Osaka Triumphs 6-4, 6-3 to Secure Fourth Grand Slam Crown at 23
In a year marked by uncertainty and disruption due to the pandemic, Naomi Osaka has remained a constant beacon of excellence, once again proving her greatness under pressure. On February 20, 2021, the 23-year-old Japanese star claimed her second Australian Open title with a straight-sets victory over Jennifer Brady, 6-4, 6-3, marking her fourth Grand Slam win.
Osaka’s achievements have been nothing short of remarkable. She became the first woman since Monica Seles in 1991 to win her first four Grand Slam finals, and the seventh woman in the Open era to save match point on her way to an Australian Open title. Her fourth-round comeback against Garbiñe Muguruza, where she saved match point and hit zero unforced errors in the final stretch, was a key moment in her title run.
With 21 consecutive wins and a remarkable 33-2 record in hard court Grand Slams since 2018, Osaka continues to redefine her place in tennis history, and her resilience remains a testament to her mental strength and ability to thrive under pressure.
