Two-time U.S. Open champion Naomi Osaka announced following her defeat at the tennis competition on Friday she plans to take a break from the sport. “This is very hard to articulate,” she said at a press briefing, resting her left cheek in her hand. “Basically, I feel like I’m kind of at this point where I’m trying to figure out what I want to do, and I honestly don’t know when I’m going to play my next tennis match.” “I think I’m going to take a break from playing for a while,” she added. Osaka lost,7–5,6–7 (2),4–6, in the third round at the U.S. Open Friday night at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Flushing, New York to 18-year-old Leylah Fernandez from Canada, who is ranked 73rd and never had been this far in Grand Slam competition. “I feel like for me, recently, when I win, I don’t feel happy, I feel more like a relief.
