Back in January, tennis star Naomi Osaka announced she was pregnant with her first child.
Along with a picture of a sonogram, the 25-year-old shared a beautiful message. "I realize that life is so short, and I don't take any moments for granted, every day is a new blessing and adventure," she wrote. "I know that I have so much to look forward to in the future, one thing I'm looking forward to is for my kid to watch one of my matches and tell someone, 'That's my mom.'"

Though many people were thrilled for her, haters gonna hate. Since her announcement, sexist internet trolls have continually questioned her dedication to the sport, and it seems like Naomi has had enough, y'all!
In a recent tweet, the four-time Grand Slam champion told the people who are "suddenly concerned" over her career that "there are plenty of male athletes with kids that are significantly less accomplished." She added, "You might wanna worry about them instead."
"Thanks for the concern, might wanna redirect it to someone that needs it though."
Btw to the people that are suddenly concerned about my career- There are plenty of male athletes with kids that are significantly less accomplished, you might wanna worry about them instead. Thanks for the concern, might wanna redirect it to someone that needs it though 😬.
