Naomi Osaka conceded she found playing outside her comfort zone on clay frustrating as world number two continues her warm-up for the French Open at the WTA tournament in Rome.

Osaka has never won a tour-level event on the red dirt while at the French Open, which starts on May 30, she is yet to make it past the third round.The Japanese four-time Grand Slam champion was dumped out of the Madrid Open in the second round last week, having taken almost a month off following her quarter-final exit in Miami.

Osaka has played just two matches on clay since the 2019 French Open having skipped last year’s Grand Slam because of injury.“There are bad bounces and stuff. I get quite frustrated. So, yeah, mentally I think it’s a bit more taxing. “Right now, I’m taking everything as a learning process, and I’m trying not to be so hard on myself.”Osaka is in the same half of the draw as four-time Rome winner Serena Williams, who hasn’t played since losing to Osaka in the Australian Open semi-final and defending champion Simona Halep of Romania.
