“Never been more excited for an year to be over”: Naomi Osaka
In fact, she started off the 2021 season in an emphatic style by bamboozling her opponents in the Australian Open. However, post that, things started going south when she stepped into the 2021 French Open. Osaka refused to interact with the Press after her French Open matches which wasn’t liked by the authorities.
As a result, a fine was imposed on her but Osaka had other plans. She decided to withdraw mid-tournament. Although she attracted criticism for her actions early on, people came in her support as her actions forced people to start a conversation about mental health.
After a break, Osaka returned to the court at the Olympics but failed to impress. Post that, she came into the US Open, the tournament from where she rose to fame and everybody thought that she will finally recreate the magic, however, fate had other ideas.
She was knocked out of the tournament in the third round by young Leylah Fernandez after which, Osaka claimed that she will take an indefinite break from the game. Recently, Osaka took to Twitter to announce that she is extremely elated that 2021 is finally over.
Without a doubt, 2021 wasn’t Osaka’s year. She did well at the start but then things went awry. However, we can expect a thumping comeback from the star athlete in 2021.
