Just saw her cover for sports illustrated. Like it is the 3rd shoot she did after claiming to be depressed by the media. Even people who bought into her "it is the media's fault I am depressed' story are not believing her.
I didn't doubt she was depressed she just lied about why. Osaka sucks on clay and grass. Every year she performs poorly, although she was getting better. Seems fame got to her head as last year she didn't even bother to play the Roland Garros, French Open, or any clay tournaments. This year she skipped Stuttgart to "relax" even though she didn't play the middle eastern tournament, she had a whole month off... She had early exists in 2 tournaments before the FO. It is not surprising that when someone doesn't put in the hard work they produce poor results. She didn't want to hear from the press that she did poorly, didn't want to deal with the criticism so she said no to press. Now that hardcourt season is back she can do press and is no longer depressed.
Her team is a bunch of yes people. It's probably why she fired the German coach Sasch, because he wanted discipline and focus and she couldn't be bothered. It's not just her results on clay and grass that have suffered, her game overall has gone down. Eg her first serve percentage is worse, her movement hasn't improved, she doesn't use dropshots or come to the net. Just stays in her comfort zone. Won't be surprised if she won't win another slam, with players like Barty and Swiatek at the power is becoming less effective, they have to think and have variety.
It is really disappointing from Osaka, used to be such a fan of hers.
PS; the documentary sucks, couldn't get through five minutes of the each of the first episodes. Shallow and vapid with no substance.
