Former world n ° 1 Naomi Osaka won her first title since he became a mother, beating Slovenia Kaja Juvan 6-1, 7-5 in the Open 35 final of Saint-Malo, a WTA 125 France event.

Osaka, quadruple Grand Chelem champion, returned to competitive tennis at the beginning of 2024 after giving birth to her daughter in July 2023.

“A little ironic to win my first trophy on the surface that I thought it was my worst,” wrote Osaka on X after her victory.

“This is one of my favorite things in life, there is always room to grow and evolve. Thank you to everyone who accompanies me in this trip, I know it’s turbulent, but it’s also really fun and I am grateful.”

This is the first clay title in Osaka’s career and occurs after the start of the promising year was derailed by injuries.

Osaka’s victory will also reject her in the top 50 of the world for the first time since her return to tennis.

Last year, the 27 -year -old player revealed that she was still adapting to tennis after the birth of her daughter, saying that she did not have “the impression of being in my body”.

Osaka has already taken prolonged breaks from tennis to prioritize its mental health.

The Japanese star should be competed in the Italian Open WTA 1000 which begins on Wednesday.
