Naomi Osaka Motherhood Inspiration at French Open Start

Naomi Osaka, a four-time major champion, reflects on the lessons she’s learning from motherhood as she aims for success at the French Open. Reuniting with her 10-month-old daughter Shai in Paris after a five-week separation during the clay-court swing, Osaka draws parallels between the skills required on clay courts – patience, resilience, and adaptability – and those needed as a mother.

Acknowledging the multifaceted demands of motherhood, Naomi Osaka emphasizes the valuable lessons it offers and expresses hope to apply them on the tennis court. She expresses joy at reuniting with Shai, highlighting her daughter’s milestones, including taking her first steps, which bring her immense happiness.

Despite achieving major triumphs on hard courts, Osaka has not yet made a significant impact on the clay of Roland Garros, with her best performance being the last 32. After returning from maternity leave in January, Osaka reached the last 16 at the Italian Open last week, securing a ranking of 134th globally.

As the French Open commences, Osaka’s match opens the tournament on Court Philippe Chatrier at 11:00 BST. Andy Murray features in the evening session against Stan Wawrinka. Additionally, British player Jack Draper will kick off his campaign against Dutch qualifier Jesper de Jong around 12:00 BST. Another notable match on the first day will see Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz facing American JJ Wolf on Chatrier following Osaka’s match.
