Naomi Osaka may have had a series of ups and downs during her hard-court season. However, that doesn’t seem to stop the Japanese star from being one of the most promising players on the tour. In Paris for the French Open, Osaka recently released her Roland Garros collection by Nike.

Being in her prime in 2018-19, Osaka roped several brands as her sponsors during that time. American sports apparel brand Nike was one of them. Engaging in a $10 million per year deal in 2019, the brand today is one of the major sponsors of the former World No. 1. Reciprocating the same, Osaka also adds a humongous value to the brand’s image. Thanks to her mighty fan following. Taking the collaboration forward, Nike called on Osaka to release its latest collection.
