Naomi Osaka will kick off the season as one of the major media attractions of the United Cup 2026 with high expectations for what this new year may hold for her. Questioned about how she balances motherhood with professional tennis, the Japanese player shared interesting insights.

"My mindset has evolved a lot since becoming a mother. I don't take things too personally anymore, and I don't evaluate myself based on wins or losses. I approach each tournament as a great opportunity to improve, knowing that my essential role in life is not just being a tennis player. I want to spend time with my daughter, which is not easy because I have to invest many hours training and taking care of myself to achieve great success. I only hope that someday she will understand what I'm doing," Osaka stated.

Twenty years after her retirement, Gabriela Sabatini explained the reasons that led her to make this decision when she was one of the best tennis players in the world, with 26 WTA titles, her greatest success being the 1990 US Open, when she was only 26 years old: "My mind couldn't handle it anymore. Physically, I was in great shape at 26. I had been processing it for a while. I think it started maybe in 1994, two years earlier. That's when I began working with a sports psychologist, whom I had worked with before to figure out what was happening to me. Because you feel like you're in a rut, thinking 'I don't want to play, I don't want to be here,' everything becomes indifferent, and I didn't feel motivated to be there," said the Argentine in an interview on Agustín Creevy's YouTube channel.

It will be interesting to see how she adapts to the change.

We all get a little sentimental on December 31st. It's said that the last day of the year is for reflection and, at the same time, for thinking about new purposes for the coming year... and all of that has been perfectly fulfilled by Iga Swiatek who wanted to share a beautiful message to recap her 2025 season. "This year I was healthy, happy, and surrounded by amazing people: it's hard to ask for more. I achieved dreams that, at times, seemed very distant. Moments and feats that I will never forget: I can say that winning Wimbledon has changed my already extraordinary life. I also learned very valuable lessons and experienced a couple of challenging moments, but that's life: we learn, we move on, we evolve. I feel the best is yet to come." A declaration of intent for a 2026 where she will aim to reclaim the WTA throne.
