Naomi Osaka announced on Twitter that she wants to play mixed doubles at the US Open but there is a twist.
The four-time Major singles champion has participated in women's doubles at a few Slams, but she has not yet participated in mixed doubles.
"I kinda want to play mixed doubles in US Open cause I’ve never played a full match in my life but I’m also very afraid of letting my partner down."
The 24-year-old was scheduled to compete in mixed doubles at Wimbledon this year, but she was forced to withdraw due to an injury. In response to Osaka's remark, Kim Clijsters, a fellow four-time Major champion, urged her to play mixed doubles and cited the sport's enormous pleasure factor.

- 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".
