Former world number one Naomi Osaka has returned to training,
just a couple of weeks after giving birth.
The 25-year-old has been away from tennis with some stress-related
issues and has returned to the news with the arrival of her baby.
However, interestingly, the Japanese tennis star has also
returned to training, much to the surprise and delight of her fans who were
clearly not expecting to see her return to training so soon.
The four-time Grand Slam winner has been very vocal about mental
health and because of that reason, she has also taken long breaks.
Her last match was in September 2022 and many were unaware of the reason behind the latest break but it was later revealed that she was pregnant.
Osaka broke onto the scene following her triumph at the 2018
US Open after beating legendary Serena Williams in straight sets with a score
of 6–2, 6–4.
