Australian Open Naomi Osaka:

Earlier, when the 23-year-old beat Serena Williams on Thursday to move on in the final, during a press conference after her victory, Osaka wore a vintage Los Angeles Lakers sweater to pay tribute to her former mentor, NBA great Kobe Bryant, who died in a helicopter crash in January 2020.

Osaka was the first Asian player to hold the top ranking in singles. At the US Open in 2020, she arrived for each of her matches wearing a face mask with the name of different American citizens who reportedly died due to racial injustice. She held the title of the Highest-Paid Female Athlete by Forbes last year. Off the court, she has been protesting against racial injustice and the death of Breonna Taylor, an African-American who was shot dead by cops last year in May, and also the death of George Floyd. She was also adjudged Sports Illustrated’s Sportsperson of the Year.
