After seeing the WTA1000 Miami winning odds list, hardland queen Naomi Osaka was removed from the biggest favorite list to win the championship, and really felt sorry for the 24-year-old Japanese girl. It is hard to believe that this new generation of hard-court queens has now fallen from the biggest favorite person to win the hard-court competition in the past to such a point that it seems to be about to fall from the women's tennis.
In 2018, when 21-year-old Naomi Osaka defeated Empress Serena Serena in the final of the US Open and lifted her first Grand Slam trophy, she thought of the comprehensiveness of her skills on the field, as well as her good physical fitness and the strength to destroy opponents, which made people see the shadow of Serena when she was young, thinking that she would become Serena's successor and rule the women's tennis world in the future.
Later, Naomi Osaka's performance did not disappoint, and between 2018 and 2021, she won four Grand Slam titles in one fell swoop, all of which were completed back-to-back at the US Open and Australian Open. Such a feat in today's women's tennis world is enough to rival the hard-court record of the beauty queen Serena Williams.
However, with the emotional problems of Naomi Osaka in the French Open in 2021, after finally voluntarily retiring from the competition, until now, Naomi Osaka has not performed well anymore.
At the Indian Wells Crown Tournament that just ended last week, Naomi Osaka suffered a malicious verbal attack from the fans on the spot, and finally lost the game in two sets and burst into tears, becoming one of the biggest storms in the Indian Wells women's stadium.
I have to say that from last year's French Open to now, public opinion has not been very friendly to this new generation of hard-ground queens.
The reason for this is really hard to say who is right and who is wrong. It can only be said that Naomi Osaka is still too young to handle some things on and off the field skillfully, which pushes herself into the whirlpool of public opinion.
Now some fans think that Naomi Osaka has changed, but it is because she has become a grand slam champion and has become arrogant, no longer the gentle and shy girl she used to be. It seems that after quickly becoming famous, she should enjoy some kind of privilege, and no matter how you look at it, she is more willful than before. Because when Naomi Osaka did not produce results, she was low-key to the extreme, there was no outrageous remark at all, and the change occurred just after she won her fourth Grand Slam title.
Just think, once the fans have identified you as arrogant, they will naturally not show mercy to your subordinates in terms of words, which almost any player has encountered.
It may be that Naomi Osaka is now facing emotional difficulties and has not yet handled the relationship with the fans, which will have an uncertain impact on her game status, and will be given a 1-16 winning odds for her in the Miami tournament, which is quite different from the 1-5 of winning Swatec.
This is tantamount to pronouncing a verdict that no one will be optimistic about Naomi Osaka's performance in Miami, and moving her out of the championship competition ahead of schedule.
Although the odds for winning the championship are only a prediction and cannot be the basis for judging the outcome of the game, the odds are based on the state of the players in the recent past, and there is still some scientific basis.
Of course, judging from her past achievements in hard courts, Naomi Osaka should not care too much about being looked down on in terms of odds.
As the second person in today's women's tennis world to dominate the hard ground after Empress Serena Williams, Naomi Osaka is the most dangerous opponent for any girl in the Miami tournament as long as she is in the signing table.
Maybe not being optimistic about winning the championship will make her less disturbed by some off-field factors, so that Naomi Osaka can put all her spirit in the game, and finally win the championship strongly and complete her self-salvation! After all, she has the strength to win the championship on the hard ground! (Source: Naomi Osaka Author: Starry Sky of the Moon River)
