US EditionFormer No. 1 Naomi Osaka takes first title in 4 years and her first on clay
- On May 4, 2025, Naomi Osaka captured her first clay-court title by defeating Kaja Juvan 6-1, 7-5 to win a WTA 125-level event held in Saint-Malo, France.
- Osaka's victory follows a return to tennis in early 2024 after becoming a mother in July 2023 and after recent struggles with injuries and a first-round loss at the Madrid Open.

- Osaka reflected on social media that it was quite surprising to secure her first title since returning on a court surface she once considered her weakest, underscoring her progress and adaptability.
- This victory represents Osaka's first tournament win following her 2021 Australian Open triumph, though it is not counted as an official WTA Tour title because the event was classified as a Challenger-level competition, reflecting steady progress in her return to the sport.
