Wimbledon: Naomi Osaka’s Mother’s Sassy Looks Remind Tennis Fans of Venus and Serena Williams’ Mom Oracene Price Back in the Day

The British crowd welcomed Naomi Osaka with joy. The WTA star stepped back onto the prestigious grass courts after a five-year absence. Although her daughter Shai and partner Cordae were not spotted in the stands, her mother, Tamaki Osaka, was there to cheer for her. However, she ended up stealing the spotlight as she stunned the fans with her look.

Naomi Osaka’s mother, Tamaki Osaka, sparked a conversation during Osaka’s opening-round match at Wimbledon against Diane Parry. The WTA star’s mother was spotted in a vibrant red outfit, sporting quirky sunglasses. Her stylish appearance caught the eye of many spectators and cameras, and viewers could not stop gushing over her, reminded of Oracene Price, mother of Serena Williams and Venus Williams.

This happened during Naomi Osaka’s strong return to the All-England Club after a five-year absence. She triumphed in her opening-round showdown against Diane Parry with a final score of 6-1, 1-6, 6-4. This victory significantly impacted her momentum as it marked her first win at Wimbledon in six years.

Tamaki Osaka’s support for Naomi Osaka drew parallels to that of Oracene Price, the mother of tennis legends Venus and Serena Williams. Oracene also often attended her daughters’ matches to support them both emotionally and psychologically. Moreover, her dressing sense seemed quite similar to that of Osaka’s mother, leading to many comparisons between the two tennis moms.

Fans notice “Oracene Price moment” in Naomi Osaka’s mom’s Wimbledon presence

A social media channel shared a clip that showed a glimpse of Tamaki in the player’s box. As the video garnered attention, the comment section received a massive response. Fans who had followed the sport for a long time drew parallels to Oracene Price, Serena Williams’ mother, and her unbothered presence.

As fans fretted over Osaka’s return to the grass slam, Tamaki seemed calm and collected, unbothered by stress. Her reaction was reminiscent of Oracene Price who never seemed bothered by her surroundings as she attended her daughters’ matches. A fan wrote, “Entering her Oracene era with that level of unbotheredness,” noticing a similar look on Tamaki Osaka’s face.

Oracene, like her daughters, was known to bust out her fashion sense when attending their matches. Tamaki’s outfit and how she wore her sunglasses and maintained her composure reminded everyone of the Williams sisters’ mother. “This is such an Oracene Price moment from her,” another fan wrote, analyzing the moment keenly.

“LMFAOOOOOO,” a fan wrote, reminded of the time Oracene showed her moves while spectating a match. They further shared the video showing Oracene with a big smile. 

Tamaki oozed a calm and collected personality. Even as her daughter won points, she clapped and did not break her poker face. Her calm demeanor was loved by one fan as they said, “Omg I love her 😭.”

Another fan, dropping several laughing stickers, was amused by the fact that Tamaki Osaka didn’t even slightly turn her head to see people’s reactions. She simply brushed her hair and ensured her glasses were in place. “She does not give af,” the comment said, gushing over her demeanor.

With these and several other similar comments, the fans showered love for Tamaki Osaka. Should her daughter, Naomi Osaka, continue to play in the tournament, we are bound to see more such instances.
