Osaka's speeches lit the Olympic torch tonight (Friday).

The Japanese tennis player's game, which was supposed to take place on Saturday, was surprisingly postponed to Sunday without any explanation and was replaced by Iga's game at Biontek.

Hypotheses immediately spoke of Osaka taking part in the opening ceremony of the tournament, and so it was when she received the torch, lit the fire and thus actually got the games in Tokyo underway.

Osaka became the first tennis player ever to light the Olympic torch at the opening ceremony of the Games.
