After her match, Naomi Osaka spoke about how she passes her time while living in the bubble. She explained that she watches Netflix and anime.

Speaking about her activities while living in the bubble, Osaka said, “I watch a lot of anime. I’ve been trying to find stuff on Netflix to watch. I was watching the Queen’s Gambit, but then for some reason, I didn’t finish it. I have two episodes left and I’m not sure why I stopped at that moment. But yeah, just a lot of TV watching.”

This season, most of the tournaments have been conducted with restrictions. It started with the Australian Open and now, even the Miami Open is being conducted with the players living in the bubble. While in the bubble, players are restricted from moving around freely and can only be in the vicinity of the hotel and on the courts where they play their matches. 

Due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, organizers have worked out a plan to minimize the spread of the virus. The number of fans has been restricted for this year’s edition. Only 800-1000 spectators are allowed to view the match on the center court, and matches conducted on the other courts have no spectators allowed at all. 

Naomi began her season competing at the events in Melbourne. Later, at the Australian Open, she won her fourth Grand Slam title and climbed a spot in the rankings. As of today, she is the World No. 2 player and is three wins away from claiming her first title in Miami.
