Mental health, yes, it is also a big topic at the US Open in New York.Last but not least, Naomi Osaka had really got the stone rolling at the French Open with her press conference boycott, and even before the last Grand Slam tournament of the year.
On Sunday, the world ranking in the social media turned to her follower, in which she first thanked for the "incomparable support" of her loved ones, but also gave insights into her emotional world."Lately I've wondered why I feel the way I feel as I feel, and it became clear to me that one of the reasons is that I think I was never good enough," wrote Osaka.
"I never said to myself that I did a good job.But I know that I constantly tell myself that I'm bad or could do it better.I know that some people have described me as modest in the past, but if I think about it, I am really self -ironic.Every time a new opportunity arises, my first thought is: 'Wow, why I? "
Osaka fights with expectations
Osaka had announced on the edge of the French Open to fight depression for a long time.After her retreat in Paris, the four-time Grand Slam winner then waived the event in Wimbledon, even at the Olympic Games in Tokyo, the local hero was unable to build on her old performance level.
The main responsibility for this made Osaka the enormous pressure she felt.Already in the foreseeable future, the 23-year-old wants to change her approach to tennis: "I think what I want to say with it is that I will try to celebrate more and my successes, and I think we should all."
Opening duel against Bouzkova
"Your life is your own, and you shouldn't evaluate yourself according to other people's standards.I know that I give my heart to all things that are possible for me and if that is not good enough for some, I'm sorry, but I can no longer burden myself with these expectations."
"When I see what is happening in the world, I have the feeling that it is a victory when I wake up in the morning," said Osaka.However, the Japanese could get her first sporting success in New York against Marie Bouzkova in the first night session match of this year's US Open.But the increased attention to the topic of "mental health" should feel like a victory for Naomi Osaka.
