After a very difficult second half of the 2021 season, 2022/01/towards-a-half-djokovic-nadal-if-the-serbian-is-not-expelled-from-the-country/” title=”towards a half Djokovic-Nadal … if the Serbian is not expelled from the country”>Naomi Osaka wants to bounce back in 2022, already trying to retain her Australian Open title. Aware of her mental fragility, she has also decided to prepare differently for the first Grand Slam of the year. She made some confessions about her new, rather original methods during media day.
« I think the way I approach this Grand Slam is a bit different from the others. I brought a diary with me, so I write down how I feel every day. I went to a store to buy candles and incense to create a routine in my room, because I know I will be there for a while. Beyond liking my team, I know there are a lot of players who would love to be in the position I’m in, because being in the final draw at a Grand Slam is definitely a goal. I live day by day. »
Forced to forfeit before the semi-final in Melbourne last week, Osaka also said she was ready for her 1is round against Maria Camila Osario Serrano (53e World) on Monday.
