Japan’s tennis star
Naomi Osaka is eying success at the
Summer Olympics in 2024. The former world number one recently returned to the
court after a break of more than one year at the Brisbane International.
Osaka was recently quoted in a report where she stated that
she is eying some big success in the mega-event set to take place in the
summer.
"I would love to do something important at the Olympic
Games, but I know that this is a process and I have to go little by little,” she
said. “I want to think tournament by tournament and I have designed a schedule
that allows me to play as many matches as possible be back to the pace of the
competition.
“At the end of it all, if anything goes wrong, I know I can
count on myself to have a really good end of the year, like towards the US
Open."
The 26-year-old started the Brisbane International in style as
she outclassed Germany’s Tamara Korpatsch in straight sets in the round of 64
with a score of 6-3, 7-6.
The four-time Grand Slam winner is now set to face off the current
world number 39 the Czech Republic’s Karolina Pliskova in the round of 32 on
Tuesday.
