About this listen
Naomi Osaka has been making headlines in recent days, particularly with her withdrawal from the Japan Open due to a left leg injury. The former world No. 1, who turned 28 on October 16, 2025, was the top seed at the tournament but could not recover from the injury sustained during her second-round match against Suzan Lamens. As a result, Jaqueline Cristian advanced to the semifinals via a walkover. Osaka had begun strongly, defeating Wakana Sonobe in the first round.
Osaka recently expressed on social media that she has let go of her fear of being perceived negatively, a fear she's carried since her rise to prominence. This personal revelation comes as she closes out her 2025 season early due to fitness issues, highlighted by her US Open semifinal appearance.
In other news, Osaka's team is facing a shake-up ahead of the 2026 season, though details are sparse. She has also recently shared a video showcasing her final labubu doll, a green bedazzled version inspired by her 2024 US Open outfit.
Osaka has been vocal about her media portrayal, particularly after her Wimbledon loss, where she criticized the focus on her sadness during press conferences. She emphasized her desire for balanced coverage.
As for recent business and public appearances, Osaka has been active on social media, sharing moments with family and friends. Her departure from the Japan Open marks the end of her competitive season for 2025.
