Naomi Osaka gave her verdict on whether a fan could take a game in a match against professional players. The Japanese player responded to a quick interview for social media with Broadcast Boys during her participation in the Miami Open.
The 4-times Grand Slam champion is gradually finding her form and ended the Sunshine Double by exiting in the third round in both Indian Wells and Miami, with a record of four wins and two losses. Additionally, she achieved two victories against top-15 players: Liudmila Samsonova (No. 14) in Indian Wells and Elina Svitolina (No. 15) in Miami.
Osaka was one of the standout stars in both tournaments, despite not even being in the WTA Ranking until a few months ago. Her start to the season has allowed her to accumulate points rapidly, and she has already re-entered the top 200 with just a handful of tournaments.
While at the Miami Open, Osaka answered a fun interview where she was asked about the chances an amateur fan has of competing with a professional tennis player.
“71% of fans thinks they can take a game off a professional player, is this delusional or accurate?,
“Disrepectful,” Naomi Osaka responded with a smile.
The former world No. 1 will now take a few weeks away from competition, and her return will be at the WTA 1000 Madrid Open for the clay season.
