Naomi Osaka, who is expecting her first child, recently shared videos of herself back on the practice court.
According to Tennis World USA, Osaka posted a video of her hitting the practicing court on Instagram. She also included a video of a beach workout, captioning the post, “Outside but barely.” The post is now deleted, and it is unclear why she removed it.
The four-time Grand Slam champion likely won’t be returning to competition this year but she has been keeping busy with other ventures like her media company Hana Kuma. She also recently launched a line with Victoria’s Secret.
The tennis star is also starting to prepare for motherhood. According to PEOPLE Magazine, Osaka knows the gender of her baby but can’t start projects like creating the nursery because her partner Cordae does not know the gender yet.
“I think what I’m looking forward to most is the challenges and just learning,” Osaka said in an interview with PEOPLE Magazine. “I think there’s going to be a lot of things that I don’t know, but I have a lot of really amazing people close to me that I can ask questions about. Just a new adventure.”
