Former Japanese World No.1 Naomi Osaka says that she is preparing herself to come back to professional tennis after the pregnancy break. The Japanese star announced her pregnancy in January 2023 via Twitter that she is taking a break due to pregnancy. The 25-year-old’s announcement was a total shock to the tennis world since the Japanese star was planning her way back to top form.
Though Osaka had confirmed that she will come back later in her Twitter post, she has not been open about it in any of her interviews. Now Osaka has said, “I definitely plan to come back. It’s kind of like a break a little bit, but also I feel very competitive still. I really want to win more slams.”
Former World No.1 Naomi Osaka is planning to welcome her baby by focusing on things that will help in the mental health of kids around the globe as well. It was a few days back that the 25-year-old teamed up with modern health to start meditation series to focus on the mental health of kids. (Source: Daily Mail UK)
Naomi Osaka’s boyfriend is Cordae, a grammy nominated rapper
Cordae Amari Dunston is a 25-year-old American rapper, singer, and songwriter. He met Naomi Osaka in 2019. From then on, he has been spotted in Osaka’s player’s box, especially for the matches played in the USA. Cordae had revealed that he was never a tennis fan previously.
In an older interview Cordae said: “If you asked me about tennis, before being immersed in it because of Naomi (Osaka), I could only give you Venus and Serena Williams, you know? Because they’re just a part of the culture“. Osaka had also praised her boyfriend on numerous occasions for being there with her at important matches despite him not knowing any tennis rules at all.
Osaka has been always open to her mental struggles on and off the court. She had even withdrawn from the French Open 2021 stating mental health as the issue. This was open to a lot of criticism at that time. But as the days passed by, more people are seeing Osaka’s withdrawal as an inspiration to state its importance in this result-oriented world.
