Naomi Osaka had one of her funny moments during the pre-tournament press-conference in New York. The Japanese sensation was asked about various things and one of the key topics was about her feeling about the accommodation in the so-called bubble.

Osaka about Zverev, Tsitsipas and Denis Shapovalov

Being seeded in New York, Naomi has the opportunity to use the fabulous suites at the Arthur Ashe Stadium like some of her illustrious colleagues. The former world no.1 had the following (funny) comments:

“My neighbors would be TsiTsi Chan [Tsitsipas] and Shapovalov is on the other side next to me. The people that I can see, I see Thiem directly in front of me, and Zverev. He usually has his shirt off and is to the far right.

I feel like everyone kind of comes out at different times. There’s probably a bunch of people, but I haven’t seen them yet.”
