The fans currently have a firm grip on their seats as Naomi Osaka faced Caroline Garcia at the Miami Open. The Japanese star, who has been looking for momentum ever since she made a comeback after giving birth to her daughter Shai, had to bend her knees against the French opponent. This ended her expectations for another title.

Besides seeing the efforts that Osaka exerted in the match, the fans witnessed something that aroused immense curiosity. While every other player generally creates/modifies strategies during the breaks, the Japanese tennis pro was rather seen with a pen and paper. This came out to be something similar to what the fans witnessed in Melbourne as well.

Although she hasn’t yet revealed what she actually writes, it appears to be a regular journaling habit. Despite the Japanese’s best efforts, she bows down to Caroline Garcia with a 6-7, 5-7 loss in Miami.

Osaka has been in a series of matches against Garcia ever since she made a comeback after becoming a mother. While their first showdown this year marked an end to Osaka’s Australian Open dreams, the Japanese still managed to complete her revenge, utilizing an opportunity that she received in Dubai.

While the tennis mom’s recent 6-2, 7-6 victory over Elina Svitolina gave fans enough confidence to believe that she would surpass Garcia as well, the French tennis star’s extensive efforts turned the tables. However, despite the defeat, Naomi Osaka’s pen-and-paper antic has left an intriguing mark in the minds of the fans.

The origin of Naomi Osaka’s in-match journal practice

Although the fans were puzzled after seeing Naomi Osaka take a seat and swirl her pen over a diary, it isn’t something that she did for the first time. The fans were expecting several changes in the Japanese tennis star after she made a comeback. While the admirers couldn’t actually notice any major physical changes, her interviews surely marked an increase in thoughtfulness.
