YONEX, YONEX TENNIS RACKET

2025

Presented in this lot is the Yonex Ezone 98 racket used and signed by Naomi Osaka during her 2025 US Open semifinal match vs. Amanda Anisimova at Arthur Ashe Stadium on September 4, 2025.


In a dramatic three-set contest, Anisimova defeated Osaka with a final score of 6-7 (4-7), 7-6 (7-3), 6-3 to advance to the championship match. While Osaka ultimately fell short, the semifinal represented a significant return to the sport’s biggest stage. Showcasing her trademark power and competitive resolve, Osaka thrilled the New York crowd with commanding serves and heavy groundstrokes, reminding the tennis world of her status as a four-time Grand Slam champion.


This signed racquet stands as a rare and historic artifact from Osaka’s 2025 comeback campaign, a match that underscored both her resilience and enduring impact on the game.


The racket was secured on-site and authenticated by a Sotheby’s representative immediately following the match.


The racket has been photomatched by PSA.
