A DARING TRANSFORMATION

Amid the coronavirus pandemic, Osaka shared she had a productive off-season training. She is also grateful that she was able to continue playing tennis. She added:
"I'm looking forward to seeing where my level is at in Australia."
Osaka had her fair share of quarantined moments, adding that she is on the same page as everyone else. She brought with her a camera to prevent her from feeling bored.
Osaka became the highest-paid female athlete according to Forbes.
