Naomi Osaka is one of the most prominent figures in women’s tennis. The Grand Slam winner has come into the spotlight after breaking onto the scene at a young age. However, she has taken her time off the WTA Tour after struggling with various issues.

The Japanese star has withdrawn from various events on Tour citing mental health issues. After reaching the World No. 1 ranking, Osaka has fallen off the grid after continued struggles on and off the court.

Osaka talks about her incredible rise on Tour

Since making her debut at a young age, the Japanese star has been ever-present among the best on Tour. She said, “It was when I beat Sam Stosur, who had won the US Open, I was only 16 and ranked outside the top 400, so it was a shock result to some. To me, that was probably when I realised I could have a really good career.”
