セリーナ・ウィリアムズの質問に大坂なおみが涙を流し、キャロライン・ガルシアを思い出す
Caroline Garcia may have hung up her racket after playing her final competitive match at the US Open earlier this year, but the former world number four has quickly found a new passion away from the court. The French woman has been channeling her energy into her podcast, Tennis Insider Club, where she and her co-hosts dive into the untold stories of the sport and the players behind the scenes. In a recent candid interview, Garcia opened up about her career and her new venture, recalling a particularly emotional episode with Naomi Osaka. She revealed that during the recording of the episode at Wimbledon last year, Osaka unexpectedly broke down in tears when asked about her first Grand Slam victory at the 2018 US Open final against Serena Williams. That final, remembered as one of the most controversial in tennis history, saw Williams clash with chair umpire Carlos Ramos in a heated exchange that overshadowed Osaka’s triumph. While Osaka lifted her maiden grand slam trophy, the fallout brought with it an overwhelming wave of online abuse. Garcia recounted how unprepared she and her team were for Osaka’s raw response. We recorded that one at Wimbledon last year and obviously we didn’t have so much experience at that moment. We were still new in the game of media and it was big deal to have Naomi Osaka to have the trust of her team and also the trust of Naomi to do it and I obviously know her from the tour but you know she was away with her pregnancy so I didn’t see her that much either explained Garcia and we asked her a quite basic question about like her first win at US Open against Serena you know and she started to cry she continued and we were like okay like because we didn’t expect it at all our question was not like supposed to be that emotional. The French star described how Osaka revealed the toll the aftermath of that match had taken on her. We got a bit like frozen and said like, “Hey, if you want to take time, like we can, you know, it’s not live.” And yeah, it was very hard to see after so many years how still this moment hurt her. Like the fan’s reaction on Twitter, added Garcia.
