With each passing year, World No. 2 Naomi Osaka is cementing her name in the history books of tennis. Women’s tennis has found a player that can truly be considered one of the leading personalities and icons of the sport. Besides her success on the courts, the Japanese starlet enjoys the fame off the courts as well.  

Recently, Osaka shared an interesting story about her Glamour magazine cover. While she was serving her 14-day quarantine period at the Australian Open this year, she shot her cover pictures all by herself. The Japanese player surely knew how to make use of the time available to her.

After the Australian Open, Osaka has not played a tournament and will headline the WTA Miami Open. It will be the season’s first 1000 event, as the Indian Wells tournament has been postponed. In the previous season, both events were canceled as the world was dealing with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
