Osaka opens up on her decision to take a break

After withdrawing from French Open and Wimbledon, Naomi Osaka finally set her foot at US Open 2021. After getting off to a good start in the first two rounds, Osaka’s chase for the title was crumbled by the Canadian star Leylah Fernandez.

I know I’m gonna play again, probably soon because I kind of have that itch again. But it wouldn’t really matter to me if I won or lost. I’d just have the joy of being back on the court. Just to, like, you know, that I’m doing it for myself.”

It seems Naomi Osaka has taken the much-needed break to gather her thoughts. However, fans hope the former World No.1  will come back stronger very soon.
