Osaka has made progress since returning in last year's Australian Open. She won two matches in both the Australian Open and Wimbledon this year, has earned $725,727 in prize money and reached the No. 49 spot in the WTA rankings, with a higher ranking likely on the way by making the final.

Victoria Mboko won the Canadian Open title after beating four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka 2-6, 6-4, 6-1 in the final on Thursday, August 7.
