N.Osaka is a 4-time grand slam champion. She has achieved more than 90% of her peers. Congrats to being a new mom. However, being a professional athlete nowadays requires strong mental health as well as dealing with the media on a consistent basis. Until she addresses these areas, her on-court game will not be sustainable. Good luck Naomi!!

That US open final against Serena really messed her up. It was a disgusting showing by both the crowd and Serena. They booed her during the trophy presentation. Not surprised she wasn’t the same since.

[@rdg___]

Messed her up so much that she… went on to win the slam right after, became world #1, and then won an additional two more slams? Get a grip. The 2019 US Open final was unfortunate, but it in no way “messed” Naomi up.

4 slams is more than most players ever win. Look at Kyrgios. Rather than seeing lost potential, I think we should be amazed that she was able to accomplish that.

I'd rather have a socially conscious, flawed player representing tennis than a robotic Serbian nationalist like Djoko.

Normal everyday people deal with mental health issues. I can only imagine the strain that comes along with being a successful athlete at her level. The fans, haters, social media, TV networks and media obligations can be overwhelming to some. Particularly, when you're ridiculed for standing on your own principles and beliefs. Irregardless of the circumstances. Some people can handle or overcome it; other people have challenges with it. There is nothing wrong with that.... I admire her for having the courage to openly admit to the things that was hard for her to deal with. Regarding her Country of choice to represent during the World Games; she said on numerous occasions that she wanted to represent her birth Country - something that she's always done. If you have citizenship in the Country that you're born in, that's truly the Country that you're from. Despite the fact that you have multiple citizenships. Where you live and where you're from is two different things... Why is that so hard for people to accept or understand? I hope everything works out for her; she seems like she's a true sweetheart.

[@KimMorgan-hc3rk]

Can't blame Osaka from walking away from the detestable and toxic racist tennis scene!

[@myytchanneldinakoha8498]

She’s a woke race-baiter.

[@sohailhines]

What's not clear is why she had success in the very same "tennis scene" that she later rejected.

[@KimMorgan-hc3rk]

@@sohailhines Agreeably, there could be multiple reasons for her course of action and I, respectfully concur; blessings sir!

[@Mystic_Mary]

Why is it just “the first Japanese player…….”, why are they not calling her Haitian as well?

[@kyngnick8723]

Dis she represent Haiti?

[@Mystic_Mary]

@@kyngnick8723 all the time. I don’t think they have a team though (a team that competes nationally). But she ALWAYS says it in interviews

[@mrgyani]

I hope she wins her 8 slams and more. She is a force of nature, but also human.

[@JamesDoe-ie1sb]

Is women tennis healthy for women players?

[@TennisExtra1]

Certainly, women tennis players maintain a strict diet that is much healthier than the normal population, contributing to their overall fitness. This, along with rigorous training, is one of the sacrifices they make for their sport. Like all great athletes, they put in tremendous effort and dedication to succeed, but the benefits they reap from this commitment are significant.

[@JamesDoe-ie1sb]

@TennisExtra1 is tennis a pre req for mental illness of our iconic youth players? The indy must make it safer for the players.

[@randomdudelol5263]
