What?s more, this move came in through nearly unanimous approval. On January 22, 2020, the Raiders official picked up the mantle of the Las Vegas Raiders.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Although the initial years were fraught with hardships, the entry of Al Davis and his continued attempts at improvement saw things turn around in 1967. The team went on the win it?s first and only AFL championship, however; they were soundly dispatched by the Green Bay Packers at Super Bowl II. The franchise currently clocks in with 15 division titles, 4 AFC championships, 1 AFL championship (1967), and 3 Super Bowl Chips: XI, XV, XVII in 1976, 1980, and 1983 respectively.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Naomi Osaka’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 players—two men and one woman—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 titles—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.
