Gaming brings back memories of growing up for Naomi Osaka

Gaming constituted a huge part of Japanese tennis star Naomi Osaka's childhood. As a kid, Osaka, a four-time Grand Slam champion, used to play games with her sister Mari.

Considering her passion for gaming, Epic Games chose the former World No.1 to design a series for them as a part of the Fortnite Icon Series.

"Gaming has always been such a huge part of my life. I like it because it brings back great memories of growing up with my sister and gaming together in the family home. Also, it is a great escapism for me as I have always been into gaming and fantasy-type storytelling," Osaka was quoted as saying by Tennis World USA.
