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.”
