Naomi Osaka is busy at court, getting ready for her upcoming comeback. The former world No. 1 has demonstrated her persistent skills on the court by providing a glimpse into her rigorous training routine.
Osaka’s most recent competition on the circuit took place in September 2022 at the Pan Pacific Open. Due to an abdominal illness, she was forced to withdraw from the tournament before her match against Beatriz Haddad Maia in the second round.
Following her withdrawal from the Australian Open in 2023, the four-time Grand Slam champion revealed that she was expecting her first child with her long-term partner, Cordae. She gave birth to a daughter named Shai in July.
Soon after giving birth, Osaka made a quick trip back to the court. After only a few days, she was observed actively preparing for her return by participating in drills. Since then, the 26-year-old has increased the intensity of her workouts and has been using social media to keep fans informed of her progress. Osaka recently revealed a sneak peek at her most recent training session, showcasing her excellent court coverage.
The 26-year-old Naomi Osaka will now begin her 2024 season at the Brisbane International, marking the date of her comeback. From December 31 to January 7, the WTA 500 event is planned, providing vital practice for the Australian Open, which begins on January 14.
She posted on her official Twitter account: “Training.”
