I am mentally tired. OSAKA

Naomi Osaka has amazed the tennis community after she won the Indian Wells title coming from nowhere and playing a tennis out of this world.

Soon after, the upcoming Japanese demolished the great Serena Williams in the Miami opener before falling to Elina Svitolina in the 2nd round.

Naomi is now competing in Charleston where she managed to get to the 3rd round even if she didn’t’ play great tennis against Laura Siegemund.

Why Osaka is tired

During the post-match interview, the Japanese confessed that she was happy with the win, but she was also aware that she wasn’t playing that well to comment

“I feel like my emotions were going everywhere at once. Honestly, I think I only won the second set because it went to a tie-break. I feel it could have gone either way. So, I feel a little bit lucky in that sense.

I would say I was just a little bit stressed out, and I’ve felt like this since Indian Wells. Everything has gone by so fast, and I feel like I’m just mentally a little bit tired, so I think that’s something that I need to learn how to fix.”

Next vs. Goerges

Naomi will face Julia Goerges in the 3rd round. The head to head is 1-0 for the Japanese. The big challenge for Osaka will be to keep her focus and qualify for the quarters.
