Naomi Osaka had punched her ticket for the Toray Pan Pacific Open final and fielded questions from the media about 10 minutes. Now, she had a question of her own. "Um, what is that on your phone?" she asked Ichika Shingyo from Nippon Broadcasting System, Inc.
The phone decoration in question was a cellphone strap toy featuring a variant design of Giorno Giovanna, a character from the anime "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure."
There was nothing bizarre about Osaka’s path, that adventure has been about as straight forward as it gets. As a matter of fact, she hasn’t been on the court too long either.
