In the post-match interview following her Round 2 victory at Roland-Garros 2024, Naomi Osaka expressed her delight and enthusiasm over the experience, labeling it as the most enjoyable match she’s played to date.
The electrifying crowd and the personal connection to her opponent, whom she lost to on her preferred surface last year while pregnant, added to the memorable experience for Osaka.
Despite the loss and crying soon after, she remained optimistic and expressed her eagerness to potentially face her opponent again on her own turf (hard court). Osaka also mentioned her plans to focus on upcoming tournaments in September for her future competition schedule.
