Naomi Osaka

For me, grand slams are something you dream about playing as a kid.

I'm not really the type that spends money on myself.

I feel like I'm more comfortable talking to people. I've been put in the position where I have to, and it's not something I can avoid anymore.

I like sweating.

Honestly, I feel like people don't look at other people when they're walking around.

Of course I'm happy that I won a Grand Slam. I don't think there's anything that can take away from that.

Ever since I can remember, I played better against bigger players on bigger courts.

For me, I do better in Grand Slams. I like when there's more people watching.

I don't know if anybody knows this, but Serena's my favorite player. Just playing against her is kind of like a dream for me, so I'm very grateful that I was able to play her, and it's even better that I was able to win.

With some of the journalists, I've known them for years now, and I kind of consider them like my friends, so I always tend to joke around, and some people don't get it.

Japanese culture? I kind of love everything about it. I love the food. Everyone's really nice. There's just a lot about Japan that's really cool.

For me, it's, like, no secret that Serena is my favorite.
