Australian Open women's final: Naomi Osaka faces Jennifer Brady in Melbourne

Naomi Osaka says a belief "people don't remember the runners-up" will fuel her bid for a fourth major title when she faces American Jennifer Brady in Saturday's Australian Open final.

Brady, seeded 22th, is in her first Slam final and looking to avenge defeat by Osaka in the US Open semi-finals.

"The winner's name is the one that's engraved," said third seed Osaka.

"I think I fight the hardest in the finals. I think that's where you sort of set yourself apart. The other person has won as many matches as you did. It's the biggest fight.
