Naomi Osaka

Jalen Hurst is one.

Also, tennis star, Naomi Osaka.

Osaka is half Haitian for my Haitian father and half Japanese for my mother.

I like the way these young people roll.

They were close.

But, you know, she's, like I say, I mean, this run for Elena Rabaka at the US Open, Naomi Osaka, Qinwen Zheng, Coco Goff, Irina Sabalenka.

I mean, that is WTA finals-esque in a way.

Naomi Osaka is probably a little bit off that in a way.

But those other three players, but even Naomi herself as well as a former, you know, four-time champion, These are heavyweights that she's skittling over.

Qin Wenzheng was serving for the WTA finals just two years ago, and I think she might well be a candidate to qualify for next year's, bearing in mind her recent form.

We also saw a few shocking results on Thursday.

Some big title contenders like Naomi Osaka, Novak Djokovic, and Ben Shelton all felt significantly lower ranked opponents.

And I think while these losses did come at smaller 500 events, they highlight some significant issues plaguing all three players right now.

Hello, my name is Christian Bassnight and welcome to Christian's Court where I cover tennis from all angles.

By the time that this video comes out, they will have already played.

And that'll be a rematch of the Ningbo final on Sunday, which Ravachan won 6-2, 6-2.

Now, another major champion did not have as much success, as great success in the round of 16 as Naomi Osaka.

Her season officially ended.

And so I've seen greater conversation, openness with athletes about their own mental health journeys.

You know, athletes like Simone Biles, Michael Phelps, Naomi Osaka, so many athletes, they're opening up about their own mental health struggles and concerns.

Some of them on the playing field, like Simone Biles stepping away from the last apparatus in the Tokyo Olympics saying, I need to protect my mental health.

I just actually safely cannot do this right now.

Miya Pokankova has produced a major result in Tokyo, and the next round offers a kind of breakthrough.

The Slovakian teenager beat Naomi Osaka in 16-7-5 in the Pan Pacific Open Road of 16 on Thursday, October 29.

Bokanhova had turned 18 a week earlier and entered the event.

with a wild card she was last year's wimbledon junior single champion the wta's report says she covered from early two games to love deficit and stronger set of a save break points to service games during the second she eventually broke osaka in 12 game complete the victory in 1 hour and 35 minutes.

She lost to an 18-year-old wildcard, a former...
