While Naomi Osaka is making headlines for her phenomenal performance at the US Open, it’s her new on-court philosophy that is truly winning hearts. She told journalists her main goal is "just smiling and having fun," a mindset she embraced before her commanding victory over reigning French Open champion Coco Gauff.
However, in a post-match press conference, Osaka made a different kind of statement without uttering a single word. She calmly reached over, picked up a bottle of Evian water one of the tournament's primary sponsors and moved it completely out of view before answering a question. The reason remains unclear, but the gesture mirrored Cristiano Ronaldo’s famous snub of Coca-Cola at Euro 2020, which sent the company’s share price plummeting.
While it is unknown if Osaka will face repercussions for the silent move, her focus seems fixed on her quarter-final match against Karolina Muchova. The 27-year-old is proving that while she’s finding more joy in the game, she’s not afraid to make a statement, both on and off the court.
