Tennis star Naomi Osaka is taking a page out of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James' book and starting an agency. Osaka left her previous agency, IMG, with the intention of starting her own agency, called EVOLVE, according to Sportico.
The move isn't unprecedented for athletes, though it's rare. Kevin Durant, Roger Federer, James and Greg Norman are among the athletes to launch their own agencies and companies. With the move, Osaka will become the "first female athlete at that level to take full control of her business endeavors and attempt to build an agency," per Sportico.
