Osaka’s reaction on Wimbledon’s cancelation
The All England Club canceled Wimbledon for the first time since World War II. However, that did not disturb Japanese ace Naomi Osaka. During an Instagram Live chat session, venus Williams asked Naomi an interesting question.
“How did you react to the news of Wimbledon being canceled?”
Unsurprisingly, the youngster had a cheeky response to the query.

“I’ve never done well at Wimbledon so I was kind of ok with that!”, said Osaka.
She doesn’t really enjoy playing on grass, and she’s not keen on performing well on the lawn at SW19. Last year, she entered Wimbledon as the second seed and lost in the opening round to Yulia Putintseva from Kazakhstan.
In 2020, Naomi began the season with a match-winning streak of 14. It was continuing from her title victory in Osaka, Japan. It was her first title win since her Australian Open 2019 victory. The streak was snapped by Karolina Pliskova in the semifinal of Brisbane International, wherein Naomi lost the match despite having match points.
