"I heard about it after I pulled out from French Open" - Naomi Osaka addresses mental health struggles

Naomi Osaka has publicly addressed her mental health struggles on numerous occasions

Naomi Osaka recently opened up about her mental health struggles after she pulled out of the 2021 French Open.

In an episode of the Mountaintop Conversations podcast, the four-time Grand Slam champion stated that she didn't know about the concept of mental health until that moment.

"I actually didn't know what mental health was. Growing up, no one was really talking about it. I think honestly the first time I heard about it was after I pulled out from the French Open. It's not like I had a dark childhood or anything, it's just that everything was so focussed on tennis," she disclosed.
