In 2016, tennis saw a rising star from Japan that was set to rule the WTA. It was a twenty-year-old teenager, Naomi Osaka. She was just 16 years old when she turned pro, and a couple of years later, she lifted her first WTA title at Indian Wells. In the same season, she won her first Grand Slam title at the 2018 US Open by defeating Serena Williams.
As the seasons passed, she kept winning games and several titles. So far, she has won seven WTA titles, which includes four Grand Slam tournaments. But in 2021, she decided to take some rest from the sport. Well, Japanese tennis star Naomi Osaka is set to return to the court in 2024. She will play at the 2024 Brisbane Open and is ready to add more titles to her cabinet. Before that, she shared a heartwarming message with all her tennis fans.
