Osaka says that Indian Well's loss “worst match in my life” | News

“Wow, I'm so sorry for everyone who saw it.”

But with reporters, Osaka was a little less hard for herself when she judged her first match since she was forced from the Australian Open by the same abdominal injury, which she pulled out of the final in Auckland.

“I don't think it was too good at my end,” said Osaka. “There were certain things that felt extremely no longer because I could only practice after a certain time and similar things.

“So I think it wasn't so terrible in view of the situation. But I would have loved to win the tournament and continue to play.”

Osaka's self-criticism may be due to her frustration that a year that has been disturbed so much with its first WTA final since 2022.

But the news was not just bad.

“Firstly, I'm not hurt,” she said. “I feel really good, what, I think, is a positive leaving of it.

“Secondly, it feels really strange because I think I did well in Australia. It feels like a bit when I accept again.”

Osaka, who won her first WTA title at Indian Wells in 2018, said her inability to control her shots, “not a good feeling if I would try to hit the balls that I would normally get into mind”.

She noticed that she had her chances in the game, including Break points in the last game that Osorio had saved to close it.

Osaka said her fights for Constance last year gave her a perspective.

“When I think about last year, I feel completely good at the moment because it just feels like a small bumps on the street,” said the 27-year-old, who will be back in Miami later this month.
