The four-time Grand Slam champion has reunited with former coach Wim Fissette and is gearing up what she hopes will be a competitive comeback in 2024.

Osaka posted her practice video a week after fellow former No. 1 Rafael Nadal shared some of his training from the Rafa Nadal Academy in Marlloca.

If health holds up, we could see a trio of former world No. 1 players—Osaka, Nadal and Angelique Kerber, who is also practicing after giving birth to her first child–back on court Down Under this coming January.
