Osaka has won 1 of her last 6 matches and is currently ranked 47th in the world. She apparently doesn't want to put in the work to continue playing at an elite level so she will fade away from the tour. She could have been the next tour star but for several reasons she didn't last very long. She only won 7 tournaments during her career.

Yes, absolutely. Unless it’s a scandal in Japan.
Remember when the women’s nordic jumping was trying to get into the Olympics? Maybe it was 2014 to 2018. The US women were pretty bocal and got a bunch of press. There was a short documentary made. The “leader of this was that just by the momentum of the moment/press. Well, she didn’t want to be. She was in tears in the doc saying how she didn’t want to be the leader, and never asked to be. So she kind of disappeared from the press as I remember.

^ Yeah, that was bad.
You win, the crowd is kind of against you, and your opponent, the best ever, is nuts.
Trying to think of a men’s equivalent, it would be like a very young Agassi beating Jimmy Connors in the 1986 finals of the US Open. And Connors is smashing rackets and cursing you out.

The Story of a Polish Introvert | By Iga Swiatek
Nothing can prepare you for winning your first Grand Slam.
i love her
McDonald v Nadal playing now.... I might be soon wrong.
Nadal out. Looked ... old ... walking off
That's kinda what gets you in the end often. You just become susceptible to injuries more. Just can't stay healthy.
I ike very much that tournament that is now on....what do they call it...The Tour Down Under yes?
The US men are faring well. Brooksby's upset of #2 Rudd is getting lots of (re)play time. McDonald was playing really well before Nadal was injured.
Also, it good to see Andy Murray looking closer to his old self.

I mean, maybe Ruud shouldn't have spent the last 2 months on an exo tour instead of ...resting and training. Not surprised this is how his GS season started.
Anytime Murray wins multiple rounds in a slam, it should be celebrated. He has a metal hip!
US Men are doing well, even if Fritz, the supposed US 1, laid a real egg going out in R2.
Well, the upsets just keep coming in the first three rounds at the AO.
On the men's side, Nadal falls due to injury to McDonald who then falls in the next round to his own injury. Korda makes it deep. Paul is still in it. Current guess now, Tsitsipas v Djokovic final, with Djokovic winning.
On the women's side, I'm thinking Pegula v Rybakana semi's against Garcia in the Final.
Wildcard is Ostapenko.

I think it's pretty clear he has an issue
will it keep him from winning, or will it just be like the "ab injury" from a couple years ago?
He's hitting and moving pretty well....
Statement win from Djok last night.
I don't see anyone giving him any issues en route to #22 (AO#10) unless he struggles physically.
