Naomi Osaka Autographed & Inscribed Sports Illustrated Cover Print 2020 “Sportsperson of the Year” 15½x20

The year 2020 was quite a year for Naomi Osaka. After struggling early on in the year Osaka would play in the Cincinnati Open in late August, facing four players each ranked in the 20s and defeating them all to advance to the final before defaulting against Victoria Azarenka due to a hamstring injury. The following week she would play in the US Open where she would again not lose a single match she played. Facing Victoria Azarenka in the final for the second straight tournament she would not be denied this time defeating Azarenka 1-6, 6-3, 6-3. This would be Osaka’s second US Open title in three years. She would end 2020 on top as this would be the last tournament she would play in the year due to the hamstring injury.
