In the post, Osaka shares, “The past few years have been interesting to say the least, but I find that it’s the most challenging times in life that may be the most fun. These few months away from the sport has really given me a new love and appreciation for the game I’ve dedicated my life to. I realize that life is so short, and I donāt take any moments for granted, everyday is a new blessing and adventure. I know that I have so much to look forward to in the future, one thing Iām looking forward to is for my kid to watch one of my matches and tell someone, āthatās my mom,ā haha. 2023 will be a year thatāll be full of lessons for me and I hope Iāll see you guys in the start of the next one cause Iāll be at Aus [Australian Open] 2024. Love you all infinitely.ā
Osaka continues, āSidenote: I donāt think thereās a perfectly correct path to take in life, but I always felt that if you move forward with good intentions youāll find your way eventually.ā
Osakaās baby news comes three days after she announced she would not be playing in this yearās Australian Open (January 8-29, 2023).
The Haitian-American and Japanese tennis star, who has had a successful career overall, has been playing tennis on-and-off since 2021. In 2021, her withdrawal from the French Open after not participating in a post-match press conference to take care of her mental health helped to start conversations about destigmatizing mental illness in the sports sphere and in every day life.
Congratulations to Naomi Osaka and Cordae as they prepare for their child!
