Naomi Osaka Net Worth

Naomi Osaka is one of the most well-known female tennis players in the world, and it’s all thanks to her father who, after seeing the Williams sisters play, taught Osaka and her sister to play tennis from a young age. Osaka trained at the little-known Pembroke Pines public courts in Queens and participated in the premier international junior tour.

Although one of his daughters, Mari retired early in her professional tennis player, his efforts paid off through Naomi who managed to continue and even win against her childhood idol Serena Williams. Today, Naomi Osaka is the only Japanese tennis player to win the grand slam singles championship and is a trailblazer in so many ways.

She has a career-high singles ranking of no.1 on the ITF junior circuit. 

Naomi Osaka’s net worth

Naomi Osaka’s net worth is sitting at 60 million dollars as of this writing and she is currently the highest paid female athlete. Her road to riches began when she was crowned WTA newcomer in the year in 2016. At just 18 years of age, Naomi had achieved so much as a young woman, including making it through the WTA tour finals and breaking into the top 50 of the WTA rankings.

Today, her annual earnings are sitting at $ 50 million and Naomi Osaka’s endorsements by well-known brands like Workday, Louis Viton, and Airbnb continue to be very profitable. In fact, Osaka currently has 20 sponsors with a view to adding more in the future.

The year 2018 was great for Osaka because it was the first time that she won a Grand Slam title, and she achieved this by beating her idol and tennis great, Serena William.

This win helped to put Osaka’s home country of Japan on the map and today she is recognized as the first woman in Japan to win a grand slam final and has quickly become the best woman tennis player around the world. 

Naomi Osaka professional career

Naomi Osaka has made a big name for herself through her incredible tennis skills. While her career started at a very early age, everything fell into place when Osaka became the first Asian woman to win a grand slam final, and in 2019 she followed that up by defeating Petra Kvitova to win the Australian Open and winning the Pan Pacific.

In the same year, Osaka defeated Ashleigh Barty to claim a win in the Beijing finals, making it one of the most successful years for her. 

She also reached the highest ranking compared to her peers in the tournament and soon became the highest-paid woman in the championship.

Soon after her 2019 championship win, Osaka decided to go solo by leaving her long-time mentor and coach Sascha Bajin. She remained without a coach for a while before moving on to trainer Jermaine Jenkins, a partnership that only lasted for six months.

Recently, she is under the training of Wim Fissette who is known to have successfully coached former number ones such as Victoria Azarenka, Kim Clijsters, Simona Halep, and Angelique Kerber. Hopefully, Osaka has found a coach that suits her evolving style and will continue to thrive under Fissette’s leadership. In 2020, Osaka took home her third grand slam after going against Victoria Azarenk at the 2020 US open.

Challenges and Setbacks

2022 has been a rocky year for Osaka, starting with having to pull out of a game in the Australian Open also known as the Happy Slam Tournament semis, due to an abdominal injury. Osaka was all set to play  Amanda Anisimova to the end, but it was just not meant to be. Although she had the upper hand for at least two straight rounds during the intense game, she faltered in the third, eventually handing the win to Anisimova.

It was at this point that rumors of her injuries surfaced, with Osaka herself admitting that although she wanted to continue playing, her injuries would not allow her to do so.  At the end of the day, she fell and ended up losing the match as a result.

Despite all her struggles, Osaka remains one of the most marketable athletes in the world. In addition to her partnerships with the brands mentioned above, she boasts a bevy of loyal sponsors, such as Yonex and Nike. Of course, she is also the ambassador of popular Japanese car manufacturer Nissan Motors and the Japanese electronics citizen Watch.

She has a Nissan GT R Nismo thanks to being a brand ambassador for Nissan Motor. She is still very much connected to her Japanese roots. She often makes references to Japanese culture on her social media.
