WATCH: Osaka talks favorite foods, films, more in quiz
In each of her Grand Slam title runs, Naomi Osaka showed that she's beyond capable of performing under pressure. In a quiz about herself, though, she was quicker to get frazzled.
"I can’t handle stress that well," she'd write afterward along with a skull emoji. (Of course, she was selling herself short.)
Osaka took a Quickfire Quiz for the Australian Open's Instagram page, in which she answered questions on all kinds of topics, such as:
A player she'd trade places with for a day: Gael Monfils
The funniest tennis player: Chris Eubanks ****
Three things you'd find in her fridge: Coconut milk, yogurt and strawberries
Her favorite cold beverage: Green tea
Her favorite hot beverage: Also green tea
And her favorite film: Spirited Away
Osaka, seeded No. 2 at the Gippsland Trophy Australian Open lead-up event, opened her tournament with a 6-2, 6-2 win over Alize Cornet. It marked her first WTA match since winning the US Open.
