Naomi Osaka is a four-time Grand Slam champion who made a triumphant comeback after time away for her daughter Shai. In 2026 she reached the Wimbledon quarterfinals, beating world No.1 Sabalenka en route, and is among the favourites for the US Open.

Naomi Osaka is one of the most compelling figures in modern sport: a four-time Grand Slam champion, a mental-health advocate, and a player who walked away from the sport’s pressures more than once, only to return and keep competing at the very highest level.

Born in Osaka, Japan, and raised in New York and Florida by her Japanese mother and Haitian-American father, Osaka announced herself on the global stage in 2018 by defeating her idol Serena Williams in the US Open final, a match that became controversial when Williams was penalised multiple times by the chair umpire, but Osaka’s 6-2, 6-4 victory stood. She was 20. She defended the US Open in 2020 and won back-to-back Australian Opens in 2019 and 2021, building a major-championship haul that few players ever reach and cementing her status as the dominant force on hard courts.

She took a landmark stand in 2021, withdrawing from Roland-Garros and citing mental health struggles, speaking openly about anxiety and depression in a way that changed the conversation about athlete wellbeing globally. After a lengthy break she returned to competition, and in 2023 she announced a pregnancy; daughter Shai was born in July 2023. Her return to tennis in 2024-2025 was steady: she won the 2025 Saint-Malo title (her first since the 2021 Australian Open), reached the 2025 US Open semifinals, and in 2026, produced the best Wimbledon result of her career, a quarterfinal run that included a stunning defeat of world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka in the fourth round. She is now a major contender for the 2026 US Open on the New York hard courts she knows best. Sources: Britannica, WTA Tour, Yahoo Sports.
