Before and after her first-round victory at the U.S. Open, Naomi Osaka wore a mask bearing the name of Breonna Taylor, a Black woman who was fatally shot by police. It s just one of seven face coverings, each in honor of a different person, that Osaka brought to Flushing Meadows - the same number of wins it takes to claim a Grand Slam trophy. The world s highest-earning female athlete hopes she can get the chance to raise awareness about racial injustice by using each mask during her stay in New York. It s quite sad that seven masks isn t enough for the amount of names, so hopefully I ll get to the finals so you can see all of them, said Osaka, the champion at the 2018 U.S. Open and 2019 Australian Open.
