Delightful gesture by Naomi Osaka

Recently, through a Twitter post, Osaka communicated to her fans about the ‘Cordae’s Holiday Toy Drive’.

“Toys will be distributed outside of the DLTR store, following CDC Guidelines, please wear a mask to receive toys (Children Under 2 Not Required To Wear a Mask)” wrote Osaka to inform people on the social-microblogging website.

Boasting a followership of over 830K on Twitter, netizens applauded Osaka and Cordae’s sweet gesture towards the kids. Cordae, a famous American rapper, apparently started dating Osaka around September this year. He was spotted in the players when Osaka won the

After her US Open triumph, Osaka did not play the remaining season because of a hamstring injury. The World No.3 is preparing for 2021 Australian Open and will head to Melbourne in mid-January next year. Having won the Australian Open in 2019, Osaka will be one of the favorite contenders to claim the championship.

Recently, Osaka was honored with the award of Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year for her impeccable performance in the 2020 season and her on-court activism.
