Everything went very fast, too fast maybe for Naomi Osaka. Her withdrawal from her 2nd round match at Roland-Garros in 2021 to avoid the press, takes nothing away from her level of play. On court, the Japanese is unstoppable thanks to powerful shots, that even make her idol, Serena Williams, jealous. It is at the age of 20 in 2018 at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells that Osaka put her name on the tennis map, capturing her very first title. Born of a Haitian father and a Japanese mother, Osaka confirmed a few months later when she lifted the US Open trophy. Cherry on top of the cake, it was versus Serena Williams, and a hostile crowd to whom she felt she needed to apologize for beating their favorite. Since she won the Australian Open in 2019, and became world number 1 as well. In 2020, she won the US Open, and followed up by Slam number 4 in Melbourne in 2021. So if she needs a little break, who’s going to blame her !
