Summary

Naomi Osaka grew up in Japan and the US, with one foot in each place. But wherever she was, she loved to play tennis--and she worked hard at it too, always practicing and improving. Many people doubted that she would make it as a professional player, but she persisted and showed the world that she is a champion. Her talent on the court and her activism for racial justice and mental health causes off it have made Naomi an inspiration to fans everywhere.
