Fans are stunned with the new look of Naomi Osaka in Doha

Osaka is all set to return to the Qatar Open after almost a gap of 6 years. She’ll face a familiar opponent in her first-round clash at the Khalifa International Tennis & Squash Complex on Monday.

However, she’s now quite eager to give it back to the Frenchwoman. But before getting into the battle mode, let’s have a glimpse at the reaction put in by the fans to Naomi Osaka’s new look at the party.

Naomi Osaka has challenged fashion norms several times in her career. She’s always there to defend her outfit picks. She had even once hilariously proclaimed herself as the “drippiest tennis player ever.” However, when it comes to her challenges on the court for 2024, there has been plenty of it. She had recently suffered her third defeat at the Abu Dhabi Open. Osaka has won only 1 match after her comeback. Several of them have already started to raise a question mark on her ability after this disastrous run in 2024. Can she prove them wrong in Qatar?

Osaka posted a cryptic message ahead of her match in Qatar

A few weeks back the Japanese star wrote, “I’m the type of person that, even if I play the No. 1 seed, I want myself to win, and I kind of expect myself to win, which is the delusion part. But I try not to make too many excuses. I feel like in some capacity, everyone who has achieved something crazy has been called crazy along the way… I kind of like my delusions, they’re cool.

And now, she posted a one-word message that has already started to raise concerns in the minds of her fans about the possibility of her considering retirement. She wrote, “Hmmmmm” on her X(formerly Twitter) account recently. Does it really give a hint at something?
