Naomi Osaka after beating Coco Gauff at the U.S. Open
“I’m a little sensitive and I don’t want to cry but I had so much fun out here. I was in the stands 2 months after I gave birth to my daughter watching Coco.. I really wanted an opportunity to come out here and play. This is my favorite court in the world. It means so much to me to be back here. I wanna say a big thank you to my team. We’ve kinda been through a lot. It hasn’t always been easy. They’ve been by my side. Thank you guys. Love you.” 🥹
Pat Cash: “I was meant to play an exhibition match in Mallorca. 30 mins before, Becker says he can’t play. They tell me ‘you will play a 14 year-old’. I go on court, ready to give him a few games, so he won’t be upset.
I lose 2-0, and ask him for his name:
‘Rafael Nadal.’” 🐐
