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.

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.
