Li Na believes Naomi Osaka will master multiple majors. Li, who made history as the first Asian Grand Slam singles champion, says the 20-year-old Osaka will win multiple Grand Slam titles if her desire is strong.

Osaka defeated 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams, 6-2, 6-4, to win her maiden major at last month’s US Open. The fourth-ranked Osaka, who celebrates her 21st birthday on October 16th, withdrew from this week’s Hong Kong Open to protect a back strain. Osaka took treatment for a lower back strain during her 6-4, 6-4, Beijing semifinal loss to Anastasija Sevastova. Photo credit: Dan Huerlimann/Beelde Images ]]>
