Naomi will do fine as a mom, her life is gonna change dramatically for the better 😊
cant wait to see her back on the tennis court. she's a great player
*When she played and tried to comfort Gauff on the tennis court made me a believer in Ms. Osaka, Bless.*
until shh came up bumping, whaa' example of a that for the diaspora youth: the: *Next World Order*
I just have a word of encouragement for Naomi stay positive & be prayerful as a mother have a changing attitude cause nothing will always be right & nothing stays the same. Can’t wait to see u back killing those tennis balls lol We love u!❤
Come back soon Naomi; can’t wait to see you on the court and win!!!
you will be a good mom ❤️
*I wish everyone treasure them self* Niomi Osaka."
We miss the people's champion. WTA tennis is now so boring without Naomi Osaka.
It is not. But certainly, we miss this beautiful soul and terrific player ❤
The WTA is definitely not boring and it’s actually a bit more exciting than ATP because we don’t have the same women winning all the time. In the past 2-3 years, we have seen top players rise and win big titles like Coco (US Open 2023 Champion and BIG WTA-1000 title winner in Cincinnati), Iga Swiatek (4 Grand Slams within 3 or so years plus world number 1 ranking held for over 70-weeks), Rybakina (2 Grand Slams), Sabalenka (1-Grand Slam), Pegula, Wozniaki and Svitolina coming back after their maternity leave with Wozniaki coming back after a 3 year break due to starting a family, etc. the future of women’s tennis is sooo bright. LET’S GO 😀🙌🏽
Great interview ✅
Great interview lovely to see u glowing just do until ur ready to come back to tennis. Enjoy being a mum.
*Shh is not the same person person who's waiting to serve or be served on the tennis🔥🎾 Court.* No doubt.
*We ❤️ Niomi*
*l guess the interviewer was not allowed to ask Hur who's the bby father is*
*A mom*
*interesting bc it seems she has/had a rhythm a musical rhythm; maybe she was hearing the Funk Brothers sound while she was on the court."
*Lucky Guy Man*
*do you mean Multiple Personalities*
*in dah west, mental awareness is like mental illness and it's not hardly sentimentally embraced much bhh apparently it's coming around how ever slowly.* So all eyes are on Hur*👀
*Dear seem 2 be a Zen thing about her*
*ls shh married*
*Bhh didn't shh actually have a mental glitch or something, was it her pregnancy?*
Uh, I’m not hatin on Osaka, but she is NOT iconic… gesh! Everybody’s iconic these days!!😂😂
Naomi becomes a trainwreck since she dated a random rapper hip hop artist who probably is only after her money
I'd say more than a trainwreck. But she's her own woman she does what she feels best at. But I don't think I like that guy though.
She has been a train wreck for years. Now she’s a trainwreck with no career and a kid to raise. 😢
The cute innocent japanese look and vybe is gone...that rapper fucked her up. Maahhn that charm is gone
