U.S. Open champion Naomi Osaka said Saturday that her approach ahead of the Australian Open is to not worry about winning it all.

In a press conference in which she touched on her maturity and the discomfort she sometimes feels talking with others, the 21-year-old revealed she had blown up in her Brisbane International semifinal by getting too far ahead of herself.

"When I was in Brisbane, I just thought about winning just the tournament, not focusing on every match," Osaka said.
