Amid Barbie Frenzy, New Tennis Mother Naomi Osaka Receives Heart-Warming Surprise From a Die-Hard Fan

How does one commemorate champions? Of course, there are achievement awards, but how does one go beyond that? Mattel had an incredible idea back in 2015 when the company started a Barbie doll series for role models known for their indelible impact on the world. Mattel released one of these dolls for Naomi Osaka in 2021. The doll has resurfaced as the ‘Barbie’ trend has taken over the world in the past few months.

A dedicated fan of the 4x Grand Slam Champion posted a tweet during the end credits of the latest Greta Gerwig blockbuster, Barbie. It’s safe to say that it caught the attention of the Japanese star who is currently on a break after welcoming her first child.
