Tennis player Naomi Osaka becomes world's top earning athlete
Japnese tennis star Naomi Osaka Becomes World's highest-paid female player
Japanese tennis star Naomi Osaka has become the world's most generously compensated
female competitor, uprooting US rival Serena Williams at the highest priority on the record.
As indicated by Forbes magazine, Osaka, 22, a double-cross Grand Slam champion, made
£30.7m in prize cash and supports in recent months.
That was £1.15m more than the sum earned by 38-year-old Williams.
Both broke the past single-year profit record of £24.4m set in 2015 by Russia's Maria Sharapova.
Since Forbes started following ladies' competitors' pay in 1990, tennis players have topped the
yearly rundown consistently.
Osaka, whose father was born in Haiti and whose mother is from Japan, is 29th on 2020
Forbes record of the world's 100 top-paid competitors, four spots in front of Williams, the
champion of 23 Grand Slam singles titles.
The total Forbes list, due to be disclosed one week from now, has not highlighted two ladies
since 2016, the magazine says.
The pair met in the 2018 US Open last with Osaka winning her first Grand Slam title in an exceptionally disputable match in which Williams was given three code infringement by the
umpire.
The Japanese at that point won the 2019 Australian Open, even though her structure has since plunged and she has tumbled from world number one to tenth on the WTA rankings.
Williams had been the world's most generously compensated female competitor in each of the previous four years, with Sharapova administering for the five years before that.
Osaka has been a well-known endorsement figure in Japan in the development of the now-delayed Tokyo Olympics, protecting rewarding arrangements with worldwide brands Nike, Nissan, and Yonex, among others.
