I’ve never told myself that I’ve done a good job but I do know I constantly tell myself that I suck or I could do better.

"I know I give my heart to everything I can and if that’s not good enough for some people then my apologies but I can’t burden myself with those expectations anymore. Seeing everything that’s going on in the world I feel like if I wake up in the morning that’s a win. That’s how I’m coming."
Osaka won the U.S. Open last year and in 2018.
