For the first time, Osaka had her dad watching her play from the player’s box. With the victory, the Japanese star is all set to face the young star and her good friend Coco Gauff in the third round. The match promises to be an enticing encounter. The two faced off at last year’s US open where Osaka turned out on top before falling to Belinda Bencic in the round of 16.

Meanwhile, Osaka’s gesture is certainly commendable considering that tennis stars don’t usually remember who their fans are among the sea of support that they receive. The fact that she goes through the tweets of her superfan and is able to recognize him in the crowd speaks volumes about her humility.

This attitude will only add to her ever-increasing fanbase.

Before that, she’ll look to put away Coco Gauff in the quest to retain her crown.
