Naomi Osaka opens up on her difficult 2022 as she prepares for Tokyo Open return ' 'More down than up'

Naomi Osaka has admitted to 2022 being a difficult year as she returns to tennis for the first time since her first-round loss at the US Open. Osaka will play the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo this week — an event which is being held for the first time since 2019 — with her first-round match against Daria Saville (nee Gavrilova) on Tuesday. Ad The 24-year-old will be hoping for an upturn in fortunes having had a dismal 2022 by her lofty standards, being knocked out of the French Open — like the US Open — in the first round, missing Wimbledon, and making only the third round of the Australian Open back in January.
