  • Naomi Osaka tidak melihat dirinya sebagai petenis tunggal putri top dunia.
  • Petenis asal Jepang ini belum terbiasa dengan status pemain elite.
  • Ia akan memulai perjuangan mempertahankan gelar Australia Open melawan Marie Bouzkova di babak pertama, Senin (20/1/2020).

SKOR.id – Naomi Osaka merasa dirinya belum termasuk petenis tunggal putri top dunia meski akan tampil sebagai juara bertahan di Australia Open 2020 yang mulai digelar pada Senin (20/1/2020).

Atlet 22 tahun ini harus berjuang kembali mempertahankan trofi di Melbourne Park sekaligus meraih gelar Grand Slam ketiganya. Sebelum Australia Open 2019, Osaka sukses menjuarai US Open 2018.

“Sebenarnya lucu mendengar kalian (jurnalis) terus mengatakan saya termasuk dalam pemain top saat ini. Padahal saya benar-benar tidak pernah melihatnya seperti itu,” kata Osaka saat jumpa pers.

Petenis berdarah Jepang dan Haiti ini mungkin belum terbiasa dengan status pemain elite. Namun faktanya, Naomi Osaka telah berada di level tersebut.

Ia mulai mencuri perhatian sejak berhasil menjuarai BNP Paribas Open Indian Wells 2018. Dalam perjalanannya dalam ajang tersebut, Osaka mengalahkan Simona Halep di semifinal, 6-3, 6-0.

Namanya semakin diperhitungkan setelah sukses mengalahkan pemegang 23 gelar Grand Slam, Serena Williams, dalam laga final US Open 2018. Naomi Osaka menang 6-2, 6-4.

Pencapaian tersebut membuat Osaka melesat masuk jajaran peringkat lima besar WTA setelah sebelumnya berada di posisi ke-72 pada Januari tahun itu.

“Sungguh aneh, saya masih merasa Indian Wells seperti baru terjadi dua pekan lalu,” ujar Naomi Osaka seraya tersenyum.

Namun usai mengalahkan Petra Kvitova, 7-6(2), 5-7, 6-4, di final Australia Open tahun lalu, ia kesulitan menjaga performa. Karena Osaka berjuang keras menghadapi ekspektasi publik sepanjang 2019.  

Itu menjadi pelajaran berharga baginya. Petenis kelahiran 16 Oktober 1997 tersebut tidak ingin lagi merasa terbebani terutama dengan hal-hal eksternal.

“Saya lebih santai sekarang. Saya telah belajar mengatasi rasa gugup, tekanan, serta ekspektasi,” tutur Naomi Osaka. “Kini saya bisa lebih siap dan fokus menghadapi turnamen (Australia Open).”

Osaka, yang menjadi unggulan ketiga, akan memulai perjuangannya mempertahankan gelar dengan menghadapi petenis Republik Ceko, Marie Bouzkova di Rod Laver Arena, Senin (20/1) besok.
