In Reims, Osan won two matches, and in the quarterfinals it starred after the looked at the first set, the first sown Manon Leonard.
Dodden told about health problems, the decision to go to surgery, emotions after returning to the court and further plans:
– Osanan, from the tournament in the Lima in December last year you disappeared from view. What happened?
– All my same problems with the inner ear, through which I have dizziness. I tried to play in the hall at the end of 2024, because it was there that the symptoms were less pronounced and it is easier for me. But psychologically it was too difficult, and physically I still felt severe discomfort. So I decided to pause, try to deal with the problem and return in shape. The problem has not yet been solved, but slightly easier. I try to return carefully starting from the hall, so I chose the Reims Tournament.
– You have already talked about this problem before …
– Yes, I have been ten years old, and it is still not clear what to do with it. It is known that the problem in the inner ear, but how to solve it – there are no options.
– What did you do these 9 months?
These were real American slides. I started training again two months after I stopped playing – and did so three months. Then the summer came, and there were no improvements, and it affected the moral state. I stopped training again for 3-4 months. And for a month now, as I beat the ball in Cap-D’Agd.
– On Instagram you did not hide a rare solution for the athlete. Ready to talk about it openly?
– Are you about breasts, yes?
– Yes. Everyone remembers Simon Halep, who, on the contrary, reduced her breasts when she was junior. Have you been not afraid to take risks?
– Honestly, it was my first match with new breasts (interviews recorded after her victory in the first round in Reims), but nothing interferes with me, and that’s good …
It was a thing that I wanted to do for a long time. And I thought: once I had to be interrupted, and after surgery it takes about two months to recover, then this is the perfect time. When the season goes, you will not do it. So I decided: “Once I get out of the game for six months – I will do what I wanted for a long time.”
I preferred to do it now, not 40 years old, when my career was already behind. I am very pleased, I do not regret, and it does not interfere with it. Everyone told me, “You can no longer play!” – As if I put my watermelons (laughs). Yes, breasts are not small, but they do not interfere with me. There are special sports bras.
You mentioned Simon Halep – she had really very big breasts, and it hindered. And I probably have just the first to play with pectoral implants. Well, once someone should be the first.
RMC Sport. Osanan – Surgeon did not warn you about the possible consequences? Did he know that you were a professional athlete?
– Yes, he knows me well, he even came to me on Rolan Garros. He is my friend, so we discussed a lot in advance: where to put implants so that they do not interfere with how to choose the right support – bra and so on. Women’s things. Everything was thought out. I asked him and he said it would not interfere. If he said the opposite, perhaps I wouldn’t do … though who knows.
– You talk about it so natural …
– Well, I’m not bothering. I am here, to kyifera, to enjoy life. I am the “sprouting of the peeture” (natural as it is).
– Returning to your ear problem: you say that it is easier in the hall. So everything is much worse on the street?
– Yes, especially in the sun – it becomes almost impossible to play. I see three balls on the court, it’s very difficult. Why it is easier in the hall – I cannot explain, perhaps, because there is no sky above my head. My dizziness begins, a feeling of instability, as if my head is spinning. I think heat and sunlight worsen everything.
– How did you feel at the court after you return?
– OK. Physically, of course, it is difficult, especially because the level of the game is increasing. Until you play, other girls progress. But I love the sight tournaments, they are in a honey. I have fun again – this pre -match journey, the very expectation of the match, I sad. As for feelings on the court – everything is not bad.
I try to follow my game schemes. But physically, of course, it will be difficult – especially at the beginning, because I did not do so much physical training, I just just beat the ball. But everything is normal, I will not drive myself, though, of course, I would like to withstand at least a few matches in a row.
– Probably, after such a long absence, you can use the frozen rating?
– Yes, in my opinion, it is frozen at 110.
– That is, Australian Open is included in the plans?
– Yes, if I can play outdoors. I think everything will be fine by that time, and I will most likely play in the qualification of Australian Open. I hope at least. Time flies quickly, already October, so it is a very real goal.
– Naive question: how did you live without income for 9 months?
– for those funds that have earned earlier. It is difficult, but possible.
– That is, at the expense of the check with the Australian Open 2024 (the exit in the 1/8 finals then brought her about 230,000 euros – ed.)?
– Yes. I do not consider myself a millionaire, but due to the fact that she has postponed since my career, he managed to secure my life at this time.
