The Japanese tennis star was ecstatic after her in-game skins in Fortnite will be launched tomorrow. Expressing her happiness, she took to Instagram and said, “I just wanna say thank you to everyone on all the love and support for this.”

Further, she added, “Everyone that knows me knows that I play video games with my sis+friends for hours whenever I have free time, so to have a skin in Fortnite and to have my sister design it…easily one of the biggest things I’ve ever had the honor of doing, wow what a dream.”

The 24-year-old announced the news of her Fortnite collaboration in a series of Instagram posts and stories.

Further, on the tennis front, Osaka has had a disappointing start to this season. She withdrew from the semifinals of the Melbourne Summer Set 1 after suffering an abdominal injury. At the Australian Open 2022, Osaka suffered a shock third-round loss to Amanda Anisimova of the USA. Her barren run has significantly affected her WTA rankings, dropping to Number 80 in the world.
