The Japanese professional Naomi Osaka is one of the key figures in women’s tennis today. Etching her name over 3 Grand Slam trophies, the 23 years-old is currently at the Number 3 position in the world. However, the US Open champion believes she is lagging in everything else besides tennis.
Naomi came in the limelight when she defeated Serena Williams in the 2018 US Open finals in straight-sets. She even collected the following 2019 Australian Open title becoming the first Asian to hold the World No. 1 rank.

Despite losing her top spot, the Japanese player has never lost the attention of the tennis world. Hence, it is not tennis that bothers her, but the world outside of the sport. Osaka aims to equal her life skills with her tennis skills.
“I used to think that everything depended on the game, and now I sort of understand that you have to find balance,” World No. 3 said. “I want to become knowledgeable, to have a vast understanding of things, or even lots of tiny things that amount to one big thing. I want to be a nice person to everyone I meet.”
