The 21-year-old Japanese-born tennis player climbed the ranks since turning pro in 2013 and is now ranked number five in the world, below Elina Svitolina, Caroline Wozniacki, Angelique Kerber and Romanian number one Simona Halep.
Osaka is the first Japanese winner of the US Open’s women’s title, in which she successfully beat tennis legend Serena Williams.
