Tennis icon Rafael Nadal opted for a tough love approach in his advice to Naomi Osaka after a heckler's taunts at Indian Wells reduced her to tears.
Osaka, 24, complained to the umpire in California and asked if she could use the microphone to address the crowd after a woman in the audience could be heard shouting: "Naomi, you suck!"
The four-time major champion saw out the remainder of a 6-0, 6-4 second-round defeat by Veronika Kudermetova but was visibly rocked by the incident.
