Naomi Osaka: Kei Nishikori is a very mysterious person
Kei Nishikori and Naomi Osaka played doubles together in an exhibition on Saturday in Japan. Osaka shared an interesting opinion: 'I feel like Kei is a very mysterious person, I've never heard anyone say anything bad about him even like fellow players,' the 2018 US Open champion said.
Osaka also thanked all her fans for the support that they are sending her: 'I want to say that I'm grateful that you guys are watching. Yeah, I'm grateful that you guys are watching. Thank you for all the support.'
Osaka achieved a career-high ranking at no. 4 this year. Commenting on her great achievement, she said: 'Actually I was talking to Kimiko (Date Krumm) in the French Open. I think that was right after I won Indian Wells. We were talking about how my ranking was high, that she had the highest ranking, which was 4. I was like, Oh, it would be nice to get there. But I wasn't really thinking too much that I would do it this year. I think it's really cool. I shouldn't say 'cool'. I think it's really amazing that I was able to do it. Of course, I want to keep going. But for me, ranking right now isn't really a priority. It's more, like, winning this tournament right now I think is my main goal.'
