Four-time Grand Slam champion
Naomi Osaka recently battled
Danielle Collins at the 2024
Abu Dhabi Open, with the low crowd turnout shocking many tennis fans, including former player
Rennae Stubbs.
Osaka fell to Collins in a high-octane first round encounter, with the American recording a 7-5 6-0 victory. Although Osaka had six break points, she was unable to convert any of them, leading to the Japanese superstar suffering her third consecutive loss this season.
Lack of spectators leaves Stubbs in awe
A viral photo posted by tennis journalist Jose Morgado showed Osaka shaking hands with Collins after the match. However, there were several empty seats in the background, leading Stubbs to express her disappointment with a sarcastic remark.
"Is there like 5 people watching this? WTH?" wrote Stubbs on Twitter.
