Each match she played at this year's Open, Osaka took it as a chance to raise her voice against racial injustice by wearing masks bearing the names of Black victims who lost their life due to alleged police or racist violence.

HER FIRST GRAND SLAM WIN WAS EVENTFUL

That day, Osaka made history by becoming the first Japanese player to win a Grand Slam singles title. But the crowd booed at her and she wept, seemingly overwhelmed by their reaction.

Williams, who earned a point penalty for cracking her racket and got a code violation warning for coaching that day, congratulated Osaka and asked her fans to stop booing.
