Naomi Osaka had a fantastic run in New York where she reached the final of the Western & Southern Open and she conquered the US Open. After the last fortnight, the Japanese sensation gained 6 places in the rankings to be the new world no.3. If she keeps on winning, she might have a shot of regaining her world no.1 rank at the expences of Ashleigh Barty.
