Naomi Osaka, winner of the past two Grand Slam titles, is on a 15-match win streak in major tournaments. Throughout her unbeaten run, the Japanese star has prevailed in six three-set matches, rallying from a set down three times.

On Tuesday at Roland Garros, Osaka survived yet another early-round thriller with a 0-6, 7-6 (4), 6-1 victory over Anna Karolina Schmiedlova, a match where the world No. 1 was just two points from defeat on multiple occasions.

Here's a look back at Osaka's closest calls from her last three Grand Slam tournaments:

1. Osaka turned to the back wall of Louis Armstrong Stadium for some help in her 6-3, 2-6, 6-4 win over Aryna Sabalenka in the fourth round of last year's US Open.
