Om den ödmjuka men frispråkiga tennisstjärnan.

Netflix har nu delat med sig av en trailer för deras kommande dokumentärserie om tennisstjärnan Naomi Osaka. Med regi av Oscars-vinnaren Garrett Bradley och LeBron James som exekutiv producent får vi i tre delar följa stjärnans succékarriär som bland annat lett till fyra Grand Slam-singeltitlar.

Om handlingen går att läsa:

“With unprecedented access, we follow Osaka during a historic two years in which she works on her game but also begins to find her voice. Whether she’s defending her grand slam titles —while wearing masks in defense of Black lives — mourning the unexpected loss of mentor Kobe Bryant, or finding her independence, the challenges Naomi faces on a personal level begin to align with those in the public sphere. Empathetic in its approach, the series chronicles Osaka’s hectic training and travel schedule, explores the layers of pressure she is under and reveals how she spends her time off the court hanging with her closest family and friends. The episodes also travel the globe with Osaka to further explore her Haitian roots as well as examine her deep connection to Japan, the country she represents. Viewers will witness Naomi’s unapologetic honesty and vulnerability as she navigates her multifaceted identity as a young athlete and leader on the rise.”

Osaka, som också är partner till rapparen Cordae, har de senaste två åren blivit allt mer frispråkig och många gånger stått upp för orättvisor i samhället. Något som hon utvecklat med tiden.

“I feel like the platform that I have right now is something that I used to take for granted, and for me I feel like I should be using it for something. I believe, instead of following, you have to make your own path”, säger hon själv i ett uttalande.
