La défaite a été nette, mais Naomi Osaka a rapidement replacé son élimination de l'US Open 2026 dans une perspective bien plus large. Lundi, la Japonaise a été dominée 6-1, 6-4 en seulement 66 minutes par Elena Rybakina en huitièmes de finale. Un résultat forcément décevant pour la double championne de Flushing Meadows, mais qui n'a provoqué chez elle ni discours alarmiste ni sentiment d'urgence. À 28 ans, Naomi Osaka possède déjà quatre Majeurs : l'US Open 2018 et 2020 ainsi que l'Open d'Australie 2019 et 2021. Pourtant, l'ancienne n°1 mondiale ne considère plus qu'un cinquième trophée aurait l'impact que pouvaient avoir ses premiers triomphes.

00:02Just on that, I think in the first set you hit three double fours in the game, the first game
00:07you lost your serve and then two in the game you lost your serve and set two.
00:11Was the Achilles affecting the way you were pushing off on your serve?
00:16Yeah, yeah, like I can't really push off like I want and like when I land it hurts a little.
00:22So I was trying to figure out ways to, I guess, minimize it and I thought like if I served
00:28a little slower, like the impact when I land would be less.
00:34And I think it worked for a little bit, but obviously she broke me in the second set, so.
00:41How do you think about managing this injury going forward?
00:44Like what do you know about it?
00:45I know these can be risky injuries to push too hard on and have some bad results.
00:49So just how do you make caution with trying to keep playing?
00:54Yeah, I mean, when was my last match?
00:57Well, yesterday I got an ultrasound and then I got an ultrasound again just now.
01:02And I'm probably going to go get an MRI because I honestly, I don't really know too much about what's
01:09going on.
01:10And I think managing it, like thankfully we're at the end of the year.
01:15So after the Asian swing, we do get like two weeks off.
01:21So, yeah, I'm just going to, I would say, make do with what the time that I have and try
01:28to be smart about the amount of matches I play.
01:32Maybe if you win another major, which I think a lot of people think you can,
01:36you've set a record for the longest ever gap between major titles at this point.
01:40Like, does it feel like, does it feel like it's that long or what do you think about that possibility?
01:46Someone asked me this question the other day.
01:49And I said, like, it feels long and short because my break time, I had a kid, you know.
01:57So, like, I'm, there's a lot that happened in that time.
02:01And I think also, like, if I reflect on my career and the things that I've been able to do,
02:07like, there's nothing that I regret or there's nothing that I'm sad about.
02:11And also, like, I thought about it.
02:14And if I win another Grand Slam, it's not going to change my life.
02:18And that's kind of crazy that I can say that because I remember the first slam that I won.
02:23And it was, like, a huge whirlwind.
02:25But, yeah, I think it wouldn't feel as long.
02:32Best question in English.
02:33Tamai.
02:34You said that you're not as sad.
02:36I'm curious, how do you feel about your feelings?
02:38Like, are you surprised that you're not as sad as maybe in previous years?
02:42Are you happy that you're taking losses differently?
02:45I think I am happy that I'm taking losses differently.
02:49I'm trying to learn from them a lot more.
02:51I think, honestly, like, today, if I was to say I'm sad, I was just sad that I couldn't, like,
02:58push off of my foot.
03:00Like, I'm sad that I couldn't do what I've set out to do.
03:03But, yeah, like, for me, if I think about my life, my daughter's healthy, you know.
03:11Everyone in my family is great.
03:13I had an opportunity to play this slam.
03:16I got as far as I could.
03:17So...
03:19So...
03:19So...
03:20So...
