MELBOURNE, Jan 21 — A philosophical Naomi Osaka said today she “is not God” and cannot always win after the defending champion was knocked out of the Australian Open in the third round by unseeded Amanda Anisimova.
Osaka was making her return to Grand Slam tennis after a long break following a tearful third-round exit at the US Open in September, the culmination of a difficult year where she was plagued by doubt and said she suffered depression. “I fought for every point, I can’t be sad about that,” the former world number one, who was seeded 13th, said.“So I just have to take that into account and know that it would be nice to win the tournament, that’s really special, and I can’t think of myself to try to win the Grand Slam at the start of the year every time.
Defeat to Anisimova deprived the 24-year-old of a shot at world number one Ashleigh Barty in the fourth round.
