Tikteknu: today's summary clip in sports, 11.1 (Sport1)
Naomi Osaka caused concern among tennis fans after she disappeared from the radar in recent months, did not contact the organizers of the Australian Championships and eventually announced her retirement from the tournament.
The headlines around the world expressed "concern for her condition" and worried that she would no longer return to the courts, since she previously admitted that she suffered from mental problems.
However, today (Wednesday) she announced that she is pregnant, with an optimistic text in which she promises to return to the courts at the beginning of 2024. The
Japanese, who has not played since September, uploaded a photo of an ultrasound photo with the fetus in her belly, and wrote: "The last few years have been interesting, to say the least , but I've found that the most challenging times in life can be the most enjoyable. The past few months away from the game have given me a new love and a new appreciation for the game I've dedicated my life to.
"I understand that life is too short, and I don't take any moment for granted, every day is a blessing and a new adventure. I know that I have a lot to look forward to in the future, and one of the things I look forward to is that my child will look at me playing, and say to someone, 'That's my mom ', ha ha. 2023 will be a year full of life lessons for me, and I look forward to seeing you at the beginning of next year, because I will be at the Australian Championships in 2024. Love you.
"PS: I don't think there is a perfect right path in life, but I always felt that if I go Go ahead with good intentions, I will find the way in the end."
Good news.

Osaka's announcement comes a few days after the world media announced that she had "disappeared".
It was reported in CNN that the heads of the Australian Championship are concerned because the actress has not contacted them and does not respond to their inquiries, and expressed "concern" about her situation following the unusual and unprofessional behavior.
The Japanese has already expressed many times throughout her career how much she finds it difficult to deal with the pressures of the industry, and at Roland Garros 2021 she even withdrew from the tournament after she asked not to attend press conferences and talk to the media.
She has also been inactive on Instagram for some time and disappeared from the radar, but recently uploaded several photos from her trip with her singer partner Corday, with whom she toured Europe in October.
The Japanese has won only one match since last May, and in her three previous tournaments she lost in the first round.
Now she hopes and believes that she is embarking on a new path.
