"If I talk to Serena, and she talks to me, I will be surprised and can't talk anymore because I'm nervous," Osaka added.

"To say, 'hi, how are you?', I must try very hard to be brave, because for me it is very strange. He is a person I admire and inspire me to play tennis, and after the events at the US Open he is still so good to me, "Osaka added.

"It's strange, we compete with each other, we are very competitive, but then outside the field we have to see each other again every week," said Osaka.
