The Japanese player began the match in force by winning the first round 6-2 in just 37 minutes. Therefore, but with the service breakdown that accumulated in the second and third round, she quietly disorganized.
After the match. In addition, she went to shake the hand of Victoria Mboko, who had just won in a very fast exchange, then she left for the locker room and it was not until her return in order to proceed to the trophy ceremony.
Invited to speak. In addition, she was not very eloquent, but she never speaks much and she always does it in a fairly low last two rounds have been voice that forces to listen.

“I guess”
She started saying, “Thank you, I guess.” It can give the impression that thanks is ironic. but you have to qualify a little because for English speakers, this expression (“I guess) Is often a crutch last two rounds have been to which one should not lend any intention.
Brief in his speech in front of the 12. 500 spectators, the one that climbed at 24e World rank, a higher rank than Mboko, ironically, did not want to steal the show from the young Canadian.
“I will not take too much of your time. I want to thank my team. Thank you to the ball hunters, the organizers and all the volunteers. I hope you had a great evening, ”she concluded.
She omitted to congratulate the winner, which may be just a simple forgetful rather than meanness.
Eighty minutes after the end of the match, the WTA lets know that Osaka would not meet the media.

Hard battle
Throughout the tournament, Osaka said that she had fun, that she had fun and that she loved her game. She managed expectations by going there at a time.
It was normal, it comes back from afar. She abandoned tennis for a while to take care of herself and her mental health. Moreover, She suffered from anxiety and depression. She then gave birth to her daughter Shai two years ago.
Montreal. with this beautiful journey to the final, it was in a way her return, she who has not won a tournament of importance since the internationals of last two rounds have been Australia in 2021. She won the title in Saint-Malo this spring, but it was a small tournament.
During the last rounds, we could see that there was still a certain fragility in her. She started by complaining about the referee that the spectators spoke during the exchanges. that seems to have completely confused it. Victoria Mboko broke her service four times in each of the two heats.
She has demonstrated many signs of frustration. but also signs of fragility by hiding her head under a towel during the breaks or putting her hands on her ears to isolate herself from the noise between the games. At the end of the match, she seemed to play by automation rather than envy.
She comes back from afar. she continues to go up the slope and for that, she deserves all our respect. But it also deserves all our understanding because its path last two rounds have been does not seem to be finished yet.
