Osaka was cheered on by a 6-3, 6-4 first-round victory over Australia's Astra Sharma at the Miami Open, tearing up during her second-round loss to Veronika Kudermetova after hitting the crowd 10 days later .
"I didn't want to let anything bother me no matter what happened," Osaka, 24, said, adding that "the last match I played was not the biggest memory for me".
"I wanted to prove that I could come back here and compete, and it didn't matter whether I won or lost, just to know that I had the best attitude I could." "
