He also went on to encourage Naomi Osaka to break more records as she goes through her career. He is completely on point when he classifies Naomi as a record-breaker. The latest example was seen just a few days back.

Osaka surpassed Serena Williams as the highest-paid female athlete of the last calendar year. Osaka earned $37.4 million in the last 12 months from prize money and endorsements, $1.4 million more than Williams. In doing so, Osaka set an all-time earnings record for a female athlete in a single year, surpassing Maria Sharapova, who previously held the record with $29.7 million in 2015.

Even if her records are still nowhere near the lightening fast athlete, she has broken some ground on her own. Naomi Osaka will certainly become one of the biggest names in tennis in the coming years winning more tournaments.
