Reflecting on her heartbreak in Wimbledon, the Japanese said,

"I think in Paris, when I sat here [to speak to the media], I was very emotional. Now I don't feel anything. So I guess I'd prefer to feel nothing than everything.”

During her campaign in Wimbledon, Osaka showed glimpses of her former self, taking down Talia Gibson and Katerina Siniakova in her first two matches with ease. After her loss to Pavlyuchenkova, the 27-year-old shared that she felt she had the capacity to make a deep run at a Grand Slam but was heartbroken about her exit from England.

"Honestly, right now I'm just really upset. I'm just going to be a negative human being today. I'm so sorry. I have nothing positive to say about myself, which is something I'm working on. I feel like, while I still have the opportunity to try to [compete], I want to. Even though I get very upset when I lose, but I think that's my competitive nature.”

Over the course of her career, Naomi Osaka has consistently struggled at Wimbledon, failing to make it past the third round of the Major throughout the years.
