Naomi Osaka best moments

Looking at your palm of the hand, did you see a Pokemon Go or something? The serve, I also thought it was kind of suspicious, so I thought I was going blind or something. You believe and know that your game can go up against the game's best players, and I'm wondering, when did you truly believe that? There was a little bit of a glimpse when I, back in 19... no, I'm just kidding. You know there's that commercial that says, if you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma or whatever, that's all I could think about for the whole practice. And I was like, why do I keep thinking this? And then during the breaks, all I could see was that commercial where this woman was running in a field. I mean, it was a good practice, it's just my mind wasn't there. I think it was just muscle memory and stuff. There was one match I was playing, and this person kept telling me what to do, right? So then I kind of wanted to ask him what his ranking was and stuff. She hits flat balls, you can do it. I mean, he was nice about it. At least he wasn't mean, you know? It was kind of... and I actually did do it twice, and it did work. David probably knows a lot about her, so I'll probably talk to him a lot, because he likes to talk a lot. I do this sometimes, because that's the Japanese hello, and they're like, why do you keep doing that with your head? And I'm like, oh, sorry. My hair goes here, right? I think it's where I touch, because if I put it here, then I think it goes more here. So then I can't see while I'm hitting, so I have to put it in a bun. I was double faulting so much, so I was like, please, Jesus, if you're real. So yeah, I mean, I'm glad it turned out to be in. I'm kind of sorry, because I know you guys really wanted her to win. I've always wanted to play against an Australian player, because on TV it always seems really cool, so thank you. You were scheduled to play on Rod Laver Arena, and then the match was brought in here to Margaret Corr. How did that affect you, if at all? Well, I just think there would have been a lot more people cheering for her, so I'm actually really happy about this. So yeah, I think it was good for me, so thank you. What will this victory mean for the people back home, for both sets of fans? I'm really honoured to be playing for Japan, and my dad's side is Haitian, so I represent. But yeah, I forgot the rest of your question, sorry. Fourth round of the Grand Slam, the energy drink's coming out and everything ready to go. It's pretty exciting, isn't it? Yes. I don't even think he told me anything. I think he just threw me on the court. I think I forgot everything he told me. You know what, everything he said, I already knew. I feel like I'm sort of slandering him a little. Oh no, please don't say that. He gave me great advice. Do you feel like you're overly critical of yourself? Does that look like a personal attack? Yeah, I actually do. He gets triggered very easily, and the path's blocked off for no reason, but you can go around it pretty easily. He's just going to argue with the person that blocked the path, but you can just go around, you know? So yeah, I mean, he gets kind of triggered, but it's okay, I guess. Next time, Japanese, right? I tried to say congratulations, but all I did was... I don't understand. Other than that, good job for him. So do you think that improvement of physical makes your mentality stronger? Because you know that you can run faster than before, you can hang in there before compared to last year? Yeah. No, because you kind of answered your own question. I play computer games, and also I watch Netflix, but I just finished the series, so now I'm kind of stuck on what I should do. What are you watching? No, it's because I don't know if I'm allowed to say the title. Because it's about the kid, there's a kid, there's another kid. It's called Everything, if you know the title to that. So I don't want to be toxic, but I play Orisa, Sim, and then Soldier. I mean, that's not that... Oh, I can play Mercy too. Okay, sorry for talking. I want to break records for male and female. I'm coming for Kay. So yeah, that would be a cool thing to do. I'm not really sure what happened to that shot, I guess she hit a winner or something. Oh, I missed, okay. I mean, that was my fault, but... I was thinking, okay, when I win, I'm going to throw my racket and just be super happy. I mean, I saw Dasha shoot through her racket, right? Yeah, and I was going to be like, I'm going to be that extra. Maybe I'll even cry a little bit just to soak it in. You've shown us a great sense of humor. Where do you get that from? I'm not really sure, because my parents aren't very funny. I kind of think I just got it from the internet. Do you ever have the opposite experience where you think we laugh at the wrong moments when you're being serious? Every day. Do you ever think it would be cool to be in her shoes at Stanford instead of what you're doing? Who? Your sister. She's not at Stanford. Where is she? She's in Florida. Do you ever think it would be cool to be in her shoes in college? No, she's not in college either. Is that on Wikipedia or something? I'm so confused right now. But you do have a sister. Yes. I don't know what's going on right now. I really feel like I have another match I have to play. I'm just trying to, like, woohoo. I'm happy. Usually in the morning, I eat the same breakfast every time. But then today, they brought me sourdough toast instead of wheat. I freaked out a little bit, but I still ate it. And then I was thinking, if I lose this match because of the sourdough toast, I'm going to be really upset. She said good job and stuff. I kind of blanked out. I just wanted her to say come on once because I knew then maybe she would be trying a little bit. So yeah, so once I heard the first come on, I was like, yeah. And then when she's serving the ball, it's like, and then I'm arguing with myself. Don't do it. Do it. Don't do it. Do it. And then the ball comes and then I hit it down the line and it goes in the net. And then I'm like, why did I do it? Yeah, and that's basically what happens a lot. Have you seen the movie Crazy Rich Asians yet? Crazy what? Crazy Rich Asians. Have you not seen it yet? I'm sorry. I thought you were saying Crazy Rotations. I'm sorry. You have not seen it? Are there any memes lately or any YouTube videos that you've been obsessed with? Nicki Minaj. To freedom? I'm sorry. That's so funny to me. Everyone that doesn't know what this means is probably like, what are we talking about? When you dreamed of playing Serena, how did that dream match come out? I don't dream to lose, so that's how I'm answering your question. Not caught up in a lot of bad stuff. How do you know I'm not caught up in bad stuff? Well, after Indian Wells, it seemed to catch you by surprise in your acceptance speech. Oh, that terrible speech? Yeah, I'm going to practice, I guess. Geez. He twisted his ankle within the first five minutes of practice. And then I was like, yep, this guy right here, he's going to be great. How come that your last name is the same name of the city? Everyone who was born in Osaka, their last name is Osaka. Is that true? No. When I was growing up, I did a whole report on her in third grade. I colored it and everything, and I said, I want to be like her. Plans to celebrate tonight? Sweet. I'm not really a social person like that. Maybe I'll play video games, I don't know. Have you ever had a drink? No, I'm 20. I'm sorry, but it's so weird, like you're a real person. Yes, usually I send a hologram in, but today I wanted to be here for you. Serena leaned over and said something to you. What did she say to you? What do you think she said? Girl, you're good. So you had a towel over your head after you won, and you were sitting down. Were you texting? What was going on under that towel? I saw something happening under the towel. What were you doing? Were you knitting? What were you doing? No, I was reading what I should say just in case for my speech, because I'm not very good at talking. Gee, you seem so outgoing and boisterous. Celebrity crush? Come on, you can make it happen. You're very famous now. No, I'm not. I don't know his name, but he was in Black Panther, but he was the villain. Oh, Michael B. Jordan? Yes. Do you want me to text him right now? No. Seriously, so I'm going to get my phone, I'm going to text Michael, and I'm going to tell him that he should meet you. No. I'm okay. Well, I'm just trying to help. I'm going to give you $8 million, and after you give me my cut, when I introduce you to Michael, we take a picture of you so I can make sure. Oh, my God. Oh, yeah, we'll take a selfie. All right, I'll sit here with you. Oh, my God. All right. I'm not committing, I'm just saying, hey, we'll see what he says. He's going to like, who's that hottie with you? Yeah, or he may already know. Let's see what he says. You're stressing me out. I'm too young to be stressed out like this. Hey, Naomi, it's Michael B. I saw the tweet this morning, but I didn't respond because I was thinking if I don't respond, then it means I haven't seen it yet. So I was trying to put it off, but I did respond like maybe an hour ago or something. What were you feeling at that moment? Like really happy because Serena, like she told me some stuff and I hugged her. I always wanted to hug her. I know that sounds weird. It don't sound weird to me. Did she say something encouraging to you? Was it funny? No, it was just like she was saying like she was proud of me. And for me, that's just something that I never thought I would hear because I grew up watching her. So just for her to even acknowledge that I'm like my existence, I don't know. That just felt like really surreal. But your father was your first coach. How did he feel about you winning? Well, he didn't really say anything. He just said that he was really happy and he was proud. But honestly, it felt better coming from Serena.
