Well, strange things happen at Flushing Meadows. Earlier today, Naomi Osaka completed a thrilling win over Daria Kasatkina to enter the fourth round of the US Open. It was a surreal performance from the Japanese star, who looked like she was finally back to her best after months of struggle on the court. With this win, Osaka set up a clash against the third seed Coco Gauff. Ahead of that blockbuster encounter, Osaka issued an apology to her team for a strange reason.
During the post-match interview after her win over Kasatkina, Osaka said, “It’s been a really long journey. Um, but I’m glad to be here now. Honestly, that wasn’t really in my mind while I was playing. I’m so sorry to my team. I feel like I gave you guys attitude. Like for sure I was giving like the shadiest looks. I’m so sorry. Uh I feel like I turned into a different person when I’m playing. So um sorry you guys. I feel like I was also like screaming a lot.”
