It feels lonely being in the final. OSAKA

Naomi Osaka had an amazing run in Indian Wells this week after she reached the final following some smashing wins against the likes of Maria Sharapova, Agnieszka Radwanska, Karolina Pliskova, and Simona Halep.

The Japanese was particularly outstanding after she defeated Simona Halep 6-3 6-0 in the final and she impressed again after the following press conference with a hilarious answer.

Why Naomi is sad

After a journalist asked her how she is feeling being in the final, she answered

“Well, it feels a little bit lonely, because there’s, like, nobody here. Like, I’m kind of — like, as it goes on, there is less players and stuff. It’s kind of cool, but also a little bit, like, sad because then you’re not around the people that you talk to and stuff.

But other than that, it’s cool. Because then, like, all the sushi, there is still a lot of sushi left and stuff.”

The final vs. Kasatkina

Naomi will face another 20-year-old in the final in the desert as she will take on Darya Kasatkina. They have never played each other so far at pro level.
