'These people are here for you. You're amazing,' Osaka told Gauff before their viral post match joint interview.
"No, it's fine. I'm going to, like, cry in front of all these people," Gauff responded.Visibly emotional in the interview, both tennis players sang each other's praises to resounding applause from the 23,000 sports fans assembled at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City.
"She told me I did amazing and asked if I could do the on-court interview with her and I said no because I'm going to cry the whole time but she encouraged me to do it," Gauff said. "I mean, it was amazing. She did amazing and I'm going to learn a lot from this match. She's been so sweet to me so thank you for this," Gauff added, referring to Osaka.
"Once again thank you Naomi, I don't want people to think I'm trying to take this moment away from you because you really deserve it," Gauff concluded."I don't think I'm a mentor, I just want to say if you guys raised an amazing player. I used to see you guys training in the same place as us and for me the fact both of us made it and we're both still working as hard as we can, I think it's incredible," she said.
