Tennis star Naomi Osaka was very public about her mental health challenges throughout 2021 and has been open about her decisions to take time away from the court.
The 24-year-old wrote a lengthy Instagram caption on Saturday explaining that she has been reflecting on her 2021 Olympic experience and now “regrets” that she didn’t enjoy her time in Tokyo for the Summer Games.
The Japanese tennis player also mentioned how she wished she’d taken better advantage of that once in a lifetime experience.
“I realized that I had regrets about the whole experience, (not the torch lighting though that was [fire emoji] literally), there was a deep sense of sadness for not having more fun for the time I was there.
