Serena Williams’ childhood coach Rick Macci predicts Naomi Osaka will finish the 2024 season ranked inside the top-10. Osaka, 25, is currently ranked at No 441 in the world but she hasn’t played any tournaments this year. This month, former world No 1 Osaka welcomed her first child.
Now, four-time Grand Slam champion Osaka plans to start her preparation for a tennis comeback. Earlier this year, Osaka confirmed she would miss the entire 2023 season but said her intention was to return to play at the start of the 2024 season in Australia.

The wildcard is belief and hunger and I know she believes and is very motivated,” Macci wrote.
