Naomi Osaka made a rousing return to the spotlight this week, launching her 2025 US Open campaign with a commanding first-round victory over Greet Minnen. She took the match in straight sets 6-3, 6-4 under the lights on Tuesday night, showing both power and poise, as reported by TennisUpToDate and Threads. This marks another chapter in what’s quickly becoming a remarkable comeback season for Osaka. Just earlier this month, she reached the Canadian Open final and also picked up a clay title, reestablishing herself firmly among the sport’s elite after giving birth to her daughter, Shai, just last year.
The buzz around Osaka’s return is undeniable. She entered the US Open as the 23rd seed—her first time seeded at a major since early 2022, according to WTA and espnW’s official Instagram channels. There’s a groundswell of support, especially among tennis greats. Kim Clijsters, herself a former champion and tennis mom, has openly backed Osaka to go all the way in New York, telling Tennis365 she’s ready for another mom to win a Grand Slam.
Off the court, Osaka’s personal life has also been in the headlines. The-Express recapped her amicable split seven months ago from rapper Cordae, whom she praised publicly for his parenting and their shared growth, telling her Instagram followers that their daughter is her greatest blessing. Osaka has become an advocate for personal growth, recently reflecting online about the twists and turns in her journey and the importance of staying open to life’s lessons.
She’s been candid about the nostalgia and excitement of returning to New York, sharing with AOL.com that the city feels like home and that she’s working on being less superstitious as she steps back onto tennis’s biggest stage. Osaka’s public appearances have caught social media’s attention, from her bold style—she arrived on court with a matching Labubu, quickly dubbed “iconic” on Threads—to her “Sailor Moon” themed shoot with Complex Sports that made waves on Instagram this week.
With a new documentary trailer released, Osaka even teared up reflecting on how motherhood changed her career, as reported by People. Every appearance, every interview, and every Instagram post—Naomi Osaka is not just back, she is redefining what it means to compete at the top level while balancing life, family, and global stardom.
