Following her win, Osaka admitted that she didn't even know that Kyrgios had turned up: "Oh, he was there? I did not hear anything, okay."
The former world No1 added: "Oh, my God. I jokingly told someone, Hey, I know Nick's around, maybe he wants to come to my match.
"But I was joking, because I know we're, like, two completely different players. Honestly, I would have loved to come to his matches, because I know he's pretty fun.
"Yeah, I think that's also a big part of why we're different is 'cause I know he kind of like tells his box what to do, and he probably would have noticed if I was in there. I kind of, like, zone out most of the time.
"That's a little embarrassing that he was there.
"I guess it is cool that he was there."
