<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Naomi Osakaâ€™s Career Stats</b></h2>
Here are five of the most striking numbers from Naomi Osaka's CV to serve as a reminder of how amazing her career has been thus far:

Her record in Grand Slam finals is a flawless 4-0. She is one of just four playersâ€”two men and one womanâ€”in the Open Era to do it.

Not only is Osaka the first Japanese tennis player to win a Grand Slam championship, but she's also the first to ever rank #1 in the ATP or WTA rankings.

Osaka has been unbeaten since the quarterfinals. Once she advances past the fourth round of a major, she is a perfect 12-0. She goes 4-0 in the quarterfinals, 4-0 in the semifinals, and, as previously stated, 4-0 in the finals. No other player in the Open Era, either male or female, has done that but her.

She has won over half of her career titles while in majors. Four of the seven tour-level trophies Osaka has won in her career have been Grand Slam titlesâ€”talk about rising to the occasion. Her other three victories have also been significant: in 2019 she won a WTA 500 in her hometown of Osaka, as well as two WTA 1000s in Beijing and Indian Wells in 2018 and 2019.

She became the first athlete born in 1995 or later to hold the top spot in the ATP or WTA rankings. After winning her second consecutive major in Melbourne on January 28, 2019, the 1997-born Osaka initially took the top slot, a position she would hold for a total of 25 weeks throughout 2019.

Osaka is now one of six players (Aryna Sabalenka, Daniil Medvedev, Ashleigh Barty, Carlos Alcaraz, and Swiatek) born in 1995 or after to rank No. 1 on the list.

After taking the opening set, she is now 49-3 in majors. Osaka has been one of the top players on the women's circuit, having only three career losses due to major upsets. She lost to Simona Halep in the 2016 Roland Garros third round, 4-6, 6-2, 6-3; to Leylah Fernandez in the 2021 US Open third round, 5-7, 7-6 (2), 6-4; and to Amanda Anisimova in the 2022 Australian Open third round, 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (5).

She had two match points against Anisimova in Australia and was three points away from defeating Fernandez 7-5, 6-5 at the US Open. She was also very close to winning the final two matches.

<h2 class="article_subsection" style="text-align: center"><b>Naomi Osakaâ€™s Charity and Foundation</b></h2>
During the COVID-19-induced lockdown in July 2020, Osaka and her older sister Mari collaborated with UNICEF to design and produce a limited-edition face mask, which was made available for the public to buy.

The proceeds from the initiative went to the needy in Japan, where Osaka hails from.

Naomi Osaka also is in charge of Play Academy, which is run in collaboration with Laureus Sport for Good, NIKE, Inc., and other corporate partners. By investing in enjoyable, constructive play experiences that encourage young women to become role models and educating coaches to create more inclusive play and sports environments, it seeks to level the playing field for girls by boosting their involvement in sports.

Play Academy was first established in 2020 and has since funded 15 programs in its three core regionsâ€”Japan, Haiti, and Los Angelesâ€”all of which are areas that two-time Laureus World Sports Award winner Naomi Osaka has a personal connection to.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Naomi Osaka</b> <b>Australian Open 2022</b></h2>
Osaka ended her disappointing season after the US Open and worked on her game during the off-season to make a strong re-entry for the 2022 Australian summer.

Coming into the 'Happy Slam', Osaka played the warm event in Melbourne and reached the semis before pulling out of the event owing to an abdominal injury.

At the Australian Open, Osaka registered straight-set victories in her first two matches and fell in the third round to Amanda Anisimova in a gripping three-set contest.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Naomi Osaka's return in 2024 season</b></h2>
Even if Naomi Osaka did not get the immediate renown she had hoped for, she proved that she was headed in the right direction when she made her grand slam tennis comeback in AO 2024. The former world number one battled with one of the world's top players, Caroline Garcia, before falling short in the first round of the Australian Open, 6-4, 7-6(2).

Osaka is playing in her second tournament since giving birth to her daughter Shai in July, having competed in her first since September 2022 in Brisbane at the start of the year.

Naomi Osakaâ€™s Career Stats Here are five of the most striking numbers from Naomi Osaka&#8217;s CV to serve as a reminder of how amazing her career has been thus far: Her record in Grand Slam finals is a flawless 4-0. She is one of just four playersâ€”two men and one womanâ€”in the Open Era to do it. Not only is Osaka the first Japanese tennis player to win a Grand Slam championship, but she&#8217;s also the first to ever rank #1 in the ATP or WTA rankings. Osaka has been unbeaten since the quarterfinals. Once she advances past the fourth round of a major, she is a perfect 12-0. She goes 4-0 in the quarterfinals, 4-0 in the semifinals, and, as previously stated, 4-0 in the finals. No other player in the Open Era, either male or female, has done that but her. She has won over half of her career titles while in majors. Four of the seven tour-level trophies Osaka has won in her career have been Grand Slam titlesâ€”talk about rising to the occasion. Her other three victories have also been significant: in 2019 she won a WTA 500 in her hometown of Osaka, as well as two WTA 1000s in Beijing and Indian Wells in 2018 and 2019. She became the first athlete born in 1995 or later to hold the top spot in the ATP or WTA rankings. After winning her second consecutive major in Melbourne on January 28, 2019, the 1997-born Osaka initially took the top slot, a position she would hold for a total of 25 weeks throughout 2019. Osaka is now one of six players (Aryna Sabalenka, Daniil Medvedev, Ashleigh Barty, Carlos Alcaraz, and Swiatek) born in 1995 or after to rank No. 1 on the list. After taking the opening set, she is now 49-3 in majors. Osaka has been one of the top players on the women&#8217;s circuit, having only three career losses due to major upsets. She lost to Simona Halep in the 2016 Roland Garros third round, 4-6, 6-2, 6-3; to Leylah Fernandez in the 2021 US Open third round, 5-7, 7-6 (2), 6-4; and to Amanda Anisimova in the 2022 Australian Open third round, 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (5). She had two match points against Anisimova in Australia and was three points away from defeating Fernandez 7-5, 6-5 at the US Open. She was also very close to winning the final two matches.

Naomi Osakaâ€™s Charity and Foundation During the COVID-19-induced lockdown in July 2020, Osaka and her older sister Mari collaborated with UNICEF to design and produce a limited-edition face mask, which was made available for the public to buy. The proceeds from the initiative went to the needy in Japan, where Osaka hails from. Naomi Osaka also is in charge of Play Academy, which is run in collaboration with Laureus Sport for Good, NIKE, Inc., and other corporate partners. By investing in enjoyable, constructive play experiences that encourage young women to become role models and educating coaches to create more inclusive play and sports environments, it seeks to level the playing field for girls by boosting their involvement in sports. Play Academy was first established in 2020 and has since funded 15 programs in its three core regionsâ€”Japan, Haiti, and Los Angelesâ€”all of which are areas that two-time Laureus World Sports Award winner Naomi Osaka has a personal connection to. Naomi Osaka Australian Open 2022 Osaka ended her disappointing season after the US Open and worked on her game during the off-season to make a strong re-entry for the 2022 Australian summer. Coming into the &#8216;Happy Slam&#8217;, Osaka played the warm event in Melbourne and reached the semis before pulling out of the event owing to an abdominal injury. At the Australian Open, Osaka registered straight-set victories in her first two matches and fell in the third round to Amanda Anisimova in a gripping three-set contest. Naomi Osaka&#8217;s return in 2024 season Even if Naomi Osaka did not get the immediate renown she had hoped for, she proved that she was headed in the right direction when she made her grand slam tennis comeback in AO 2024. The former world number one battled with one of the world&#8217;s top players, Caroline Garcia, before falling short in the first round of the Australian Open, 6-4, 7-6(2).
