Her win against the Japanese superstar follows a superb run to the quarter-final at Indians Wells in the California desert.<\/p>\n
Gibson became the first Australian woman since Casey Dellacqua in 2014 to reach the final eight at the tournament sometimes called \u2018the fifth grand slam\u2019.<\/p>\n
She knocked out three seeded players along the way, including world No.7 Jasmine Paolini in her first win against a top ten player.<\/p>\n
Gibson jumped into the world\u2019s top 100 for the first time as a result, and she is projected to move to 63rd in the rankings after defeating Osaka.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was able to draw on some experiences from Indian Wells to stay calm,\u201d Gibson said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been really cool to see what I am capable of, and it\u2019s really exciting for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her bank balance also received a significant boost at Indian Wells, pocketing US$270,000 for her efforts.<\/p>\n
She will received US$61,865 for making the third round in Miami, but will earn close to US$200,000 if she can repeat her quarter-final run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Australia\u2019s Talia Gibson has continued her giant-killing run, defeating four-time grand slam champion Naomi Osaka in straight sets…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":556028,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[565],"tags":[2095,64,225621,63,689,225594,133407,485,173637,2755,274621,274622,1806,31541,49081,5140,28375,2041,2067,677,85,76104,52477,747,2614],"class_list":["post-556027","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-america","tag-au","tag-aussie-qualifier","tag-australia","tag-australia-and-new-zealand","tag-australian-woman","tag-bank-balance","tag-california","tag-casey-dellacqua","tag-florida","tag-four-time-grand-slam","tag-giant-killing-run","tag-grand-slam","tag-grand-slam-champion","tag-jasmine-paolini","tag-miami","tag-naomi-osaka","tag-north-america","tag-northern-america","tag-oceania","tag-sports","tag-straight-sets","tag-talia-gibson","tag-tennis","tag-united-states-of-america"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/556027","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=556027"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/556027\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/556028"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=556027"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=556027"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=556027"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
