OPINION
Over the weekend tennis legend Serena Williams and three-time grand slam winner Naomi Osaka both headed into the quarter-finals of the Australian Open. While both their matches were riveting to watch, what was even more exciting for me was to see two proud Black women (Osaka is of biracial Haitian and Japanese heritage) showcasing the peak of women s tennis.
As someone who grew up watching homogeneously white people playing tennis at the grand slam level, seeing these women hitting it out made me feel proud to be a fan of the sport. Not least, because my own children who are biracial like Osaka, are starting to become more interested in tennis - both playing it as a sport and watching it as spectators. There s nothing like having role models who also look like you, to encourage you to push yourself further in your field of interest.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) After Jessica Pegula earned her first trip to a Grand Slam quarterfinal, the daughter of the owners of Buffalo’s NFL and NHL franchises scribbled on the screen of an Australian Open courtside TV camera: “hi mom, hi dad, see you next rd Jen B.”
In addition to a shoutout to her parents, that was a message for Jennifer Brady, a good pal of Pegula’s whose fourth-round match was up next in Rod Laver Arena today.
And after Brady won, too, setting up an all-American matchup against Pegula with a berth in the final four at stake, she used a blue marker to respond in kind, writing: “Bring it Jess!”
