Even in the celestial constellations of all-time tennis greats, there's never been a star who has risen quite like Naomi Osaka. Matching next level talent with a commitment to speaking out on the issues that affect her, she truly represents the best of what a professional athlete can be. Which is why the announcement of an upcoming three-part Netflix documentary detailing her rise has got us all in our feels.

Well, that and the trailer of course. Boasting "unprecedented" access, Naomi Osaka (directed by Academy Award-nominee Garret Bradley and produced by none other than LeBron James) charts an emotional journey of Osaka's past two years – a whirlwind that has seen the star defend gram slam titles, become the face of a new mould of activist, and boldly question the narrative of athlete's mental health at press events. But as the trailer shows, the documentary will also shed a light on her family history in Haiti and Japan and the importance it continues to play in her life both on and off the court.
