Naomi Osaka pre-event press conference | AustralianOpen 2019

[@just.for.the.downshifts]

She's such a real person, it's so endearing. You feel like she's speaking to you and not merely giving "politically correct" answers in a press conference. Great to have such a personality on tour.

[@elizabethtimothy4776]

My thought exactly, whenever she talks, it's as if she's beside me chatting. She is so genuine is unreal.

[@2smoulder]

Naomi is a sports journalists and sponsors dream. So nice, thoughtful, considerate and honest, yet a fierce competitor on court. Love her...

[@labutis1215]

She always has the longest press conferences. Why? Coz she is nice, funny and open to the public

[@hitgodmb8659]

I never watched women's tennis until she came along. Best player, smart, honest, funny, adorable, interesting on and off the court. What else is there to say.

[@footfault1941]

Kind of mystery .... she's shy (now more relaxed & accustomed to ..), but somehow she talks with a person asking a question in a friendly way. She's a knack or trick to lead a conversation. Genius! Only come closer the micro! At max volume otherwise ..

[@yajilobay]

彼女は、見た目も、話し方も段々魅力的になって来た。この会見も記者を煙に巻くような会話、それも嫌味でなく受けを狙っているところは舌を巻いた。生まれつきユーモアのセンスが或るのかも知れない。・・・あるいは彼女の類まれなサービス精神？　100％の日本人にはないものかも知れない。

[@rc-darkangel774]

She is so young and it seem harder for the younger first slammers to manage pressure but I hope she can stay the same. She has that kind of disarming charm that reminds me of Evonne Goolagong , Chanda Rubin , Kim Clisters and LI Na.

[@MegaBluedolphin]

It is called growth. I really find a few of the questions being asked very irritating. Good on her for calling them almost unreal.

Big momma should be banned from at least one slam, what a disgrace she is. I was just starting to think was ok

[@regulusarcturus]

@@Creees Um no sweetie. That's not how it works. You don't get banned from tennis for calling someone a point thief. She had a game penalty which was in accordance to the rules. Why would she need to be further punished? At least TRY to use your brain before posting a stupid comment.

[@pr4nk5tr]

Genuine chick and I can certainly relate to what she says. Personally I don't mind giving a presentation in front of a large audience but hate small talk.

[@joshheinink]

Because talking to people you have no interest or anything to say or no idea feels like a chore it feels pointless

[@palasigmuanplayer5315]

How can she understands those questions with those so many accents.. no "can u repeat that pls"

[@TheUndersized]

She's the daughter of a Japanese and a Haitian. I bet her family (even beyond her parents) has different kinds of accents and she's just used to that.

[@lizannfortune5098]

She is very honest

[@billyparrish8769]

I/m glad Naomi won

[@Creees]

Is she American or Japanese.... the way she speaks

[@regulusarcturus]

Her mother is Japanese and her father is Haitian and Naomi herself has lived in the US since she was a 1 year old baby. She doesn't even speak Japanese so she is basically an American.

[@Creees]

Wow that is quite bizzare

[@ksm273]

@@regulusarcturus --- Naomi does speak Japanese. Maybe not difficult sentences but she surely can carry everyday conversations in Japanese well. She speaks only English in press conferences, such as this one. I suppose because questions are all rather vague and difficult to answer, i.e. no simple, clearly correct answers.

[@やんちゃ姫-b1w]

She is just Naomi!

[@cyc20976]

@@regulusarcturus Wrong, Naomi Osaka moved to New York when she was 3, other than that she is raised in a predominantly Japanese household and culture. She fully understands Japanese, but speak a little. Thats why she don't need translators when Japanese sport journalist ask her questions. She is like all other asian-americans, they speak perfect american-english, but they hold on to their cultural heritage.

[@redress5]

A shy lady. Would be nice to see more traditional ladies like this. If you listen to the 'tennis podcast' , which has some virtues I admit, it's nice not to hear a female athlete just being her shy self without having to defend why she is not some strong woman, unlike Katherine Whitaker waxing lyrical about gender and left wing politics ad nauseam, and just talk about tennis. Is there even one tennis podcast or broadcast where Ms Whitaker can refrain from making some inane comment about Donald Trump, as if her politics is somehow relevant? One can only hope this delightful lady does not get drawn into the regressive left ideology of feminist and mangina politics, as the years go by in her career.

[@tomsriver2838]

"it's nice not to hear a female athlete just being her shy self without having to defend why she is not some strong woman" You can be shy and still be strong. You complain about Katherine Whitaker bringing politics into tennis, yet you're the one talking about politics in the comment section of a tennis channel. "One can only hope this delightful lady does not get drawn into the regressive left ideology" Hmm...Fighting for women's rights, women's empowerment and women's equality is somehow, for you, a regressive ideology ?? Let me guess...In your ideal world, women should stay in the kitchen, take care of the children and obey to their husband. You know...Progressive wright wing ideology.
