Naomi Osaka’s return to action highlights Olympic tennis

Naomi Osaka was going to be at the center of attention during the Tokyo Olympics no matter what. She is a tennis superstar who owns four Grand Slam titles and is the highest-earning female athlete in the world. And she represents Japan, giving the host country a good shot at a medal. Now she will be even more in the spotlight at these Summer Games because they will mark her return to competition after nearly two months away because she wanted to take a mental health break. Osaka pulled out of the French Open and then sat out Wimbledon, too.
