Naomi Osaka did not have a great start of the year and she reached her peak when she played the finals of the Miami Open against the incumbent world no. 1 Iga Swiatek. She did not have a great run after that as well.

Moreover, she lost in the first round of French Open. Her Achilles has bothered the Japanese player and former world no. 1 Andy Roddick commented on her trial to cure the issue ahead of Wimbledon.

Andy Roddick on the persistent efforts of Osaka

Naomi Osaka was practicing on an underwater treadmill for her Achilles that has been bothering her for quite some time. She has made this effort ahead of her strife at the grass court major at Wimbledon.

Former world no. 1 Andy Roddick commented on that in an interview. He said, “I am guessing I have never done it. That is probably I didn’t win four grand slams like Osaka. But it makes sense of her Achilles has been bothering her. She was carrying that injury and the Roland Garros, maybe lessening the impact, but still getting the benefit of training and strength. Training going into Wimbledon.”
