Naomi Osaka sorry after playing the "worst game" of her life in Indian Wells

Naomi Osaka was tough on her performance in the opening round against Camila Osorio at the BNP Paribas Open. The Colombian defeated the Indian Wells Champion 2018 with 6: 4, 6: 4.

When he came into this game, the former world No. 1 was the favorite because in the past she has had the experience of winning this title. She also won her earlier encounter against the Colombian opponent at the Australian Open 2022.

Osaka also showed signs that she came back into the form in 2025 because she had reached a final in Auckland and showed promising signs in the couple that she played at the Australian Open to achieve the third round. On both occasions, the Japanese star had to withdraw from their games due to an injury.

In her game against Osorio, Osaka's servant rhythm was gone from the start. In the third game of the first set, she had to fight a few stops. With 4: 4, however, she was broken in the ninth game, which made it possible to win the first set 6-4.

Osaka lost her service in the first game of the second set, but recovered by breaking back straight away. After winning service games up to 3: 3, Osorio broke the Japanese for the third time. In the ninth game, Osaka saved a match point and forced her opponent to close the game on her serve.

In the last game of the game, Osaka had four stops to get back into the game, but could not capitalize, and Osorio managed to win the victory in her first match point.

After her game, Naomi Osaka was very critical of her performance and called the game “One of the worst” She had played in her career. She apologized to the fans and wrote:

“The worst match I've ever played in my life. Wow, I'm so sorry for everyone who saw it,” wrote Osaka on threads.

The next event from Osaka will be the Miami Open, which is scheduled to take place on March 17th.

Naomi Osaka has not won a title since 2021

The loss against Camila Osorio expanded Naomi Osaka's title. The last title of the four -time Major Champion came to the Australian Open in 2021. Since then she has only reached two finals, the last of which came in Auckland this year.

The former world No. 1 has not had it easy in recent years in her career. The player suffered from injuries, had to take breaks for her mental health and was out of operation for another year when she gave birth to her daughter Shai.

The Japanese player had to work hard to regain a comfortable physique after a difficult pregnancy, which she explained on an Instagram post.

“I know that nobody is interested, but I'm a bit satisfied with my muscle definition now. It was a long trip after pregnancy 😭,” wrote Osaka in her Instagram story.

Naomi Osaka's loss in Indian Wells in the first round in Indian Wells has dropped from 56 to 61 in the live WTA ranking.
