June 1, 2023,
Fairytale stories often have happy endings.
Some time ago, in a land far away, tennis super star Naomi Osaka played in a professional tennis tournament.
It was not the 2023 Australian Open Grand Slam, because we were looking for her.
Everywhere.
Didn’t see her.
Here, in part, is why she wasn’t there.
As posted by sportingnews.com, “Tennis Australia were the first to announce that Osaka had withdrawn from the first Grand Slam tournament of the year. Osaka herself later revealed the primary reason behind her absence, sharing that she is pregnant with her first child.”
Still, this incredible talent is so financially brilliant that she continues to make more news off the courts, through financial endorsements, than she did on the courts, in 2023.
The informative news and information source justwomenssports.com, “Naomi Osaka has once again topped the list of highest-paid female athletes, bringing in $57.3 million last year, according to Forbes. Osaka’s tumultuous year on-the-court showed, with her winnings down to just $2.3 million from $5.2 million the year prior.”
Sounds like a magical dream. Fit for a princess.
Her partners keep lining up.
The team at about.fb.com reports, “Get ready to serve new looks this summer, courtesy of Naomi Osaka. Today, the four-time Grand Slam champion and fashion and design enthusiast launches a collection of premium outfits she designed for the Meta Avatars Store. They’re available now on Instagram, Messenger, Facebook, and in VR.”
Very impressive.
Have you heard of them?
At their Facebook pages they express, “When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology.”
There is no better powerhouse global star that can help them move into the future than Naomi Osaka.
We will keep watching.
And we love to watch because Naomi is now partnering with another legend who has always turned heads.

Sounds like a fairytale.

I can’t wait for everyone to relax and enjoy wearing each and every one of these pieces,” said Naomi Osaka, Athlete, Equality Advocate and Victoria’s Secret Collective Partner.
“We are honored to have partnered and designed with Naomi on our first-ever collaboration with a Collective partner.
