.
