Naomi Osaka is one of the most popular tennis players in the world and she’s just getting started.
On Wednesday night, the 22-year-old made a massive move by boycotting her semifinal match on Thursday and standing with the other athletes who made similar moves in their respective sports.
Osaka received a lot of mixed feedback to her statement, but she received a lot of love and praise from other big names from the tennis world.
Osaka was expected to play against Elise Mertens on Thursday morning, but instead will sit it out and stand with the NBA, WNBA, MLS and MLB players who did the same thing on Wednesday night.
