Description

On today's book club, we speak with author, sportswriter and host of the 'No Challenges Remaining' podcast, Ben Rothenberg, about his new book 'Naomi Osaka: Her Journey to Finding her Power and Her Voice'. Ben talks about the key themes of the book including the parallels between Naomi's story and her idol Serena Williams'. How the Osaka family put everything into Naomi and her sister Mari's tennis careers by following the Williams model and why Mari Osaka may not have emulated the success of Venus Williams but she achieved more than many tennis siblings...names will be named! We also take a whistle stop tour through some of Naomi's most epic matches on the WTA tour and Grand Slams triumphs including a surprising rivalry that might have gone under the radar with Madison Keys.Ben also reveals his verdict on the Naomi comeback, why he thinks Iga Swiatek and Novak Djokovic will win the Australian Open and as usual tells us how he likes his tea!
