Japan's tennis star Naomi Osaka has beaten Dominika Cibulkova 6‑2 6‑1 at the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo ‑ her first match since winning the US Open.

The 20‑year‑old beat Serena Williams to win her first Grand Slam earlier this month ‑ a victory overshadowed by Williams' outbursts at the umpire.

The third seed raced to victory in 59 minutes against Slovakia's Cibulkova.

Osaka says she didn't really feel any pressure.
