Osaka's Olympic Quest Reignited with BJK Cup Return
Four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka is making a highly anticipated return to the BJK Cup this week, reigniting her quest for an Olympic berth at the Paris 2024 Games. The former world number one, who took a break from tennis after giving birth to her first child last year, has been named in Japan’s team to face Kazakhstan in a qualifying tie in Tokyo.
This marks Osaka’s first appearance in the prestigious team competition since February 2020, meaning she has not fulfilled the obligation of playing two ties in the current Olympic cycle.
