The partnership, which is expected to be announced in the coming days, promises to shake up the tennis landscape and send shockwaves through the sport.
According to sources close to the negotiations, Osaka and her new partner have been in talks for several weeks, with both parties said to be eager to join forces and create a dominant force on the court. The move is seen as a major coup for Osaka, who has struggled with injuries and form in recent years, while her new partner is widely regarded as one of the most talented and dedicated players in the sport.
The partnership is expected to be a game-changer for both players, with Osaka gaining a new level of support and guidance from her partner, while her new partner will benefit from Osaka’s experience and success at the highest level. The two players have a long history of competing against each other, with their rivalry dating back to their early days on the junior circuit.
“I’m thrilled to be joining forces with my longtime rival,” Osaka said in a statement. “We’ve had some incredible battles on the court over the years, and I’m excited to now be working together towards a common goal. I think we complement each other perfectly and I’m looking forward to seeing what we can achieve together.”
