However, the umpire declined her plea, leaving Osaka to wait until after the match to remark on the issue, which she eventually lost to Kudermetova.

“All I want to say is, ‘Thank you.'” As her voice quivered and she appeared to wipe her eyes, Osaka remarked. “I’ve had my fill of crying in front of the camera. I just wanted to convey that, to be honest, I’d been heckled before and it didn’t disturb me.”

 

Osaka continued, saying that being heckled in Indian Wells, where she had seen footage of Venus and Serena Williams being heckled, “entered into my head and got repeated a lot.”

As her voice cracked, she assured the audience that she was trying not to cry.

“I simply wanted to thank you and congratulate you,” she remarked, motioning to Kudermetova.

Osaka had previously considered taking a break from tennis due to the strains of the sport.

Osaka said last year that she was thinking about taking a vacation from tennis.

“I’ve noticed that when I win, I don’t feel delighted; instead, I feel relieved. And then, when I lose, I’m devastated “In 2021, Osaka stated.

Osaka previously withdrew from the French Open before the second round to take a mental health vacation, having already said that she would not appear in press conferences in Paris.
