Back in 2018, we saw Naomi Osaka [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/naomi-osaka/] beat Serena Williams at the US Open. That was definitely not her favorite victory as the match was a very controversial one. Now in 2020, the Japanese star has beaten the American in a different game which is a victory she will be happy about. And in the process, she has set a new record. Check it out. Watch Netflix at Home” - Naomi Osaka on a Day Off - EssentiallySports [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/skysports-naomi-osaka-tennis_4898558-1600x900.jpg] NAOMI OSAKA SETS A NEW RECORD While tennis is an extremely entertaining sport, it also helps players earn a lot of money. According to Forbes, Naomi Osaka made $37.5 Million in the last 12 months. This is $1.4 Million more than what Serena Williams made and has made her the highest-paid female athlete of all time. This record was previously held by Maria Sharapova who made $29 Million back in 2015. Clearly, the Japanese star has beaten this record by a large margin. And we can expect more records like this as sport is offering more and more money every single year. Naomi Osaka Gets the Last Word - WSJ [https://images.wsj.net/im-25454?width=620&size=1.5] Osaka will certainly be happy that she has set such a record especially considering her last 12 months. After her win at the 2019 Australian Open, the Japanese star had a sudden drop in form. She did not win too many titles and lost in the early stages of the other Grand Slam tournaments. She will definitely want to get back to playing her amazing tennis so that she can win some more titles. Unfortunately for her, she will have to wait for a while as the WTA Tour has been suspended [https://www.atptour.com/en/news/atp-extends-tour-suspension] due to the coronavirus pandemic. It is scheduled to return in August assuming the virus is contained by then. With many countries developing a vaccine, we should see the virus contained soon. And when its contained we should hopefully see Naomi Osaka return play some of her best tennis and hopefully win a couple of Grand Slams. 

Naomi Osaka has beaten Serena Williams to a very big record - the highest-paid
female athlete of all time. Check out how she beat it.

<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.

(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.
