Naomi Osaka recently organized meet-and-greet that took place at Barnes and Noble at the Grove in Los Angeles, California, on Thursday as she was signing her book The Way Champs Play.
Naomi Osaka is a world-renowned professional tennis player, but her rise to the top was not without its struggles. Born in Japan to a Japanese mother and a Haitian father, Osaka and her family moved to the United States when she was three years old. Growing up, Osaka often found herself playing on public courts.
Today, Osaka is known for her powerful game and her fierce determination on the court. Despite coming from humble beginnings and facing adversity, she never let anything stand in the way of her dream, and her hard work and dedication have paid off with multiple Grand Slam titles.
After the event that she organized, the Japanese player was surprised to see how many people came to meet her as she shared on her social media as she also opened up about her tough beginnings.
“To everyone that came out tonight I’m so thankful and grateful. I was literally a kid that sometimes got kicked out of public courts. To now be able to have a book and to have people come out on a Thursday evening to get it for their relatives is something I’ll treasure forever. I love you. P.s : if you bump into me please don’t cry cause it’s gonna make me start crying," wrote Osaka.
