Lately, Naomi Osaka hasn't been the most active player in terms of participating in WTA tournaments, but she's certainly been active elsewhere.
The four-time Grand Slam champion co-founded the agency Evolve earlier this year and it already has some prominent members. Previously, Nick Kyrgios joined the agency and now, world no. 2, Ons Jabeur also joined forces with Osaka.
"Ons is an ideal Evolve client. As an Arab woman from Africa, she is a trailblazer and a truly captivating tennis player. Her influence extends beyond sports and into wider culture. Her impact on the Middle East and beyond is transformative," Evolve founder Stuart Duguid said.
The Japanese player even included a mini story, which reads: “I first met Ons at the WTA Rising Stars event in 2015 and my immediate thought while interacting with her was, ‘Wow she’s the nicest person I’ve ever met,’" Osaka wrote. “I was extremely shy so all I could ever do was mumble out a few words but she always came up to me, cracked jokes and made me feel more comfortable."
"Even now when we play the same tournaments she still does the same. Over the years watching her rise through the tour and become the star that she is has been incredibly joyful to watch and I can’t wait to see her create more history and ascend even higher.”
