Osaka is looking forward to the Madrid open after spending a pain free week training at Rafael Nadal's academy.
MADRID: After a week of training on the clay courts of the Rafa Nadal Academy in Mallorca, Naomi Osaka feels she’s rediscovered the form that had been missing since her Australian Open triumph in January.
“I haven’t served up until today and basically I was just resting it,” Osaka told reporters in the Spanish capital on Friday. She hired Jermaine Jenkins as her coach ahead of Indian Wells, and says she feels like Stuttgart has got her back on track.“I played two really hard matches and I think that I just was able to turn a switch on that I haven’t been able to since the Australian .
“So then when I played Donna … I just remember telling myself that I don’t have to hit a winner for it to be a good point and I don’t have to play perfectly to win, so I think I was able to do that.
