Naomi Osaka takes her Aussie Open trophy to Brighton Beach

Twenty-one-year-old Naomi Osaka won her second consecutive Grand Slam title at the Australian Open and on Sunday morning the youngster enjoyed a Brighton Beach photoshoot with her Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup.

After overcoming Petra Kvitova in the mouth-watering final, Osaka became the first player from Japan to reach the No.1 ranking.

Osaka took her giant trophy for a stroll in the picturesque setting of Melbourne’s Brighton Beach. Remember, the first Asian Grand Slam champion Li Na, who presented the trophies to the Australian Open finalists this year, also posed for photographers with her 2014 Australian Open trophy on the Brighton Beach.
