Osaka had a horrid couple of years, sacked her good coach and trainer, so lets how the new mother copes with the tour for starters in 2024

Naomi Osaka is coming back at the Australian Open 24.We with now know who is the real queen of the hardcourts.

The women's tour needs her so much! It was sad to see the state of affairs of women's tennis w/o Barty & Osaka wandering the wilderness at the same time! We have to hope Swiatek can hold onto the mantle and bring some consistency to the tour's rankings!

BTW Naomi Osaka has revealed on her instagram page she is having a girl

Now, I like Emma, though that could change. While she’s waiting to get fit again she’s pimping herself out as a coach. It seems ironic, of course, given her promiscuity in going through so many coaches, but I could be wrong about that:

I know, I can’t believe how grown up she looks. And let’s hope this pregnancy goes better!

[Kieran]

A new couple alert.. Tsitsipas and Badosa.

Yeah, he’s punching above his weight there, I think - the jammy bastard…

 

[the AntiPusher]

A new couple alert.. Tsitsipas and Badosa.

I saw it on IG. Some comments that it was legit. Good pick up for Tsitispas

I hope that it's not a rebound relationship for Badosa.She looks like a woman who has to be in a relationship all the time.She should have given herself time to get over the other guy.I guess she is taking the..get under someone to get over someone mantra seriously.
