Naomi Osaka is currently playing the Western & Southern Open before trying to conquer her second US Open.
The Japanese sensation is one of the most marketable athlete in the world because of her “triple ethnicity” (she has been living in the US with her Japanese mother and Haitian father), her intriguing character and her fantastic success on court.
Naomi posted some fantastic pictures on Instagram of her appearing on the cover page of the Wall Street Magazine. Naomi wrote:
“Nothing but love to @wsjmag for letting me be on their September cover. Talked about speaking out more and the US Open among various things so if you feel like reading you should check it out.”
