Naomi Osaka Details DHL Package Incident and Previews Washington Open Return

Four‑time Grand Slam champion and former world No. 1 Naomi Osaka shared on social media that staff at a DHL location treated her as if she were trying to steal a package. She said she had to request them to “please google me” to verify her identity, describing the moment as the first time she ever had to prove who she was to collect her own parcel.

Later, Osaka arrived in Washington, D.C. for the Mubadala Open. In interviews she reflected on the mental side of tennis, the confidence gained from reaching the Wimbledon quarterfinals, and her discomfort with the label “comeback.” She spoke about family, her signature outfits and her desire to push beyond the previous season’s achievements as she begins the tournament.
