Jimmy Connors explains what Naomi Osaka has recently done which he finds very ‘hard to understand’

Jimmy Connors is struggling to wrap his head around Naomi Osaka retiring from the ASB Classic final.

The four-time Grand Slam champion reached her first WTA Tour final since 2022 when she took on Clara Tauson in New Zealand.

The Dane claimed some impressive wins, knocking out the likes of American duo of Madison Keys and Sofia Kenin on her journey to the championship match.

But after losing the first set Tauson ended up with the ASB Classic trophy in her grasp, without needing to come from behind to win.
