Naomi Osaka was born on October 16, 1997. She started playing tennis when she was three.
00:09
Her mother, Tamaki Osaka was born in Japan. And her father, Leonard Francois is from Haiti.
00:21
In 2017 she struggled because she played on clay.
00:27
Playing tennis on clay usually slows down the ball, so that slows down the game too.
00:36
But she managed.
00:39
As Naomi got older, she started to get more and more into tennis.
00:45
One day she told herself that she was going to be one of the best tennis players ever.
00:51
So she practiced until she was old enough to compete in the tennis Open finals.
00:58
Soon enough, she won the first round,
01:02
then the second until she was playing against her favorite celebrity,
01:08
Serena Williams.
01:11
Williams just gave birth to a child so Naomi had the advantage.
01:18
And before she knew it, they were both on the fancy concrete court.
01:25
It seemed like almost all the people were cheering for Williams.
01:31
It was Naomi’s serve first. She blasted the ball, Williams had no chance.
01:39
Naomi Osaka won in the 2018 US open final.
01:50
When she won against Williams she said,
01:56
“You just gotta keep going and fighting for everything, and one day you'll get to where you want.”
02:05
I feel like she is super important because she persisted so that she would be a great tennis player,
02:12
inspiring me to look forward to my dreams.
