Naomi Osaka 大坂 なおみ interview after 2nd round win at 2025 Wimbledon

Congratulations. Past an opponent who really likes playing against big names and top players. She knocked out the fifth seed in the previous round. How wary were you of her and how did you counter that? Um yeah, I mean I played her before I think um in the French Open a couple years ago. Um so I knew, you know, she beat me then so I knew she was really difficult to play and um I just tried to have a really positive attitude and not let anything bother me. So I’m glad that worked. How much does that help you? The positive attitude. You’re a four-time Grand Slam champion in the tight moments like the match points at the end or break points. How much of a difference can that mentality make? Um, I mean, I think for me it makes a lot of difference. I’m someone that operates pretty well if I’m very calm, so I like to keep it pretty neutral. And you played a couple of grass tournaments on the way into Wimbledon. How comfortable are you feeling out there? Your movement looked good and and a lot of your game looked like it was starting to work really well, particularly given it’s just the first week of a Grand Slam and you know how to play the whole two weeks. Um, yeah. I mean, definitely playing the whole two weeks would be the dream. And, you know, I didn’t um do as well as I wanted the past grass tournaments that I did play, but I feel pretty comfortable now. So, I’m really excited to hopefully go a little bit farther. Well, it looked great. You’re into the third round again, ladies and gentlemen. Naomi Asaka.
