Yep! She’s a lost cause. A narcissist. A real disappointment given how she used to be, but that can happen, I suppose!

After positing that 'self absorbed post' she received soo many bad posts, Osaka deleted it? strange that
Apart r from being a Self Absorbed Brat, to me she is a 'lost cause' she just sacked her whole team.I dont even think she likes playing tennis anymore quite frankly.I have no time for her anymore, sad to say.

I’m sure her parents feel the same reading that tweet. Very disappointed in her since she joined the BLM bandwagon and start flipping the finger at the press. She’s spiralling so far down it’s hard to see her regaining the lost ground…

That was my first reaction when I read her tweet, how disrespectful it was to her parents, I mean they would have sacrificed a lot and supported her in her junior days, to have that written in black and white, went too far in my opinion

It showed how disconnected from reality she is…

Yep, she lives in her own 'bubble'

This is why I wish celebrities would just STFU & keep it to themselves! So often, eventually they'll put their foot in their mouthes! It's inevitable!

I imagine it gets very hard for someone like her to keep up with all the latest trends and fads that might keep her “relevant”…

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Give me a break it is not the first time Osaka and her Tweets have come under fire....she needs to learn
" Engage Brain Before Opening Mouth"
Stay off Twitter and get back to playing tennis, another player who thinks she is too big for the game of tennis

This Tweet from Naomi Osaka,

" I kinda want to play mixed doubles at the US Open, course I've never played a full match in my life but I'm also very afraid of letting my partner down"..

Try to make sense of that if you can

Well it’s quite clear that essentially she’s saying that if she plays mixed doubles “it’s still all about me-me-me even if we lose…”

Thanks for making sense of her tweet

Lawd. I just about fell on the floor...



AND ...
that's even if she decides to grace the court w/ an appearance.

Well..Vikas is making an announcement tomorrow, just wandering what that is about.I hope she is not retiring at the Open.She still has some tennis in her,unless if she is getting broody.

Hey Tossip I just read her tweet? I hope she dosent retire either, she was badly beaten by Emma in her match at Cinncy, though all players have had bad days at the office, I hope that defeat has not triggered her about thinking about retirement

I am kinda sad for Vikas,she has been through a lot.I hope it's about something else and not retirement.Women tennis needs these veterans here and there.The hardcourts are her best surface,if it were not for Serena she could be a winner at the Open.I think also the restrictions levied against players from Belarus must be getting to her.
