Tennis players Rafael Nadal and Naomi Osaka picked up the Laureus Sportsman and Sportswoman of the Year awards on Thursday with football star Mo Salah and Formula One World champion Lewis Hamilton also recognised. World No. 2 Nadal claimed his fourth award as he was recognised for his 13th French Open and record-equalling 20th Major. Osaka, who won the US Open for the second time and has four Majors, is now a two-time Laureus winner. “Winning the French Open and equalling the 20th Grand Slam of Roger Federer has been an unforgettable moment,” said Nadal. “It means a lot to equal my great rival, but at the same time, my great friend.”More Related News
