Naomi Osaka ‘an incredibly different person and player’ on her Wimbledon return
Naomi Osaka feels like a different player and person on her return to Wimbledon and is looking forward to sharing the experience with her baby daughter.
The Japanese player has not appeared at the All England Club for five years having struggled with her mental health and injury before giving birth to Shai last July.
Osaka has never been past the third round of Wimbledon but has returned to the sport with a renewed sense of commitment and stayed in Europe after the French Open to maximise her preparation time.
