New York (AP) – Many things have occurred to the Leguma Osaka – in tennis and out of tennis – since he was first faced against Coco Goff in the United States in 2019.
During that time, Osaka won employees of the four major championships to raise her total career to four, and she helped start a global conversation about mental health by revealing that she suffers from anxiety and depression, and she took a series of breaks from the circle and became a mother.
Facing the two between Jouf and Osaka in the fourth round of Flaching Midoz is a reminder – for them and others – that night six years ago, as well as everything that happened since then.
“At this stage of my life and played against it again, it is frankly, for me … a special thing,” said Osaka.
Osaka was 21 years old and was the current hero of the United States Open and Australian Open; Jouf was fifteen years old and played in the second and first Grand Salam championship in New York. Osaka won in a row group at Arthur Ash, but the most forgotten is what happened after the last point.
Jouf was crying, Osaka went to her comfort and suggested that she went to the audience, which is very unusual for the party’s loser. But Osaka knew that the fans wanted to listen to the American young man who has already shown signs that the star he is today became.
“I remember it was a difficult time for me, because it was a very expected game. I remember that I was thinking retrospectively and I think I was pressuring a lot, believing that I may have had the opportunity at that time to do something, which I certainly did,” Joff said on Saturday, but I think I simply felt more expected, maybe I believed. “
Osaka recalls that he saw the talent and balance that had a young man for such a young player.
“I thought it was treated very well,” said Osaka, who was ranked 23rd in Flashing and recently started working with Iga Swimik, Thomas Wiktorovski.
After winning the United States Open again in 2020, Osaka won the Australian Open in January 2021. In the next Grand Slam, he retired before his second round match and explained the conflicts outside the court he was dealing with, then took the first mental health rest periods.
The last time he reached the fourth round of specialization was four and a half years ago in Australia. He was outside the circle during part of that period while he was on maternity leave.
On Saturday, he talked about “his journey to return here.”
“I simply feel happy, because I feel that all of my hard work pays the fruits.”
Gauff, 21, won the United States Open in 2023 and France is open in June, and was planted third in New York while working with a biomacy expert to improve its problematic service.
Jouf said: “Nomia and I are not close or anything, but we are definitely friendly between us. He supports him from afar in all the things he did inside and outside the court.”
“This will be a kind of déjà vu mode,” he said, believing that this will also be in Asha, but we hope it will be a different result. “
