Naomi Osaka and her sister Mari are extremely close.
They have been training together since they were young when they were often called the “new Williams.”
Eventually, it was Naomi to achieve (early) greatness after she conquered 2 slams at only 21 years of age while Mari is still ranked no.336 and she struggles to win matches at tour level. However, the different success in tennis didn’t bring them apart; Naomi just published a lovely post on Social Media “celebrating” her bond.
Mari received a wildcard to play in the main draw of the Miami Open. She will face the world no.205 Whitney Osuigwe on Wednesday.
