Reply to comment by Repulsive-Toe-8826 in Naomi Osaka announces pregnancy, indicates she won't play in 2023. by PrincessBananas85

Women’s tennis is not as visible as men’s tennis, but there’s a reason why tennis is the highest paid sport for women. To say Osaka has no reach is utterly laughable and downright wrong. She’s one of the most recognizable female athletes in the world.

She's rich because she represents 2 rich countries - but she's in no way global enough to sell some mundane crap like Sodastream on billboards. That's global.

I see where you're coming from, you're just overstating her "globalness". There are plenty of countries where people would just go "Osaka who?"

No, you seem to be massively understating her global popularity and reach. She’s in a ton of commercials. You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about.

So you are saying that she is rich because she is American Japanese? Where do I collect my cheque?
