Osaka has had a troubled past few months. She withdrew from the French Open after the first round of the tournament. Also, the Japanese star didn’t even participate at the Wimbledon this year. However, she is expected to put on a show at the Olympics and will be in action on Sunday.
The superpowers will battle to show their supremacy in various sports. Who tops the list eventually remains to be seen. But if the opening ceremony was any indication of what is in store for the fans in days to come, spectacular things will happen in the near future.
