Miami – Naomi Osaka missed out on the Miami Open title Saturday after she was beaten 6-4, 6-0 by Poland’s world No. 2 Iga Swiatek in the final.

Four-time Grand Slam champion Osaka, currently ranked 77th in the world, failed to find a way past the tenacious Swiatek in the first set before capitulating in the second to miss out on what would have been her first title since winning last year’s Australian Open.
