   Now, in September, after winning the U.S. Open for a second time,

   Osaka was asked by the ESPN analyst Tom Rinaldi to explain why

   she had entered each of her seven matches wearing a face mask

   bearing the name of a Black victim of racist violence.

 

   “What was the message you wanted to send?” Rinaldi asked Osaka.

    widespread backlash from Japanese people who viewed the issue

   as an outsider’s cause.

   watching me play tennis.”
