Naomi’s 2021 year
The Japanese star had a mixed 2021 year. She tasted victory at the inaugural grand slam tournament of the year, the Australian Open. But since then she has not been able to make a major impact at the tournament. She was shown his way out of the Olympics at an early stage. The same was the case in the US Open. As a result, she decided to opt out of the Indian Wells saying that she was not in the right state of mind to compete.
It will be interesting to see if the player will make a comeback and defend the Australian Open. The talent she possesses has the potential to make her the best player in the coming future.
