An injured Naomi Osaka made a second-round exit from the Madrid Open on Sunday, falling 3-6, 1-6 to home favourite Sara Sorribes Tormo.

Four-time major champion Osaka revealed she sustained an Achilles injury after her opening win against Anastasia Potapova and that it limited her performance against the tireless Spaniard. It was the Japanese star's second consecutive loss to Sorribes Tormo, who advanced to a last-16 showdown with Russia's Daria Kasatkina.

"I couldn't play the way I wanted to . I felt I was limited. There are various things I thought I could do better from the match but I just couldn't do it," Osaka said.
