Naomi Osaka says you’ll have to meet her at the 2024 Australian Open.

The 25-year-old tennis champ will spend this year welcoming her first child.

Osaka announced her pregnancy in a tweet on Wednesday; she has been dating rapper Cordae since 2019.

“I realize that life is so short and I don’t take any moments for granted, everyday is a new blessing and adventure,” Osaka wrote in a note attached to the post, which included an ultrasound photo. “I know that I have much to look forward to in the future, one thing I’m looking forward to is for my kid to watch one of my matches and tell someone, ‘that’s my mom,’ haha. 2023 will be a year that’ll be full of lessons for me and I hope I’ll see you guys in the start of the next one cause I’ll be at [Australian Open] 2024.”

Osaka is a two-time Australian Open champion, and she withdrew from the competition earlier this week.

Osaka is the highest paid female athlete at $51.1 million, according to Forbes.

Upon her return, she’ll be one of several pro tennis mothers competing on tour.
