Can she act like an adult for five minutes?"—Querrey's criticism of Osaka's attitude in the Montreal final
Last week, Naomi Osaka lost in the final of the WTA 1000 in Montreal against Victoria Mboko.
Disappointed with the result, the Japanese player gave a very brief speech, unintentionally forgetting to congratulate her opponent. She later apologized on her social media.
In the latest episode of the *Nothing Major* podcast, Sam Querrey didn’t hold back when discussing Osaka:
"Can Osaka act like an adult for five minutes? Give a nice speech, pretend for a minute, and then head to the locker room. It drives me crazy. [...] She’s also going to make a lot of money—you can’t ignore that. Give a decent speech and congratulate your opponent.
