After the controversial and disappointing end to her US open campaign, Serena Williams has decided to end her 2018 campaign in a hurry. Serena Williams has withdrawn from the upcoming tournament in Beijing in China. After winning here twice in 2004 and 2013, the former champion has not played here since her loss to Sam Stosur in 2014. SERENA’S YEAR SO FAR Serena Williams [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Serena-Williams-and-Angleque-Kerber-Wimbledon-2018.jpg] The American had a purposeful start to her 2017 campaign, winning the Australian Open early on. However, she later revealed that she was pregnant during the tournament. After a long hiatus to deliver her first child, Serena returned to Indian Wells, where she was dispatched by Naomi Osaka. French Open was another disappointment, as she withdrew from the tournament prior to her match against Sharapova. Serena was the favorite at the Wimbledon as she squared up against former world number one Angelique Kerber [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelique_Kerber]. However it was the German who came out on top in straight sets. Poor performances followed as she had quick exits from the San Jose and Cincinnati opens. However she returned strong at the US open [https://www.essentiallysports.com/isner-serena-williams-double-standards/]. A tournament who’s final was marred by controversies [https://www.essentiallysports.com/just-insanity-serena-williams/] and unwanted interruptions. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR SERENA WILLIAMS Serena Williams [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/serena-williams-shouting.jpg] After playing only 24 matches in her 2018 campaign, it is unlikely that she will play more this year. Serena has failed to add to her tally of 23 grand slam titles this year, despite reaching two slam finals. This also means that she will not be qualifying for the year end tournament, WTA finals, in Singapore. She is currently sitting on the 16th rank in the WTA singles rankings. Serena Williams might be roped in for the Brisbane open, before she competes at the Australian Open. Brisbane Open has already confirmed the participation of the US open champion Naomi Osaka. The American has not played in Brisbane since 2014, opting to play the Hopman cup in 2015 and 2016. 

After the controversial and disappointing end to her US open campaign, Serena
Williams has decided to end her 2018 campaign in a hurry.

<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]

She also reached the highest ranking in her career by securing the World No.1 position.?

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>
