It’s unnecessary to put into context how good Naomi Osaka is at tennis. Great, actually.

Osaka is a three-time Grand Slam champion currently ranked No. 3 in the world. Her breakout moment came at the 2018 US Open when she defeated Serena Williams in the final for her first title. The 23-year-old passed Williams earlier this year as the highest-paid female athlete in the world.

Yet her boyfriend, the rapper Cordae, apparently still thought he could win a match against the star.

“That worked out well. That was fantastic,” Osaka says, dripping in sarcasm, to close a TikTok video that goes about as well as you might expect it to go.
