During a US Open press conference earlier this month, Osaka shared her thoughts on her current season successes and her goal for the upcoming Asian swing.

"I've never played a tournament and thought that I would lose in the first round, you know, like if I enter a tournament, I want to win. So, I would say like getting far in the US Open was definitely a confidence booster. Doing well in Montreal was a confidence booster, but the season's not done yet," she shared (4:33 onwards)

She continued:

"I honestly got a little farther than I thought I would. I just wanted to be seeded in slams, but now I don't know what ranking I'm at, but I think I'm kind of getting up there. So, doing well in the Asian swing and then closing off the rest of the year is my goal."

Throughout her notable career, Osaka has won seven WTA singles titles, including two Australian Open titles and two US Open titles.
