- Member of the crowd shouted: ‘Naomi, you suck,’ early in match
- Osaka lost 6-0, 6-4 to Veronika Kudermetova
Naomi Osaka was reduced to tears after being heckled during her second-round defeat to Veronika Kudermetova in Indian Wells.
The Japanese player, who missed parts of the 2021 season to look after her mental health, was jeered early in the match and it was undoubtedly a major factor as she lost 6-0, 6-4 to the world No 24.
