Thank you for all Naomi, I would like to be like you in the future and I will make you proud of me. I hope we will see you soon. Thank you for all and good luck for the next Grand Slam," the little girl said in the video. Her father also weighed in on the matter and said: "Hi Naomi, it's Uma's dad. Just want to say thank you for the great opportunity that you gave to Uma. It's just amazing." In light of this, Naomi Osaka took to Twitter to express her admiration for the young girl's message.
