Returning to the world's top 50 for the first time in two years, Japanese superstar Naomi Osaka remains positive about recovering from injury to challenge for a third Australian Open title.
The former world No.1 was forced to withdraw from the Auckland Classic final on Sunday with an abdominal strain after winning the first set 6-4 against Denmark's Clara Tauson.
She grabbed a double break against Tauson with powerful hitting on both flanks, before dropping serve late in the set.
