Naomi Osaka did not get to enjoy the Paris Olympics for long, as she lost to Angelique Kerber in the first round. However, she is already onto the Canadian Open, where she will face a tough competitor in Ons Jabeur.

While the 26-year-old handles her business on the court, she is also maintaining a brand off the court. Osaka is sponsored by Nike, Mastercard, and Louis Vuitton, among other prominent brands. Of the many promising young tennis players, she is most marketable.

But Osaka still wants a vibe shift on her social media. Osaka posted a picture of clothes, bags, jewelry, and Nike sneakers to her Instagram. She added the caption, "Making my IG into a page I would want to see so I'm going to start posting my outfit details and tags."

After missing significant time from playing over the past few years, many fans have been wondering what is next for the tennis superstar. Could she move on to the next phase of her career?

While Osaka certainly has the talent and knowledge to make the transition look seamless, it still seems highly unlikely. The former World No. 1 has made a strong return this year and provided glimpses of the potential she still possesses.

After the Canadian Open, Osaka will compete at the US Open in New York City. Two of her four Grand Slams came at the US Open.  Tennis fans can follow Sports Illustrated's Serve on SI for all the most important news from the sport and beyond.
