Kei Nishikori Discusses Life On and Off the Court with Naomi Osaka
Naomi Osaka: Kei! It’s so good to finally catch up. How have you been? I heard you’ve been hitting the courts hard lately.
Kei Nishikori: Hey Naomi! I’m doing well, thank you. Yeah, it’s been a grind getting back into peak form. But you know how it is, the love for the game keeps me going. How about you? What’s been keeping you busy?
Naomi Osaka: A bit of everything, honestly. Between training, tournaments, and my off-court projects, it’s been a whirlwind. I’ve been super into my advocacy work lately. It feels good to use my platform for something meaningful.
Kei Nishikori: That’s amazing. I’ve seen all the great work you’re doing. It’s inspiring how you’re balancing it all. Speaking of balance, how do you manage to stay sane with such a packed schedule?
Naomi Osaka: Haha, sanity is a relative term! But seriously, I make sure to carve out time for myself. Whether it’s listening to music, indulging in some anime, or just hanging out with friends and family, those moments keep me grounded. What about you?
Kei Nishikori: Pretty much the same. I love my downtime, especially when I can indulge in some video games or cook a nice meal. And, of course, catching up with family. It’s all about those little moments, right?
Naomi Osaka: Absolutely. By the way, what’s your favorite video game these days? I know you were big on Fortnite for a while.
Kei Nishikori: Oh, I still play Fortnite occasionally, but I’ve also gotten into some old-school classics lately. It’s like a nostalgia trip. How about you? Any game recommendations?
Naomi Osaka: Oh, for sure! I’ve been obsessed with Animal Crossing. It’s such a relaxing escape from the chaos of the real world. Maybe we should play together sometime. Build an island paradise?
Kei Nishikori: Sounds perfect! Count me in. And speaking of escapes, have you taken any interesting trips recently or planning something soon?
Naomi Osaka: I went to Hawaii a while back, and it was just what I needed. The beaches, the landscapes, the food—everything was perfect. I’m thinking of a trip to Japan soon. It’s been too long, and I miss the food. Sushi, ramen… my mouth is watering just thinking about it!
Kei Nishikori: Japan is always a good idea! The food, the culture—there’s nothing like it. We should plan something together. Maybe a culinary tour or even a friendly tennis exhibition match for the fans back home. What do you say?
Naomi Osaka: That sounds fantastic, Kei! Let’s definitely make it happen. Thanks for the catch-up. It’s always a pleasure. Let’s keep pushing the limits both on and off the court!
