Naomi Osaka cleared the air for those doubting her tennis career as she prepares to welcome her first child into the world with her boyfriend and rapper Cordae.
The four-time Grand Slam champion announced in January that she would miss the remainder of the 2023 season because of her pregnancy with the expectation to return for the ’24 Australian Open. On Friday evening, the 25-year-old tweeted her thoughts about the latest criticism from those who have taken interest in her tennis career since revealing she was pregnant.
“Btw to the people that are suddenly concerned about my career- There are plenty of male athletes with kids that are significantly less accomplished, you might wanna worry about them instead. Thanks for the concern, might wanna redirect it to someone that needs it though 😬,” Osaka tweeted.
