Schedule planned by Naomi Osaka to return to best by US Open with eye also on Olympic Games
WTA
Japan’s tennis star Naomi Osaka is eying success at the Summer Olympics in 2024. The former world number one recently returned to the court after a break of more than one year at the Brisbane International.
Osaka was recently quoted in a report where she stated that she is eying some big success in the mega-event set to take place in the summer.
"I would love to do something important at the Olympic Games, but I know that this is a process and I have to go little by little,” she said. “I want to think tournament by tournament and I have designed a schedule that allows me to play as many matches as possible be back to the pace of the competition.
“At the end of it all, if anything goes wrong, I know I can count on myself to have a really good end of the year, like towards the US Open."
The 26-year-old started the Brisbane International in style as she outclassed Germany’s Tamara Korpatsch in straight sets in the round of 64 with a score of 6-3, 7-6.
The four-time Grand Slam winner is now set to face off the current world number 39 the Czech Republic’s Karolina Pliskova in the round of 32 on Tuesday.

- That was a hideous display. Condescending Collins is no friend to tennis. She said she was retiring and should follow through. Sooner the better for the sport. BTW: As I read it in the WTA Rulebook 2025, it seems she broke at least two regulations in her post-match childish behavior. BTW: There are reasons she has no sponsors... and she displayed several of those reasons today.mandoist16-01-2025
