Four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka insists "she is filtering the negativity" as she prepares to play the Madrid Open.
Osaka, 24, is still reeling from the controversial events of the Indian Wells Masters, where she was reduced to tears after being heckled during her second-round defeat to Veronika Kudermetova. Osaka was beaten 6-0 6-4, after a spectator shouted 'Naomi, you suck' during the opening game.
She did respond by reaching the final of the Miami Open, where she was beaten by world No 1 Iga Swiatek. Prior to that, the Japanese star was reduced to tears as she secured an emotional win over Belinda Bencic.
