"Australia gave me a little bit of self-doubt": Naomi Osaka admits Australian Open gave her a sense of insecurity in her game
WTATuesday, 06 February 2024 at 03:30
Former world number one Naomi Osaka has revealed that her performance
during the Australian Open gave her a ‘reality check’.
The 26-year-old recently returned to the court after a gap
of nearly one year because of pregnancy. Her return did not go as per plan as
she was knocked out of the Australian Open after losing in the first round to France’s
Caroline Garcia in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 7-6.
Osaka was recently quoted in a report where she stated that
her outing in the first Grand Slam of the year gave her a ‘harsh’ reality check
but believes she can perform better in the upcoming competitions.
"It’s like Australia gave me a little bit of
self-doubt,” she said. “Just because I wish I could have played more matches
and like I always do really well in Australia. So, it was a bit of a harsh
reality. But I still think my level is improving every day and I think that I
can be better and I hope that I will be better.”
Osaka, who is a four-time Grand Slam winner, will next
appear in the Abu Dhabi Open in the United Arab Emirates where she will face
America’s Danielle Collins in the round of 32 clash on Tuesday.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
