Four-time grand slam champion Naomi Osaka wins first title since becoming a mother
- Naomi Osaka secured her first tournament victory following motherhood by overcoming Kaja Juvan 6-1, 7-5 to claim the 2024 L'Open 35 de Saint-Malo title in France.
- After welcoming her daughter in July 2023, Osaka made her comeback to professional tennis early in 2024 and had previously taken time off to focus on her mental health.
- This victory marked Osaka's first clay-court title, coming despite her earlier assessment that clay was her worst surface, and she shared the win on X.
- At 27 years old, Osaka said, "I didn't feel like I'm in my body" while adjusting to post-motherhood tennis, and she believes "there's always room to grow and evolve."
- Osaka's recent victory will move her back into the top 50 in the world rankings for the first time since her return to professional tennis, and she is scheduled to participate in the WTA 1000 event in Italy starting Wednesday.
