Naomi Osaka will donate prize money from the Western & Southern Open for relief efforts in earthquake-hit Haiti
In this July 27, 2021 file photo, Naomi Osaka plays Marketa Vondrousova during the third round of the tennis competition at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.
When asked about Haiti during Monday's news conference, Osaka became emotional and had to step away for a few minutes before returning to answer more questions. Osaka, who is ranked Number 2 in the world, won her second career Australian Open earlier this year, but withdrew from the French Open and Wimbledon because of mental health concerns.“I was a little bit embarrassed to go out because I didn’t know if people were looking at me in a different way. The biggest eye-opener was going to the Olympics and having other athletes come up to me and say that they were really glad that I did what I did. I'm proud of what I did.
