Naomi Osaka issued a statement to clean up her post-match interview after losing to Victoria Mboko in the National Bank Open final.

Osaka has made progress since returning in last year's Australian Open. She won two matches in both the Australian Open and Wimbledon this year, has earned $725,727 in prize money and reached the No. 49 spot in the WTA rankings, with a higher ranking likely on the way by making the final.
