‘There Will Be Hard Times’- Naomi Osaka Uses Michael Jackson’s Help to Send an Important Message

Japanese tennis player Naomi Osaka has been one of the most influential players on the Tour in recent times. From a very young age, Osaka achieved great success both on the court and off it as well.

Naomi Osaka seeks inspiration from the great one 

Recently, Naomi uploaded a few posts on social media. Interestingly, it was the short clip she posted of the legendary Michael Jackson that caught fans’ attention. The lyrics in that short clip made a lot of sense and were motivating for an individual to deal with the hardships of life. 

In the clip, one can hear the wordings go by, ‘Just believe there is nowhere we can fall.’ Over the years, millions of people have witnessed the fine tunes by Michael. His music has gone down in history and many consider him to be the best pop star that has graced the world stage. Naomi posted the picture along with the caption, “Even though there will be hard times everything will turn out alright.”

Coming to tennis, Osaka began competing at the Australian Open this year but was unable to defend her title. She lost in the third round to the American player Amanda Anisimova. 

Has not been up to the mark lately 

Post the Australian Open 2021, Naomi struggled with her performances on the court. It had a lot to do with the mental struggles she had been through prior to the French Open. 

However, it has been some time since that episode and it will be interesting to see how quickly the Japanese superstar bounces back to winning ways. 

At the moment, Naomi is in Los Angeles. She will be next seen at the Indian Wells tournament beginning soon next week. Fans wish Osaka reaches her usually high levels in the 2022 season.
