Naomi Osaka poses in stunning all-black outfit amid break-up with boyfriend Cordae

4-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka has stunned in a series of pictures on Instagram, days after an impressive runner-up finish at the ASB Classic in Auckland, New Zealand. The Japanese tennis star posed for the snaps at the Waiheke Island, a scenic tourist attraction located around 20 km from Auckland.

Osaka was making a comeback to the tour following a 15-month maternity break. She reaped rich dividends at last week's ASB Classic in Auckland, making it all the way to the final.

Despite winning the first set 6-4 against Danish World No. 41 Clara Tauson, the former World No. 1 was forced to retire in tears with an abdominal injury in the decider. Despite the heartback, she has risen to No. 50 in the world after climbing 8 rungs in this week's rankings.

She later reflected that it was "definitely really important" for her to make the final, her first since 2022. She said in the post-match interview:

“It was definitely really important. I’m happy to get through to the final . I’ve actually never gotten to the final of a tournament the week before Melbourne. This is a career first for me . I think in my head I’m really happy there are always things to improve and get better, no matter how old you are."

Days after the match, Osaka took to Instagram, sharing a few shots that featured soaking in the beautiful sights of Waiheke in a gorgeous attire.

"Wouldn’t be fair of me to leave without popping off a fit," she captioned the pictures.

The pictures feature the Japanese athlete posing in several picturesque locations in the island wearing an all-black fit. She wore a Nike hoodie over an ankle-length black dress, with a pair of chic glasses to complete the look.

The development comes against the backdrop of Naomi Osaka announcing her split from rapper Cordae, her partner of 6 years, and father to her daughter Shai.

Announcing the split in an Instagram story, Osaka wrote, “No bad blood at all, [Cordae is] a great person and an awesome dad. Honestly really glad our paths [crossed] because my daughter is my biggest blessing and I was able to grow a lot from our experiences together."

The couple first met in 2019 at a Los Angeles Clippers game and entered into a relationship later the same year.

Ever since making her return to the tour in early 2024, Naomi Osaka has been inching closer to the imperious form that saw her clinch 4 Majors and reach No. 1 in the rankings.

The highlight of her season arguably came at the French Open 2024, where she lost a close second-round match to three-time winner and World No. 1 Iga Swiatek despite holding match point. On October 21, Osaka announced that she would be ending her season early due to a back injury.

Despite her injury woes, the 27-year-old Japanese is expected to compete at the Australian Open, where she has won twice (2019 and 2021).
