Tennis sensation Naomi Osaka shared a heartwarming message a day after her heartbreaking French Open opening-round defeat. The Japanese star has suffered a first-round exit at Roland Garros after losing her clash against Paula Badosa despite winning the first set.
The four-time Grand Slam winner took on Paula Badosa in her opening round in Paris. The former world number one smacked breathtaking shots and won the opening set after forcing the game into the tiebreaker. However, she failed to dominate in the second set, which allowed the Spanish star to mount her comeback to win the next set to level up the game.
The duo fought hard in the decider, but it was ultimately Badosa who won the third set of the game and ended Osaka's run in the French Open 2025. During her post-match conference, the former world number one was seen with teary eyes after her gut-wrenching and unexpected loss at Roland Garros.

However, just after a day, the 27-year-old tennis star seems to be in great spirits. The star player took to Instagram and shared her image from the French Open 2025, where she was wearing a Nike outfit. The Japan-born star has revealed what gave her comfort after her shocking exit in the 2025 French Open first round.
"I hate disappointing people. So even with Patrick, I was thinking this just now… But he goes from working with the greatest player ever to, like, ‘What the f*** this is?’ You know what I mean? Sorry for cursing, I hope I don’t get fined, but…. Idk guys, I don’t have anything motivational to say for this one. I tried my best, but this one really hurts. Comforted by the fact that I’ll get referred to as 4x GS winner and never 2025 RG 1st rounder haha," Naomi Osaka said.
