Naomi Osaka shocked the tennis world by parting ways with coach Sascha Bajin without any explanation earlier this month, just 16 days after her historic achievements of winning the Australian Open and reaching the No.1 ranking with Bajin’s help. Awaiting to kick off this week’s Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships campaign, the 21-year-old Japanese opened up about the split, which, as we supposed, happened because of personal reasons.
Osaka may still be young, but she’s not afraid to listen to her gut and make controversial decisions.
