Osaka has no plans to stay on the circuit for long: I'm not the type of player who would stick around.

Naomi Osaka kicks off her 2025 season on Monday in Auckland against Julia Glushko.

The four-time Grand Slam winner will be accompanied this year by Patrick Mouratoglou, to give herself the best chance of winning another major tournament.

In a press conference before the start of the tournament, the former world No.1 admitted that she had no intention of playing until an advanced age: "I'm not the type of player who would stick around.

I have a lot of respect for the players on the circuit, but at this stage of my life, if I'm not above a certain ranking, I can't see myself playing for much longer.

I'd rather spend time with my daughter if I don't think I'm where I should be. I think 2024 has taught me a lesson in humility, but I feel I've grown too.

I've worked a lot harder than I used to.

It was hard not to get the results I wanted, but I'm growing and learning and I'm very excited about 2025."
