Naomi Osaka has decided to start her 2019 in Brisbane where she will have fierce competition.
However, the Japanese had to face another tricky situation ahead of the tournament when she had the opportunity to get close to the Australian wildlife.
The world no.5 had the “ritual” opportunity to hug a koala and to feed a kangaroo, but things got a bit trickier when she handled a rather large snake.
Even if the Japanese didn’t look to be very comfortable, after handling that US Open final, a snake seems to be nothing for Naomi.
