Is the following line grammatically correct? "Almost didn't happen, though, against two-time Wimbledon champion Kvitova." Context>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) -- So close to victory, Naomi Osaka suddenly was letting the Australian Open final slip away. Three championship points? Gone. A sizable lead? Soon all gone, too. She was playing poorly. She yelled at herself. Slammed a ball. Tugged at her visor's pink brim. Trudged to the locker room between sets with a towel draped over her head. And then, after returning to the court, Osaka turned it all around just as quickly as she had dropped 23 of 27 points. Regrouping and reasserting herself, Osaka edged Petra Kvitova 7-6 (2), 5-7, 6-4 on Saturday night to win the Australian Open for a second consecutive Grand Slam title. On top of that, Osaka will rise to No. 1 in the rankings. Almost didn't happen, though, against two-time Wimbledon champion Kvitova. Osaka held three match points in the second set at 5-3, love-40 as Kvitova served. But Osaka couldn't close it out. Instead, she completely lost her way. That allowed Kvitova to come back and make a match of it, reeling off five games in a row to take the second set and go up 1-0 in the third. (2)
