‘Insulting’: Martina Navratilova criticises Naomi Osaka’s AO performance after giving birth

Small Business Women Australia Chief Executive Amanda Rose says tennis legend Martina Navratilova's criticism of Naomi Osaka for her first-round loss at the Australian Open is “quite insulting”. Ms Osaka has admitted she needs to set realistic goals as she continues her return to the sport after giving birth to a baby girl six months ago. “The fact that she’s playing after having a baby six months ago is phenomenal,” Ms Rose told Sky News contributor Steve Price. “Now the issue I find wasn’t that she was talking about fitness … it was that she actually compared her to another lady who had a baby six months prior. “The second you start comparing people, then we’re getting into very murky waters … to point that out is quite insulting.”
