Ace Conversations with Amanda Anisimova and Naomi Osaka
Amanda Anisimova: Hey Naomi! Long time no see, how’s everything going on your end? Catching any breaks between matches?
Naomi Osaka: Hey Amanda! It’s been a whirlwind, honestly. Lots of practice, but I did squeeze in some downtime here and there. How about you? I saw you absolutely bossing it on court recently!
Amanda Anisimova: Thanks, Naomi! Yeah, I’ve been really focused lately. I’ve been working on my backhand and trying to perfect my serve. But let’s talk about something more fun – have you discovered any cool hobbies outside of tennis lately?
Naomi Osaka: Oh, you bet! I’ve been really getting into photography. It’s nice to see the world through a different lens, you know? Plus, it’s super relaxing. What about you, Amanda? Any hidden talents we should know about?
Amanda Anisimova: Photography sounds amazing! As for me, I’ve been dabbling in painting. It’s been great for clearing my mind after a tough match. I call it “abstract de-stressing” (laughs).
Naomi Osaka: That sounds therapeutic! We should totally do a creative collab someday – your paintings and my photos. We could even auction them for charity!
Amanda Anisimova: I love that idea! Let’s make it happen. Speaking of philanthropy, I heard you’re involved in some great initiatives. Anything new on that front?
Naomi Osaka: Absolutely, I’m passionate about using my platform for good. Recently, I’ve been focusing on mental health awareness – it’s something we both know is super important, especially in our line of work. How about you, Amanda? What causes are close to your heart?
Amanda Anisimova: Mental health is huge for me too. I’ve also been supporting youth sports programs. I think it’s crucial to give young kids the resources and encouragement to pursue their dreams, whether in tennis or any other field.
Naomi Osaka: That’s awesome, Amanda. Empowering the next generation is so important. We should team up for a youth sports event someday – create a fun space for kids to explore different sports and maybe even discover tennis!
Amanda Anisimova: That sounds fantastic! Let’s definitely plan something. Thanks for the chat, Naomi. We should catch up more often!
Naomi Osaka: For sure, Amanda. Always a pleasure talking with you. Let’s crush it on and off the court!
