Tennis Bigwig’s Wish for Naomi Osaka Unveiled After Her Defiant Return Left Him Optimistic

Tennis spokesperson Mitch Michals recently expressed his happiness about Naomi Osaka‘s fabulous return to tennis. This is not the first time fans saw Michals being overwhelmed by Osaka’s performance. Previously also this commentator dropped support for the Japanese tennis star by speaking of her great potential in his Inside-in podcast.

Naomi Osaka gave birth to her daughter Shai last July with her partner and rapper Cordae. This motherhood journey kept Osaka off the court for a year. Now with a victorious return, Osaka caught the eyes of the tennis fraternity once again.

Mitch Michals is sure that Naomi Osaka will get back at the top pretty soon

In his podcast Inside-in, Mitch Michals seemed hopeful and happy about Naomi Osaka’s comeback after motherhood. He said- “And she seems like she’s enjoying the process of being a tennis player and has handled wins and handled that loss very well. So it is good to see Naomi enjoying the sport of tennis.”

Adding bits to Osaka’s performance, the other person also added-“That’s crucial, isn’t it? To see it more as something that she has to do but wants to do, I think is the right recipe for success. Never going to lose the ball striking.” Michals then went on to talk about why it is very important for Osaka to keep winning.

Michals said, “She needs to get in the best possible shape. She’s done a remarkably good job of doing that since giving birth. The target is going to be always on her because she’s such a big name player. It’s great for tennis the sport, that she’s back at it.”

Finally, Mitchals concluded by saying– “I don’t think there’s any doubt that she’s going to be back at the top level of the game. And then I just love to see her really competing for tennis in general. It would be so good if she was to play a full season and she was to get back to competing for the game back.”

Naomi Osaka’s first tournament post-motherhood sees an early exit after her defeat

Osaka returned to professional tournaments with the ongoing Brisbane International. While she performed well at the beginning, she couldn’t progress any further after her recent defeat. Karolina Pliskova defeated Naomi Osaka by 3-6, 7-6 (7/4), and 6-4. Not to mention, it was a tough face-off between the players. However, Osaka’s defeat forced her out of the Brisbane International for this season.

Nevertheless, Mitch Mitchal’s comment helps fans understand that this is just the beginning for Naomi Osaka. She will prepare herself to perform better in the upcoming Australian  Open.
