- Jamie Murray and Neal Skupski beaten in straight sets
As prominent names continued to crumble around her, Naomi Osaka advanced in the women’s singles by defeating Viktorija Golubic of Switzerland 6-3, 6-2 to reach the third round.
After lighting the Olympic cauldron and then registering her opening straight-sets win against China’s Saisai Zheng, Osaka will now face Marketa Vondrousova of the Czech Republic as she continues her attempts to shrug off the surrounding pressure.
