Naomi Osaka Says On-Court Remarks Were ‘Disrespectful’ After Sorana Cirstea Moment

Osaka apologized after her tense handshake with Cirstea, saying the “first couple things” during her on-court interview were disrespectful. “That’s not what I do,” she said in the post-match press conference, adding she was “a little confused” and her pump-ups were “purely for me.” Osaka said she hasn’t seen Cirstea yet and wished she’d “done a lot better” in hindsight.
