Nevertheless, Osaka made $15 million from a variety of endorsement and sponsorship agreements.

She ranked as the fourth-highest-paid tennis player and the fifth-highest-paid female athlete of 2023. At the Australian Open in 2021, Osaka—who turned 26 in October—won her fourth Grand Slam championship.

Osaka rose to prominence at a young age and is the face of several of the most well-known companies in the world, such as Nike, Mastercard, Tag Heuer, and others.

Osaka will play again in a few weeks at the Brisbane International, which is held between December 31 and January 07, after missing the entire 2023 season.

At the 2021 Australian Open, Osaka—who turned 26 in October, won her fourth Grand Slam title.

Early in her career, Osaka saw great success, and she currently represents some of the most well-known companies in the world, such as Nike, Mastercard, Tag Heuer, and so on.

In a few weeks, Osaka will return to action at the Brisbane International, which is scheduled for December 31–January 7, 2024, following a complete absence from the league.

Despite extensive training for her comeback, Osaka harbours a hint of apprehension regarding the rigours of tournament play and its accompanying demands.

Even with her extensive training for her comeback, Osaka harbours a hint of apprehension regarding the rigours of tournament play and its accompanying demands.

She says that although she is not sure of her form yet, she is optimistic that she will have a good season.

“It’s definitely way more tournaments than I used to play. So I think some people will be happy with that. I realized that I don’t know how the beginning of the year is going to go for me. I don’t know the level of player, and I think I have to ease into it. At the very least, I will set myself up for a very good end of the year,” she said recently ahead of her return.

She delivered in July and she is enjoying her new motherhood journey with her fiancée rapper Cordae. Since losing in the first round of the US Open in 2022, Osaka hasn’t participated in any professional matches.

Being out of action feels strange to her, especially missing the 2023 Australian Open. She implies that it was the hardest hit she took because it was the first time in her tennis career that she missed the tournament.

Nevertheless, it is an interesting phase that she is learning from and she is entertaining the possibility of playing tennis in her late 30s like Serena Williams and her sister Venus Williams.

One thing is for sure: her time off tennis has increased her love for the racket and she is now ready to play for as long as she can because tennis is a huge part of her life.

She says her plan to play more tournaments starting in 2024 is good news to her fans. The rationale behind this decision is to ensure that she regains her form after over a year off the court.

Since Osaka is aware that it takes multiple matches to get comfortable, participating in more competitions allows her to start over and develop her portfolio.

In March, she denied retirement claims after learning about her experience becoming a mother. The Japanese tennis star, who is 25 years old, claimed that her career is far from over.

She is still working hard to promote mental well-being, particularly for tennis players and other athletes, even though her comeback is soon.

She has previously accused social media users and the media of being insensitive to tennis players, which has caused her and many other tennis players to experience mental health issues.

Osaka disclosed her mental health issues in public in 2021 and then took an unexpected trip to Greece. She claimed to be battling depression.
