Long Match

Hi there, Jun Tomioka here!

Now, French Open Tennis Tournament is being held in Paris.
I’m cheering for Mr. Kei Nishikori who is a Japanese No.1 player.

The day before yesterday, he competed with Mr.Khachanov from Russia.
Since it was a close game, it took a very long time to be settled.
They played for about 4 hours !

There is a 7-hour time difference between France and Japan.
I needed to stay late and watched TV to make sure
the game’s result.

Eventually, Kei won the game !
But I appreciate both of them.
Their play impressed me very much.

Anyway, I’m sleepy this week.

Mr.Inamori

Hi there, Jun Tomioka here!

Yesterday, I read a book written by Mr.Kazuo Inamori
who is a Japanese famous business person.
He is well known for being the founder of Kyosera Company
and KDDI Company which are now big companies in Japan.

He says, “Personality consists of character and philosophy.”
“Character is congenital. Philosophy is learnt in life.”
“What kind of philosophy do we need to have ?
It’s a simple thinking whether things are right for human.”
“If you have this philosophy, you will be successful about
your business and your life.”

His saying is very simple.
But we sometimes make mistakes because we have greed or we want
to hide our failures, and so on.

His book made me realize a very important thing.
I will try to make my effort to live honestly and properly.

Naomi 2

Hi there, Jun Tomioka here!

Naomi Osaka announced her withdrawal from the French Open
and explained about details of the reason why she decided to
skip a press conference after the games.

She confessed that she had suffered from depression since
the US Open in 2018. She is not good at taking interviews
and thought it was best for her to skip it.

I want to understand her situation and hope she will get
better and come back to the tournament soon.

Apart from that, I was shocked to see a lot of negative
comments to her by Japanese people through the internet.
Many people criticized her action with very harsh words
without their name signed.

I think this is a problem related the human rights.
I’m very sorry to know that many people don’t have a warm heart.

Naomi’s opinion

Hi there, Jun Tomioka here!

Naoki Osaka, a renowned Japanese tennis player announced
that she would not join press conferences after games
because some questions from media hurt her.

Yesterday, the French Open Tennis Tournament which is
one of the biggest tennis tournaments in the world,
started. Naomi played in the opening game and won.
Although she took an on court interview, she was absent
from a press conference as she mentioned.

The committee of the French Open decided to fine her
15,000 US dollars and noticed her that they might
banish her from the grand slam tournaments if she continue
this action.

She tweeted;
Anger is a lack of understanding.
Change makes people uncomfortable.

I respect her action.
Other athletes might have similar feelings but they
usually follow regulations.
I think she knew many people would be against her opinion.
But she did it.

Some people from media sometimes criticize celebrities
mercilessly. I think she wants to change the situation.

This issue became big. Many people are making a fuss.
Eventually, she announced she will withdraw from the French Open.


Anyway, I want Naomi to play tennis hard and give us
a deep impression. I hope she will come back soon.
