Oddly enough, it was only a month ago Victoria Azarenka toppled Naomi Osaka Western & Southern Open — which was literally held at the same site as the US Open due to, you know, a global pandemic and the want to limit travel given everything happening in the world.
For those unaware, it’s a lot!
Also of note, outside a huge victory, is how Osaka used her platform. Whenever donning a face mask, it featured a victim of police brutality. Here’s a tweet from The Undefeated that highlights some of it:
Naomi Osaka brought seven face masks to the US Open.
Each mask highlights a different Black victim of racial injustice and police brutality.
– Breonna Taylor
– Elijah McClain
– Ahmaud Arbery
– Trayvon Martin
– George Floyd
– Philando CastileToday: Tamir Rice

According to Yahoo, the parents of both Trayvon Martin and Ahmaud Arbery thanked Osaka in a video for sending the message.
“I feel like I’m a vessel, at this point, in order to spread awareness. It’s not going to dull the pain, but hopefully I can help with anything that the need.” Osaka said after seeing the video.
Anyway, that’s the. The US Open is over and Naomi Osaka captures title over Victoria Azarenka.
