Four-time major champion Naomi Osaka says she is "learning a lot of lessons" from being a mum and hopes these skills can lead to French Open success.
The 26-year-old Japanese player has been reunited with her 10-month-old daughter Shai in Paris after spending five weeks apart during the European clay-court swing.
Osaka agreed when asked if being a good clay-court player required similar skills - patience, resilience and adaptability - to being a mother.
"That's a funny question, but I do think mums do have to be all of those things," said the former world number one.
