Her return to the Brisbane International and the Australian Open was a significant moment for fans who had eagerly awaited her comeback. Despite not clinching a trophy and being knocked out in the first round of the Open, Osaka expressed her joy at being back on the court and pledged to return to Melbourne in 2025. Comparing her recent demeanor to a year earlier, when she withdrew from the French Open to prioritize her mental health, it is evident that Osaka has undergone a transformative journey. Her decision to focus on her well-being sparked important conversations about mental health in sports and served as an inspiration for other athletes, such as Simone Biles and Chloe Kim, to prioritize their mental wellness. Additionally, Osaka has been actively involved in various business ventures, including founding Kinlò, a skin-care brand catering to individuals with darker skin tones, co-founding Evolve, a talent agency representing fellow tennis stars, and establishing Hana Kuma, a production company that has produced impactful projects. Furthermore, Osaka is the driving force behind Play Academy, an organization that offers grants and training to girls in Los Angeles, Haiti, and Japan, ensuring they have the resources to participate in sports.
