After turning pro in 2013, it didn’t take Naomi Osaka to garner the love and adulation of tennis fans. This year, she took a hiatus due to her pregnancy. However, not many fans imagined that she would return to the court very soon. As the tennis star prepares for her anticipated comeback in the upcoming season, an engaging surprise follows her.

Naomi Osaka’s story has been full of struggles and hardships. Along with managing to get on top of the WTA rankings, the tennis star also diversified her portfolio in the world of businesses and collaborations. While the story always seemed to be worthy of being penned down, Ben Rothenberg, a sportswriter who has covered Osaka since 2014 for the New York Times, has come out with his latest book, NAOMI OSAKA. Talking about the book, he shared a few teasers on social media related to renowned figures like Roger Federer and Taylor Swift.
