Japanese tennis star Naomi Osaka [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/naomi-osaka/] has been a very successful tennis player. Back in 2018-19, she won two Grand Slams consecutively and also became the world number one. These successes have led to her being a role model for many young players. Naomi has now spoken about what it means to be looked up to by the younger players. She also touches upon those that served as her inspirations.

She said, “I was playing at a tournament. Someone — a parent — came up to me and told me that they had kids who were biracial too, and that they really appreciated how their kids had a role model to look up to. And just, thank you, for being a good example. Honestly, I don’t even remember what I said. I just know that those words blew me away.” The Japanese star went on to say that this got her thinking about the people she looked up to. She went on to speak about those individuals that had inspired to dream big. “People like my mom, who always puts others first. My sister Mari, who drives me crazy sometimes but has been one of my biggest motivators from the beginning. All my tennis heroes — the ones I’ve cheered for, the ones I’ve played, the ones who make me want to level up in every way,” she said. Must Be Hard To Be Illiterate" - Naomi Osaka Blasts Fans For ...

This is due to her success back in 2018-19. Unfortunately, she has been having a bad run of form since then. She was trying to play her best tennis again but the coronavirus pandemic suspended the WTA tour. The WTA Tour has now resumed and the Japanese star will be training hard to be in top form. Her next opportunity to win a Grand Slam is going to come at the 2020 US Open. Source: Nike [https://news.nike.com/news/naomi-osaka-play-academy]

The fourth and final Grand Slam of the year, the United States Open Tennis Championships, takes place in New York City, USA. The tournament is the modern version of the US National Championship, which is one of the oldest and most prestigious tournaments in tennis.

Generally, the US Open starts on the last Monday of August and lasts a fortnight. The middle weekend coincides with the US Labor Day holiday, resulting in the immense popularity of the tournament across ages.

The United States Tennis Association (USTA) owns and started organizing the tournament in 1978. All proceeds from the US Open, be it from ticket sales, screening rights, or sponsorships, are used to further tennis in the country.

The largest and one of the most famous tennis stadiums in the world, the Arthur Ashe Stadium, lies inside the Flushing Meadows complex with a seating capacity of 23,771 spectators. Across the venue, the tournament uses DecoTurf cushion acrylic hard courts.

At the US Open, when the score of the final set reaches 6-6 (fifth set in ATP and third set in WTA), the seven-point tiebreaker comes into play.
<h2>US Open Prize Money</h2>
The total prize money for US Open 2020 was $53.4 million, down 6.7% from the previous year. It is still the richest Grand Slam tennis tournament in history. The men's and women's singles champions' prize money was reduced to $3 million, and the runners-up collected cheques of $1.5 million each.

The champions of the US Open tennis tournament are given 2000 ranking points and the ATP finalists collect 1200 ranking points, whereas their WTA counterparts are awarded 1300 points.

The prize money of the tournament increased to $57.5 million, a 7.60% increase, in 2021 despite hits from the Covid-19 pandemic. The winners, however, received a lowered amount of $2.5 million, and the runner-ups won $1.25 million.?

In 2022, the overall prize money increased once again, touching a whopping $60 million. The prize for the winners and finalists was still smaller than the 2020 prize money. The winners earned $2.6 million, and the runner-ups attained $1.3 million.

<h3>Naomi Osaka 2022:?Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h3>
<img class="size-full wp-image-504135 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210105171703/GettyImages-1198564449.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1280" />

<h3>Early life and background</h3>
Naomi Osaka was born to a Haitian father and a Japanese mother on October 16, 1997, in Osaka, Japan.?
Naomi's father was inspired by watching the Williams sisters play at the 1999 French Open. Despite having little exposure to the sport of tennis, Fran?ois began the tennis training of his two daughters. 
Training his children in the US, Fran?ois and his wife decided their daughters would represent Japan. Naomi's sister, Mari Osaka, is a retired professional tennis player.
Naomi has since gone on to become the only Japanese Grand Slam singles champion. 

<h3 class="p1">Professional career</h3>
In 2016, Naomi was through to the final of a WTA tournament at the age of 18, where she fell to Caroline Wozniacki. Nevertheless, Osaka broke into the top 50 of the WTA rankings for the first time. 
The same year, she made her maiden appearance at a Grand Slam in Melbourne. She was also crowned as the?WTA 'Newcomer of the Year.'
The year 2018 showered prosperity over Osaka. She won her first Grand Slam by defeating her childhood idol Serena Williams. She also became the first Japanese player to contest and win a Grand Slam final.


[caption id="attachment_484607" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-484607" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1125016376.jpg" alt="Naomi Osaka with the Australian Open trophy" width="1920" height="1262" /> Naomi Osaka of Japan with the Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup following victory in her Women's Singles Final match against Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic during day 13 of the 2019 Australian Open at Melbourne Park on January 26, 2019 in Melbourne, Australia. (Photo by Julian Finney/Getty Images)[/caption]
Osaka continued her Majors winning streak at the<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tennis/australian-open/"> Australian Open</a> 2019, where she defeated <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/petra-kvitova/">Petra Kvitova</a> in the finals. She also reached the highest ranking in her career by securing the World No.1 position.?
After her Australian Open victory, her career took a turn. She parted ways with her coach Sascha Bajin and went title-less for a few months.

Osaka trained under Jermaine Jenkins, but she called off her association with him within six months. Currently, she trains with Wim Fissette.

In her hometown tournament at Pan Pacific Open 2019 in Osaka, the Japanese ace finally ended her title-less run.

The following week, she went on to clinch the title in Beijing, China by knocking down <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ashleigh-barty/">Ashleigh Barty</a> in the finals. The end of her 2019 season was marred by injuries. She won her third Grand Slam at the 2020 US Open, defeating Victoria Azarenka.

Osaka continued her impressive Grand Slam final record at Australian Open 2021. She made it four out of four in Grand Slam finals as she beat Jennifer Brady to claim her 2nd Australian Open title and fourth Grand Slam title.
<h3>Naomi Osaka's form before the 2022 season</h3>
After winning her fourth Grand Slam title at the Australian Open, Osaka witnessed a major dip in form, which was caused by mental health issues that she had been struggling with. As a result, Naomi withdrew from the French Open and Wimbledon Championships 2021.

Her decision to skip press conferences at the French Open got blown out of proportion and she decided to withdraw from the tournament before her second round tie.

She made a comeback for the US hard-court season and couldn't live up to the expectations as she lost in the third-round of the US Open to Canadian rising star Leylah Fernandez.
<h3>Naomi Osaka Australian Open 2022</h3>
Osaka ended her disappointing season after the US Open and worked on her game during the off-season to make a strong re-entry for the 2022 Australian summer.

Coming into the 'Happy Slam', Osaka played the warm-event in Melbourne and reached the semis before pulling out of the event owing to an abdominal injury.

At the Australian Open, Osaka registered straight-set victories in her first two matches and fell in the third round to Amanda Anisimova in a gripping three-set contest.
<h3>Personal Life</h3>
Osaka is dating rapper YBN Cordae. Once as a fangirl, she accepted a 'date' with Michael B. Jordan for the premiere of Creed 2.
<h3>Naomi Osaka: Net Worth 2022</h3>
Osaka is one of the leading athletes in the world to amass massive earnings for the year 2021. Forbes estimated her earnings towards the end of 2021 to be $60 million dollars.

Out of the earnings, only $5 million had come from playing events and the rest she earned through top-brand sponsorships.

(Photo by Chris Hyde/Getty Images) Early life and background Naomi Osaka was born to a Haitian father and a Japanese mother on October 16, 1997, in Osaka, Japan.? Naomi&#8217;s father was inspired by watching the Williams sisters play at the 1999 French Open. Despite having little exposure to the sport of tennis, Fran?ois began the tennis training of his two daughters. Training his children in the US, Fran?ois and his wife decided their daughters would represent Japan. Naomi&#8217;s sister, Mari Osaka, is a retired professional tennis player. Naomi has since gone on to become the only Japanese Grand Slam singles champion. Professional career In 2016, Naomi was through to the final of a WTA tournament at the age of 18, where she fell to Caroline Wozniacki. Nevertheless, Osaka broke into the top 50 of the WTA rankings for the first time. The same year, she made her maiden appearance at a Grand Slam in Melbourne. She was also crowned as the?WTA &#8216;Newcomer of the Year.&#8217; The year 2018 showered prosperity over Osaka. She won her first Grand Slam by defeating her childhood idol Serena Williams. She also became the first Japanese player to contest and win a Grand Slam final.

She also reached the highest ranking in her career by securing the World No.1 position.? After her Australian Open victory, her career took a turn. She parted ways with her coach Sascha Bajin and went title-less for a few months. Osaka trained under Jermaine Jenkins, but she called off her association with him within six months. Currently, she trains with Wim Fissette. In her hometown tournament at Pan Pacific Open 2019 in Osaka, the Japanese ace finally ended her title-less run. The following week, she went on to clinch the title in Beijing, China by knocking down Ashleigh Barty in the finals. The end of her 2019 season was marred by injuries. She won her third Grand Slam at the 2020 US Open, defeating Victoria Azarenka. Osaka continued her impressive Grand Slam final record at Australian Open 2021. She made it four out of four in Grand Slam finals as she beat Jennifer Brady to claim her 2nd Australian Open title and fourth Grand Slam title. Naomi Osaka&#8217;s form before the 2022 season After winning her fourth Grand Slam title at the Australian Open, Osaka witnessed a major dip in form, which was caused by mental health issues that she had been struggling with. As a result, Naomi withdrew from the French Open and Wimbledon Championships 2021. Her decision to skip press conferences at the French Open got blown out of proportion and she decided to withdraw from the tournament before her second round tie. She made a comeback for the US hard-court season and couldn&#8217;t live up to the expectations as she lost in the third-round of the US Open to Canadian rising star Leylah Fernandez. Naomi Osaka Australian Open 2022 Osaka ended her disappointing season after the US Open and worked on her game during the off-season to make a strong re-entry for the 2022 Australian summer. Coming into the &#8216;Happy Slam&#8217;, Osaka played the warm-event in Melbourne and reached the semis before pulling out of the event owing to an abdominal injury. At the Australian Open, Osaka registered straight-set victories in her first two matches and fell in the third round to Amanda Anisimova in a gripping three-set contest.
