Is Naomi Osaka Really Facing Depression And Social Anxiety issues?
Naomi Osaka has withdrawn her name from the French Open tournament.
This is the most shocking piece of news today. The world number 2 tennis player Naomi Osaka will not be playing tennis anymore. What the heck is going on in this world? I am still recovering from the trauma of staying in my apartment and looking at the same face. Thi pandemic is going insane and I can’t take any such shocks anymore.

This year’s French Open tournament has already been started. Naomi Osaka also played and won her first match against Patrica Maria at Roland Garros. She achieved so much in the past years. At the tender age of 21, she gained global popularity. With time she became the highest-paid women athlete who represents a whole country. Let me tell you that none of these achievements comes easy. There is a lot of hard work and mental pressure associated with it. It is difficult to stay focused at a young age when half of your mates are drinking and enjoying life.
Naomi Osaka has suffered bouts of depression after the 2018 U.S. Open.
At first, Naomi Osaka refused to attend the press conferences and addressing the press. She said that every such thing is injurious for her mental health. After a few days, she withdrew from the French Open tournament. Well, I am really happy that she was able to take such a decision. Depression is not a child’s play. When she took such a decision for her mental health then we must appreciate it.
The crisis of confidence is not at all good for anybody. Even if you are two times grand slam winner you cannot stand it. Naomi Osaka chose her health and her mental well-being over a hattrick of grand slams. The thing is none of us can understand what a person is dealing with. The same case is with Naomi who has won 24 consecutive matches.
You shouldnt ever have to make a decison like this-but so damn impressive taking the high road when the powers that be dont protect their own. major respect @naomiosaka https://t.co/OcRd95MqCn
