Looking back on the season, Naomi Osaka certainly showed that we can take a lot of positives from her game. This year, the 28-year-old Japanese tennis player proved that she has a great foundation to return to the top of the WTA ranking. The semi-finalof the US Open is certainly the brightest moment of her season, but there were many tournaments where she caused positive reactions from fans and experts.
The Japanese tennis player has clear goals for the coming year, but her primary focus is to get back to winning ways and be as dominant as she once was. Through social media, she sent a message to all the people who support her, saying that when she draws a line and looks back on this season, it is filled with positive emotions.
Osaka is most grateful that the injuries did not follow her as much as usual, but she is also grateful that she can travel and see the world with her daughter.

Took me a while to get my thoughts together, but heres my end-of-year recap for 2025.
When I sit and think about it I just feel very thankful this year. Im thankful for the people Ive encountered along the way, though our paths might lead in different directions, I will always appreciate the times we had together.
Im also thankful for being relatively injury-free this year (haha, I thought about it, and I was injured at the beginning and end of the season), anyways, Im thankful for my health and being able to wake up each day ready to chase my dreams.
Im also grateful for being able to travel and see the world with my daughter. Im so honoured that I have such amazing people that support me. I always say this, but I really mean it each time. I dont know what I did to deserve all this love and support, but thank you infinitely for it.

Naomi Osaka's future
As a tennis player who has won several Grand Slam titles, the 28-year-old Osaka believes that she can also win major trophies in the future.
Next year could be another big step for her, considering she has already had some strong performances in top tournaments. How much she will actually achieve and how far she can go, only time will tell.
Naomi Osaka reached world number one in 2019, after winning the 2018 US Open and the 2019 Australian Open. She has managed to stay at the top on several occasions, but 2019 was perhaps her brightest year yet. Fans are hoping she can regain her form and be as dominant as she was then.
