A lot has changed since we last saw Naomi Osaka in action. The Japanese tennis star last played at the Toray Pan Pacific Open in September 2022. Since then, she has given birth to her first child and has been away from the tennis scene completely. However, Osaka is aiming to make a comeback next year as she is aiming to get back to her best. Now, she has received help from a familiar face, who is none other than Nick Kyrgios as he extended support to Osaka ahead of her return.

The Australian star himself is recovering from his injuries. Kyrgios too is on the path of making a return during the early part of the 2024 season. Here’s what he said about Osaka.

Nick Kyrgios shares a heartfelt note for Naomi Osaka

Hours ago, Kyrgios took to Instagram to share glimpses of his training session with Osaka. Posting a story on his official Instagram handle, he shared a picture of the practice outing and also posted a heartfelt note for the Japanese star.

Kyrgios wrote in his Instagram story, “The best part of journey is realising that we can all learn something from someone. Will be following and supporting your comeback @naomiosaka!! Happy to help anytime. The whole Kyrgios team is behind you!”

Like Osaka, Kyrgios has also missed almost the entire 2023 season. He played in just one tournament in Stuttgart, losing in the opening round. He’ll be determined to make a strong return once he gets back to full fitness.
