Naomi Osaka Breaks Silence On 'Anxiety' After Revealing Tennis Hiatus Wish
Naomi Osaka is opening up after a rough stretch both on and off the court. Following her early exit from the French Open, the tennis star posted a photo showing painful hand blisters and hinted at taking a break from the sport entirely. Advertisement This all comes just months after Naomi Osaka confirmed her breakup with rapper Cordae, her partner since 2019, and the father of their daughter, Shai, born in July 2023. Naomi Osaka Says Anxiety Will Not Let Her Miss A Workout Europa Press / MEGA Osaka did not hold back this week, giving fans a raw look at the toll tennis is taking on her, physically and mentally. The tennis pro posted a photo of her beat-up hands-on Thursday, revealing painful blisters and scabs on her knuckles. In her Instagram Story, she added a caption that read, "I genuinely cannot bend these fingers all the way. Lol." TMZ noted the injuries have been bothering her since the Italian Open, thanks to the wear and tear of clay courts. Advertisement Later that day, she shared another image showing herself back on a court despite saying she wanted time off. "Me: I'm sick of this. I'm gonna take a break for a while," she wrote above the photo, before joking, "Me a day after my match because I have anxiety if I don't work out." Osaka's honest posts come just days after her first-round exit from the French Open. The Japanese Tennis Player Fears She Will Be Fined For Cursing In A Press Conference Instagram Stories | Naomi Osaka Osaka had a rough exit from the French Open and an even tougher time coping with it afterward, emotionally breaking down and worrying she would be fined after dropping an F-bomb in her post-match interview. Advertisement She broke down in tears after losing to Paula Badosa in the first round. Osaka had taken an early lead but could not hold on, ultimately falling 6-7 (1-7), 6-1, 6-4. Her frustration boiled over during her post-match press conference, where she admitted she was afraid of letting down those around her, especially her coach, Patrick Mouratoglou. The Blast reported that Osaka openly questioned her own performance compared to the high standards of her coach, saying, "He goes from working with, like, the greatest player ever to, like, What the f-ck this is? You know what I mean?" She quickly apologized for the language, adding, "I hope I don't get fined." The Four-Time Grand Slam Champion Confirmed Breakup With Cordae MEGA Osaka appeared to be going through some challenges before arriving at the Open, especially after announcing her split from longtime boyfriend Cordae earlier this year. Advertisement She shared the news with her followers in a now-expired Instagram Story. The message read, "Hi everyone, just wanted to say that Cordae and I are no longer in a relationship." The Blast noted that she made sure to shut down any speculation of drama, writing: "No bad blood at all, he's a great person and an awesome dad. Honestly, really glad our paths crossed because my daughter is my biggest blessing, and I was able to grow a lot from our experiences together." The breakup must have come as a surprise, especially after the two were spotted leaving Jamie Foxx's birthday party a month before looking happy and close. At the time, Osaka wore a red mini dress under a jacket, while Cordae kept things casual in all black. The 27-Year-Old Hints At Uncertainty Over Having More Kids After Tough First Birth Europa Press / MEGA The mother-of-one quietly addressed rumors about expecting a second child before confirming her split from Cordae. The Blast shared that a fan had congratulated Osaka on a supposed pregnancy, wishing her many more children. Advertisement However, she responded with a calm but clear message: she was not pregnant, and if she were, she would not want multiple children due to the trauma she experienced giving birth. In her words: "I just wanna say, I'm not preggos, but if I was, I wouldn't want many more. Because giving birth was traumatic. But thank you, though, for your blessings." Lying in bed during the video, Osaka's honest reply won praise from fans and other mothers who understood her struggles with childbirth. Naomi Osaka Showed Off Intense Training Routine After Giving Birth / MEGA Just a month after welcoming her baby girl in July 2023, Osaka was already back at it. The news outlet noted that, despite labeling childbirth "traumatic," the star athlete wasted no time getting back into shape, posting a series of Instagram photos and videos of her rigorous workouts. Advertisement In one striking image, Osaka showcased her athletic physique, clearly far removed from her postpartum days, wearing a sporty outfit that accentuated her flat stomach. But her comeback was not easy. A video showed her struggling to lift a heavy fitness tank with her trainer standing on it, followed by clips of her sprinting downhill, playfully telling her coach she hated him while catching her breath. Whether or not she takes a full break, Naomi Osaka's message is clear: she is willing to push through pain, both physical and emotional.

Women and girls die in Canary Islands port after migrant boat capsizes
Four women and three girls drowned in the chaotic scene in El Hierro's port while survivors clung to ropes and life preservers tossed to them by rescuers. Spain's maritime rescue service, which located the boat some six miles from shore, said the boat keeled over as rescuers started removing children on to a rescue craft that was positioned between the migrant boat and the quay. The movement of people on the boat caused it to tip and then turn over, throwing the occupants into the water. Migrants were helped to safety (Europa Press via AP) Emergency services for the Canary Islands said four women, a teenage girl and two younger girls died in the accident. One of the girls was found by a rescue diver. 'The drama witnessed on El Hierro should move us all, (those) lives were lost in an attempt to find a better future,' Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Twitter. A helicopter evacuated two more children, a girl and a boy, to a local hospital in a serious condition after they nearly drowned, the service added. Local media reports said the small boat appeared to be packed with over 100 people. Spanish rescuers and members of the Red Cross pulled people out of the water. Fernando Clavijo, regional president for the Canary Islands, said that there were people trapped inside a part of the boat who 'wouldn't get out'. The Spanish archipelago located off Africa's western coast has for years been a main route for migrants who risk their lives in dinghies and rubber boats unfit for long journeys in the open sea. Thousands have been known to die on the way to European territory. Nearly 47,000 people who made the crossing last year reached the archipelago, surpassing previous records for a second time. Most were citizens of Mali, Senegal and Morocco, with many boarding boats to Spain from the coast of Mauritania. The arrivals include thousands of unaccompanied children. Some 10,800 people had arrived via the Atlantic to the Canary Islands by mid-May, which was down by 34% compared to the same period in 2024.

Tragedy struck a boatload of migrants trying to reach Europe from Africa at the very end of their journey when their boat capsized within reach of the shore of the Canary Islands.
