Naomi Osaka is taking some time away from the court and focusing on her mental health and overall happiness. Suffering from bouts of depression and anxiety around the sport ever since claiming her maiden Grand Slam title back in 2018 against Serena Williams, she's decided to step away from the sport she cares deeply about.

“I think I'm going to take a break from playing for a while," Osaka said with tears in her eyes after falling to Leylah Fernandez at this year's US Open.

Since New York she seems to be enjoying time with her boyfriend and rapper Cordae, family and friends. With her 24th birthday on Saturday, she seems to be enjoying every last minute of being 23 years old. Most recently she took to Instagram to share a bite-sized look into her birthday vacation in Mykonos, Greece.

Casually sitting on a beautiful all-white yacht in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, Osaka seems to be at peace and it's great to see. Fellow WTA players Sloane Stephens and Kristie Ahn took to her Instagram comment section to show love and support.

"Live your life mama!!!!!!" Stephens wrote.

Other than cruising on yachts, the four-time major champion is also indulging in local foods, sightseeing and of course flexing on everyone with her style. In her most recent post she wears a full-length brown dress with coral flowers sprinkled over the beautiful piece, but her shoe game is what really propels the overall look. Wearing the black Louis Vuitton "Paseo Flat Comfort Sandal" makes the outfit an easy 10/10.

Wondering how much the designer flats will cost? Let's just say they are well over $1000 dollars. After her blockbuster 2020, Osaka joined the brand as an ambassador in January of this year.

Osaka hasn't confirmed when she will return to the court.
