The former world No 1 took more than a year out of the game as she became a mother for the first time last July before returning to action in January.

The four-time Grand Slam champion has struggled for consistency since her comeback, failing to progress past the second round of the French Open and Wimbledon after a first-round exit at the Australian Open.

Currently ranked 90th in the world, Osaka lost to American Ashlyn Krueger – world No 65 – in the final round of qualifying for the Cincinnati Open, prompting her heartfelt social media post on Tuesday.

“I’ve been trying to figure out how I feel for the past several hours,” Osaka said. “In a weird way I’ve come to appreciate losses, you don’t play tennis for 20+ years without your fair share of them.
