(Reuters) -An error-prone Naomi Osaka was stunned 3-6 6-3 6-3 by Jil Teichmann in the Western & Southern Open third round in Cincinnati on Thursday but the world number two said she had tried her best and would not lose any sleep over the defeat.

Osaka cruised through the first set and looked like she would make short work of the Swiss wild card before Teichmann settled down and took the second.
