Naomi Osaka, in her upcoming biography, mentioned that she considered giving up tennis to find a more serene life while struggling with mental health problems.

The biography, written by tennis journalist Ben Rothenberg, titled 'Naomi Osaka: Her Journey to Finding Her Power and Her Voice,' tells the story of the 26-year-old’s incredible journey and will be out in January 2024.

The biography also delves into the mental health difficulties of the four-time Grand Slam champion. Osaka talks about her existential crisis during her Charleston run, which made her think about buying a farm and becoming a farmer to cut off from the tennis world.

"I just woke up one day in Charleston before one of my matches thinking what is the point of my life," Rothenberg quotes Osaka. "I was thinking, should I just go buy a farm and grow crops. And then I had to go play my match and I was thinking in my head – like, wow, I hope this girl beats me so I don't have to be here anymore."

Naomi Osaka will start her 2024 season at the Brisbane International, as her return date has been confirmed. The WTA 500 tournament will run from 31 December to 7 January.
