Naomi Osaka, Allure’s August Covergirl

Naomi Osaka graces the cover of the August issue of Allure, where she’s profiled by Brennan Kilbane in a piece entitled "Naomi Osaka Wants to Win More than Anyone Else." In it Osaka dishes on her Japanese passport, beauty tips and divulges parts of her life story.Tennis Express
"My parents weren't exactly the richest, so what am I going to do?" she told Allure. "I'm not really the smartest. I've been playing tennis my whole life, you know? So there's nothing I can imagine myself doing. It's either I have to be the best or I'm going to be homeless."Osaka was photographed by Wai Lin Tse for the piece. Have a look at some of the snaps below.
