Osaka in the 2021 tennis season

It has been a topsy-turvy season for Osaka. Even though she has won a Grand Slam, she failed to play consistently well on the WTA tour this year.

The 23-year-old began her 2021 campaign in style after winning her fourth Grand Slam title at the Australian Open 2021. She defeated many top-seeded players on her path to glory in Melbourne.

However, the Japanese player couldn’t perform well on clay and grass. She withdrew from the French Open 2021 citing mental health issues and later didn’t even play at the Wimbledon Championships 2021. Fans had huge expectations from her at the Tokyo Olympics 2020 but she failed to grab a medal for her nation there as well.

Even though Naomi Osaka is not enjoying the best of her form, fans still expect a lot from her. Will she be able to finish within the top 10 WTA players by the end of the year?
