Naomi Osaka has revealed that she is speaking with a therapist after bursting into tears when she was heckled by a spectator at the Indian Wells Masters earlier this month.
The tennis star complained to the match umpire after a man was heard shouting "Naomi, you suck", during her second round match against Veronika Kudermetova in California. She was seen in tears during a change of ends as she struggled to mask her emotions, and lost the match.
She is back in action at the Miami Open this week, having been given a wildcard to appear at both Stateside events following her tumble down the rankings as a result of inactivity. Last year, she pulled out of the French Open after revealing she had been suffering with depression, and also missed Wimbledon in the summer.
