TW Book Club - 'Naomi Osaka' with Ben Rothenberg - her story, sister and Serena

On today's TW Book Club, we speak with author, sportswriter and host of 'No Challenges Remaining' podcast, Ben Rothenberg, about his new book 'Naomi Osaka: Her Journey to Finding her Power and Her Voice'.

Join us in this far-reaching discussion as we explore the immediate parallels with her idol Serena Williams, the sacrifices her family put themselves through to get her to the top and the challenges that faced older sister Mari in the pursuit of becoming a tennis star against the backdrop of sibling rivalry.

We also take a whistle stop trip through some of Naomi's most epic matches on the WTA tour and Grand Slams triumphs including her surprising rivalry with Madison Keys. Ben also reveals his verdict on the Osaka comeback, why he thinks Iga Swiatek and Novak Djokovic will win the Australian Open and as usual tells us how he likes his tea!

You can purchase 'Naomi Osaka: Her Journey to Finding her Power and Her Voice' on Amazon and at all good book stores: https://amzn.to/3vxIpbh
