It all started a little over twelve months ago: Naomi exploded against the media at Roland Garros and, as if to refuse to attend the press conference, she decided to withdraw from the French tournament. Since that day it has never been the same and the tennis player has faced several difficult situations.

To tell the truth, apart from some surprising performances, Osaka has also had a sharp decline in terms of her results on the court. She said: “I think all of us athletes have to relate not only to the pressure of the outside world to achieve certain results but above all to the pressure we put on ourselves.

As an athlete, inner strength is the key and admitting that I haven’t always been well is a important step. I talked about it openly and realized that not only alone, admitting that I needed a break does not mean I was weak.

It takes more strength to speak than to shut up.”
