Regardless of whether she is chunky or not, there's more than one way to be unfit. And she's definitely unfit. She hasn't played since Aus. You can't just waltz into a master's level tourney and think you will run the table when you haven't played in months.
Well they wouldn't give her the mic during the match so she waited around until after she lost and asked for it again. They should have told her no. Whatever she wanted to say, she should take to the presser. Anyway, they are spineless like the ATP. They should never have given her a mic. The only time I've seen the loser speak on court after a match that wasn't a final is when the player was retiring from the sport and that was their last match. If that wasn't enough, then she pulls the race card and says that heckler reminded her of what happened to Williams at IW and she just froze. Really?
Quite frankly I have No Words....like you I thought she was happy to be playing again...I will be interested to see if she plays Miami she was given a wild card....
If you want the crowd to stop being against you , play harder and better. Now I am going to have to go watch that lousy match on YouTube. .No...I will just catch the highlights.
She is now very annoying and very entitled behavior.This poor me behavior is getting old and tired.She must not put Serena and Venus into her weakness.She must quit tennis if she can't handle the pressure.Exactly right. They weren't talking about Veronika. They yelled out Naomi, you suck and she can't handle it. She then asked the umpire to have the person removed and the chair said she didn't hear what was said so she couldn't get involved in that situation. Then Naomi asked if she could use the microphone to address the crowd. WTH! You are supposed to be playing a match. Just who does she think she is? No one is going to give you a mic so you can address the crowd, that's not your place. Then she started crying when trying to serve. It's absolutely ridiculous. She has turned into a big crybaby. She needs to develop a tougher skin and quickly.
It is plain to see Osaka still has 'mental issues' she took time off the tour to address the issues.To me she did not seek help,she decided to push her issues under the carpet,attended as many red carpet shows,even appeared on Sesame Street,etc.
Serena endured a lot from the tennis media and fans.She always stood her ground with her head held high.Serena to me is the most mentally strong person I know ...even though she had Venus on tour she faced more because of her success.The players were hostile but she never said ..poor me.Serena developed very thick skin thanks to her family..probably inherited Richard's mentality.
Osaka has already had time off the tour to address her 'mental health' to no avail may I add.Maybe she does need more time off the tour,great point,to actually see people with real struggles in the world.
She was fantastic, and when she beat Serena on that ugly night, I thought, at least something good for tennis happened, after witnessing the moronic crowd, and Serena’s disgraceful behaviour. Then Naomi start following the fads, became a bore, and then a snore. I don’t know what fashionable grievance she’ll have next, but she probably was accurate only when she said she had mental health issues. I sympathise, but not really…
Osaka did have time off the tour to address her 'mental' issues.Her way of addressing the issues was to go to any and every red carper show,etc,just buried her head in the sand.Came back said she was refreshed and wanting to play.....well that didnt last long.
