Tennis Star Naomi Osaka Shares Personal Message After Criticizing Herself Over Wimbledon Loss

Naomi, mom to 2-year-old daughter Shai with ex Cordae, continued, “When we first had this conversation I stared at him blankly, I didn’t really understand what he was trying to say to me and truthfully the topic made me panic. After a couple days a realization suddenly hit me.”

Namely, what it means to be 13 years into her professional career.

“I’ve been playing tennis since I was 3, playing professionally since I was 14 and I’m 27 now. I’ve lived almost my entire life playing this sport and I guess it’s true,” she shared. “I am closer to the end than the beginning.”

That’s why, for the tennis star, it’s important to focus on the positives.
