Naomi Osaka recently gave fans a glimpse of her life outside the tennis courts, sharing a collection of photos from her downtime in snowy New York after wrapping up her 2025 Australian Open campaign. Osaka, who has been focusing on balancing her family life with her career, included an adorable peek at her daughter, Shai, in the post. The heartwarming photo captured their hands side by side, showcasing a special moment between mother and child.

Osaka’s Australian Open journey came to an abrupt end in the third round after she was forced to retire during her match with Belinda Bencic due to a strained abdominal muscle. Prior to the injury, she had made a strong start, defeating Caroline Garcia and Karolina Muchova in the opening rounds.

After her early exit, Osaka headed to New York, where she embraced the winter weather and enjoyed a quiet break. Her Instagram post, captioned “a collection of curated photos 🍎 ❄️,” included snaps of the snowy surroundings, offering a contrast to her intense, fast-paced life on the tennis circuit.

The 25-year-old, who gave birth to Shai in July 2023, returned to professional tennis in 2024 at the Brisbane International. Last year, she made notable runs, including reaching the quarterfinals of the Qatar Open and Libema Open. Despite the challenges with injury this year, Osaka continues to focus on her recovery while cherishing moments with her family.
