Naomi OSAKA: ‘I didn’t think I’d be back on tour if I had a baby’
Four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka He came to the US Open and confirmed that he plans to play at the Australian Open next year.
“I actually felt a lot of pressure on me. I’ve always thought that if you have a child, it’s actually the end of your career.
There aren’t many women with children on the tennis tour. They are usually a little older and this seems like a very heavy burden on the body. I never thought I would go back to tour if I had a baby.
For me, I do not know how the beginning of the year will pass … At least I will arrange the end of the year very well, ”said the Japanese woman.
Note that on July 9, Naomi gave birth to a baby girl.
Osaka has won the US Open twice and the Australian Open twice.
