Naomi Osaka is BACK, and she’s feeling more powerful than ever 💥 After a 15-month hiatus from tennis and giving birth to her daughter, Shai, the four-time Grand Slam winner returned to the court this year to prep for the Brisbane International tournament, focused like never before.
One thing that has shifted her mindset? Motherhood. Recalling her difficult labor, #NaomiOsaka shares that she had to push her baby out, fast. “I do remember feeling in that moment, ‘This is the worst pain of my life, and I know that if I get through this, then everything else will feel very easy.’”
For InStyle’s #Celebration issue, @naomiosaka opens up about the challenges of parenthood, the family traditions she’s excited to pass onto Shai, and exploring life beyond tennis at the link in bio.

In 2023, @naomiosaka stepped away from tennis, welcomed a baby, then returned to training to begin fulfilling a dream: “for my kid to watch one of my matches and tell someone, ‘That’s my mom.’”
Those things are just a small part of a larger story, though. Amid all that, the tennis ace has been building her business empire through her talent agency @thisisevolve, her media company @hanakuma, a line of sun-protection products @kinloskin, her girls program @playacademynaomi, and her pickleball team @miamipc.
