Tearful Osaka: 'I think I'm going to take a break from playing'
"I think I'm going to take a break from playing for a while."
NEW YORK (AFP) - Four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka, wiping away tears, said after an upset third-round US Open loss on Friday that she will take an indefinite break from playing tennis.
“I honestly don’t know when I’m going to play my next tennis match,” Osaka said in a news conference after losing to Canada’s Leylah Fernandez.
Wiping away tears, she said, “I think I’m going to take a break from playing for a while.”
With that, she put on a face mask, rose from her chair and ended the session.
