"I can't wait!" - Serena Williams eagerly anticipates Naomi Osaka's return to tennis

With Naomi Osaka's return to the tennis courts imminent, it appears not only fans but competitors are stoked to have the Japanese superstar back in action.
Caught by TMZ reporters over the weekend, WTA legend Serena Williams was asked how she felt about Osaka nearing a return to the WTA circuit.
"Oh my goodness," exclaimed Williams. "It's gonna be amazing. I can't wait."
Osaka has been away from the sport, as the 24-year old opted to take a break from tennis to focus on her mental health after the 2021 US Open. However, the former World No.1 has been making strides to return, recently releasing some photos of herself on the practice courts in preparation for her comeback.
As the 2022 Australian Open draws closer, it would be a delight to have both ladies competing again on tour. Williams has not played since injuring her hamstring at Wimbledon in June, but has hinted at a return in Melbourne in January.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
