Naomi Osaka, a tennis player, revealed her pregnancy and comeback to competition in 2024, days after announcing her withdrawal from the 2018 Australian Open. On Wednesday, the former world number one shared “a small life update for 2023,” which included a photo of an ultrasound, on social media. Osaka, now 25 years old, has dated rapper Cordae for quite some time.
Osaka stated, “I know that I have so much to look forward to in the future, and one thing I’m looking forward to is for my baby to watch one of my matches and tell someone, ‘that’s my mom.'” “2023 will be a year of education for me, and I look forward to reconnecting with you all at the beginning of the following year at the Australian Open 2024. Have endless amounts of love for you all. Osaka withdrew from this weekend’s Australian Open, her first tournament appearance since September. That’s on top of her two US Open titles and two wins at this tournament. Until Wednesday, Osaka did not provide an explanation for her absence. After losing in the first round of the US Open, she took a sabbatical to focus on her mental health and did not play again until the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo. Osaka has “a fresh passion and appreciation for the game I’ve committed my life to” after taking time away from tennis. In 2019, the top player in the world was a Japanese player who had grown up in the United States and was now ranked 47th. With her victories at the Australian Open in 2019 and 2021, as well as the US Open in 2018 and 2020, Osaka now holds a total of four Grand Slam singles championships.
Forbes magazine has announced that she is the highest-paid female athlete in the world for 2022, with earnings of $51.1 million. Ash Barty, who is favored to win the 2022 Australian Open, revealed her pregnancy last week. When she finally did retire last year, she was ranked first. Osaka, however, has stated that she would resume tennis and that she intends to attend the 2019 Australian Open in Melbourne.
