Naomi
@afrochicks
interesting to see the discourse around naomi osaka’s post match interview most great athletes hate losing more than they love winning the emptiness and sadness i felt after an underperformance in sports was visceral especially as an individual athlete not in a team sport i think that its because the loss is so measurable like you’re literally a loser🤣 it’s so visible and public too if you mess up at work it’s between you and your boss maybe colleagues too but to lose when the world is watching, when your family and friends are cheering for you and maybe even travelled and bought tickets to support you just sucks brain replaying every mistake you made non stop but she’ll be fine and bounce back it’s just part of sport https://x.com/espnw/status/1941175577806848234?s=46

I think she (Naomi) has much more going on with her, she's history of depression or probably still depressed. And to me, she's trying her best to get back at least top 10 spot again or win a slam in order to feel better, but with every attempt it's just getting bad. Hope she'll be fine
