A break into the top 100 was achieved after she beat the then no.18 ranked Sara Errani in the Miami Open, after earning an entry as a wildcard. And, in the same year Osaka reached her first WTA final at the Pan Pacific Open. As a result Osaka broke into the top 50.

She then carried her form on to the 2019 Australian Open, showing her dominance on hard court. Osaka beat a resilient Petra Kvitova in the final to clinch her second Grand Slam title.
She didn’t have much success in the later part of 2019 nor in the major part of 2020, before she won the 2020 US Open. This time she beat Victoria Azarenka after being a set down.
