Shes still young and a good athlete, i wish her luck and a good comeback. Good luck Naomi. 👍🇯🇵

She seems more relaxed now in this interview, confident and realistic with her goals. Good luck, Naomi. All the best!

Listening to that interview makes me realize that Naomi still has inner work to do to up her mental game emotionally. I believe she thinks that she has a better perspective, because she has been checking in with a psychotherapist when necessary. Maybe motherhood has also forced her to make a shift, wherein she is not so much into her feelings, because now she has a responsibility to her baby girl. The public doesn’t seem to understand that Naomi’s upbringing was very sheltered, and she lacked a lot of socialization skills. This led to her being an introvert, and painfully shy. You can still see it in the interview. It wasn’t an easy conversation. She still is reticent to approach other players with the hope of befriending them on the tour. One cannot change their persona in one fell swoop. It will continue to be a journey for her. I just want to see her fierceness on the court, when she is locked in battle. Love watching Naomi’s game. Wishing her luck at Oz.

🎉Welcome Back Naomi💫

On hard court, if Osaka regains the form she had when she won her four slams, i think she could beat any of the WTA top 10.

While the interviewer covered a lot of territory the session didn't seem conversational but more like someone else said "like a grilling" I feel Naomi has a better grip on what she THOUGHT it would be like and the REALITY. Making that shift is huge because she now knows what she is up against. Wishing her all the best and glad she has returned to play.

@@BRDMPR You hit the nail on the head about "knowing how to engage." Some interviewers study a persons history and then weave that into questions and I think that is what was lacking rather than these are the questions I want to ask and I want to cover all of them.

I hope she does well this year. Welcome back, Naomi!

I hope that she enjoys her comeback and have fun playing again. The interview seems like a grilling.

Rooting for her!

Im a simple guy.I see Naomi, I click.

As soon as I seen this I just clicked on it🙌

Want to see her on court

She seems a confused person: Tennis, fashion, motherhood, depressed due to tennis presure, now excited....

Did she breakdown in this interview?

Living in New Zealand 🇳🇿 has like, all countries; different Shades of Grey. In the World Champion Tennis WORLD 🌎. Being reminded what shade of grey you are is likened to a back hander before you even hit the tennis court. This woman is a highly professional tennis player. Her family, Ms Osakas fans 🌎 worldwide are supportive of a young woman with precision thinking all attributes that build a Winner.

Hopfully she can bring a freshness back to her game and enjoy Tennis again.

I really enjoyed this!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Other people's and opinions is a bouquet of wealth and blessings, there will always be someone who is more knowledgeable about any giving issue and problem that arrives on the surface and not accepting criticism, healthy criticism can offer challenges and less reasoning...look at it as having another coach in your life, to help you forge forward. ❤

Good luck Naomi! So glad to see you’re back😊

She seems much more comfortable in interviews. Earlier in her career she took interviews way too seriously and actually tried to answer the questions she was asked. Most celebrities know, interviews are opportunities to get your message out, the questions don't actually matter, just stick to your talking points no matter what question is asked.

I do hope her mindset has leveled up a bit since having her daughter. Being a public figure is a double-edged sword. She has to learn how to brush things off and go about her day. Her mental game was always where she was lacking. Wish her good luck on her journey, but I'm rooting for Coco and Svitolina all the way!😊

So good to have you back

beautiful person, powerful player

I'm so happy for Naomi becoming a mother and glad to see her back playing tennis but this interview suck. This analyst or reporter asked some of the dumbest questions, she's human just had a baby and of course she's a little nervous and anxious and as well as a fan of the game so this was a boring interview..

Welcome back Naomi. Looking forward to seeing you play

The interviewer needs to make it more of a conversation.

Glad to see her not talking about BLM, good tennis player , welcome back Naomi !

Naomi is a better player than all d top 4 and I love coco so if she gets her game back to peak she will easily win more grand slams not debatable so keep your opinion to your self today lol

Naomi is inspiring to me as a dual diagnosis human being with severe anxiety, the will and outspoken voice is truly appreciated. Thank you!

goodluck to her nice girl.

Well done Naomi ❤

I really hope she can shake up the draw AO 2024 !

Why ask questions over and over it no sense me😊

Some tymes it takes a village; God sent, esp. when starting out in reality.

Weird

😊do you choose to be an athlete? That means accepting all the challenges and getting paid for it. Not everyone loves everything that comes with their careers but you have the luxury of choosing what you want to do and getting rich in the process. So please stop complaining. You’re lucky to do what you do. If you don’t like it get out and return your sponsorship monies.

I like Naomi but I think she lives in another planet!!😂😂😂😂😂😂

What?

Idol Osaka Naomi 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Not traveling with her baby is conundrum in itself. I hear her reasoning but it leaves her open to it being a major factor in how shes able to play with a settled mental state and still cope with the fact that her child is not with her

she will never be on top again. the new younger players are powerful and strong.she's had her time.

Her goal of winning 4 more grand slams is very possible

It may be soothing and therapeutic to talk out your inner feelings bhh its better to talk w a professional and with family members even though they dont share your enthusiasm for the game as you see it, bhh parents are def., more in tune to what their children are in2 bhh not as much their children...now a new generation is born you can understand your parents more and its rewards.

Shzz really stacked up w so much conterns and uncertainties esp w her own parent family,i.e., sister, mom and dad.

Listen up, Naomi! The Williams Sisters gave you and a Whole Generation the template to tour happiness, longevity and relevance. Have a life and other endeavors away from tennis. Take breaks and rest your body when YOU see fit. Plan a limited and strategic schedule. Care nothing about the opinions of the media and the outside world. And end of the day, Set your own standards for goals, success and what is satisfying for you and your career.

@keithestraier-coetzee5487 You're right, " perfectionist," I meant, LL, God Bless her and her fam.

She has made it hard for herself in so many ways by choosing professional tennis except that she made her 5 million before her breakdown. And she has brokered it by becoming a public figure willing to cash in on her anxiety disorder. She will never, in time, regain her supremacy as a tennis player for its own sake. She’s lost valuable time and currency in that capacity.

Does she actually still have sponsors that pay her? There are others more deserving and talented

Very sensitive

Give her 6 months she will be out of there for the crowd heckling her

oh gosh..the biggest crybaby She cries every time she loses...
