The 24-year-old announced the news of her Fortnite collaboration in a series of Instagram posts and stories.

Further, on the tennis front, Osaka has had a disappointing start to this season. She withdrew from the semifinals of the Melbourne Summer Set 1 after suffering an abdominal injury. At the Australian Open 2022, Osaka suffered a shock third-round loss to Amanda Anisimova of the USA. Her barren run has significantly affected her WTA rankings, dropping to Number 80 in the world.
