Rising Australian tennis star Talia Gibson has continued her astounding run of form on the 'Sunshine Swing' in the US by downing Japan's four-time grand slam champion Naomi Osaka at the Miami Open.
After winning six matches at Indian Wells to reach the quarter-finals, the rising 21-year-old has now again come through qualifying in the other big US springtime event while reeling off four more victories, headed by Saturday's 7-5 6-4 second-round sensation.
Osaka, the No.15 in the world, couldn't cope with Gibson's searing form as she became the Perth youngster's fourth top-20 victim in the space of three weeks after wins over Ekaterina Alexandrova, Clara Tauson and world No.7 Jasmine Paolini at Indian Wells.
