Naomi Osaka has vowed to return to the tennis tour following the birth of her first child.
The four-time Grand Slam winner announced she is pregnant in January and is therefore missing the 2023 season.
In her social media post she said she'd be back for the Australian Open in 2024 and now she's reaffirmed her intentions to make a comeback.
'I definitely plan to come back... it's kind of like a break a little bit, but also I feel very competitive still,' she told WBS in Japan on Tuesday.
Osaka claimed her first Grand Slam at the US Open in 2018, before winning the showpiece Down Under a year later.
