Being aware of your fear is smart, but overcoming it is the mark of a successful person. And when it comes to success, Naomi Osaka has achieved several heights in the racket sport throughout her career. But did you know that the Japanese sensation has a fear of heights?

A few weeks ago the 26YO tennis star revealed her surprising phobia through her stories on her Instagram. But now, Osaka is seen braving that fear with a weekend adventure in the hills.

Naomi Osaka shares glimpses of her recent weekend adventure

Naomi Osaka had earlier shared her experience when she went on a run across the Story Bridge in Brisbane. Sharing the details from the harrowing incident she revealed her fear of heights. “Another fun fact which I didn’t know until today – running across tall bridges scares me really bad,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories.

She added that she didn’t know before about this fear of running across tall bridges. Osaka had to even cover her eyes with her hands to avoid seeing the edges down below, chewing her T-shirt to keep calm. But Osaka assured fans that she made it across the bridge and confirmed she’d never do such an adventure yet again. Guess what, a few days later she posted stories of her hiking in the mountains. Although she looked a bit tensed, she smiled when her friend said, “You look like a Lion King.”

Osaka is now enjoying her time off the court after her recent first-round exit from the Australian Open. She has a few days in hand to try out a few more adventures before the ball starts rolling in the UAE next.
