Yeah, it’s a very new feeling, and it opened my eyes to a lot of new things. It kind of just made me realize, like, everyone was a baby and everyone kind of absorbed energy, and we all learned different things, we all kind of appreciate people in the same way. Yeah, the first thing I did after I changed Shai’s diaper was text my mom, Hey, Mom, thanks for everything that you did,” said Naomi Osaka in the interview.
