Osaka was playing Veronika Kudermetova at the Indian Wells Masters in Indian Wells, California, when a woman yelled out, "Naomi, you suck!"Shortly after the heckler's comment, Osaka asked the umpire whether she could use the microphone to address the crowd.
The umpire denied her request, forcing Osaka to wait to make her comments until after the match, which she lost. Osaka went on to say getting heckled at Indian Wells, where she had watched videos of Venus and Serena Williams being heckled, "went into my head and got replayed a lot.""I just wanted to say 'thank you,' and 'congratulations,'" she said, gesturing toward Kudermetova.
