Naomi Osaka wants more Grand Slam titles and to compete in the 2024 Olympics in Paris

At the age of 26, Naomi retired from tennis, first due to mental health problems, and then because she became pregnant (she gave birth to a girl in July this year).

The Japanese ex-WTA leader will return to the tennis court on the occasion of the tournament in Brisbane (from the end of 2023, the competition of the WTA 500 category). Naomi has great ambitions and openly talks about participating in the Paris Olympics, as well as winning other Grand Slam trophies.

“I definitely want to win other Grand Slam tournaments, focusing on Roland Garros and Wimbledon (which he hasn’t won so far in his career) and also take part in the Olympic Games in Paris.

In the first chapter of my career, I managed to just be myself, playing instinctively. Today, I think I want to be someone who understands the game a lot better.

I’ve never been someone who was attracted to the idea of ​​playing for myself. So I like the feeling that I have an obligation to take care of Shai (not her baby girl), to show her to the world. I have a small feeling that I am playing for her,” he said Naomi Osaka for the NHK TV channel.

The 26-year-old Japanese athlete also added that she feels “nervous, happy and anxious” before her official return to the tennis court.
