VIDEO: Naomi Osaka’s ‘worst acceptance speech of all time’
Naomi Osaka won her first WTA title on Sunday and her acceptance speech was a bit of a struggle.
The 20-year-old beat Daria Kasatkina 6-3, 6-2 to lift the Indian Wells Masters.
And as per tradition both the runner-up and winner have to give a speech after the match, but for Osaka it was new territory as it was the first time she had won a WTA singles trophy during her professional career.
“This is probably going to be the worst acceptance speech of all time” – @BNPPARIBASOPEN champion @Naomi_Osaka_

We are sure she will get better with practice as there is no doubt she will deliver plenty of acceptance speeches during her career.
