Naomi Osaka has addressed the controversy that erupted following her loss in the final of the Omnium Banque Nationale in Montreal, where she failed to congratulate 18-year-old Victoria Mboko during her on-court speech.
The four-time Grand Slam champion appeared visibly disheartened after Mboko staged an impressive comeback to defeat her 2-6 6-4 6-1 in front of a home crowd. Osaka kept her remarks brief and avoided any mention of the Canadian teenager’s milestone victory.
Naomi Osaka has a lot be proud of this week.
