Serena Williams is one of the most successful athletes in the world. She is a 23-time Grand Slam champion who has relished at the top of the ranks for almost three decades. At 39-years-old, Williams has shown top-tier resilience to fight back and retain her spot in the charts. Further, the American’s chances to score a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam title creates much buzz.

In addition, Naomi Osaka stepped out of the shadows this season. She advocated to create awareness about the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement. Along with her activism, the Japanese also laid claim to her third Grand Slam title at the U.S Open. 

Recently, an interesting statistic made the rounds on Twitter. This stated the Top-10 most tweeted about female athletes in the year 2020 worldwide.

The first Asian player to receive the No.1 rank in singles, Osaka’s celebrity status has only sky rocketed. She has collaborated with numerous brands and will soon release a documentary on Netflix. What brought her to the forefront was her activism both on and off the court. With it, she became the most tweeted about female athlete in 2020.

Top 10 Female Athletes Mentioned on Twitter:

1. Naomi Osaka (Tennis)
2. Serena Williams (Tennis)
3. Megan Rapino (Football)

Moreover, Williams grabbed the second spot in this list. The possibility of her levelling up with Margaret Court creates some dense tension across the board. Even so, the American has lost her last four Grand Slam final appearances. 

Further, Maria Sharapova snagged the seventh spot in the list. The five-time Major title holder announced her retirement from the sport in February 2020. Even so, she has not remained behind-the-scenes. The Russian has taken the Architectural Design world by storm. In addition, Sharapova is constantly updating her followers about her visits across the world.
