TENNIS PLAYER NAOMI OSAKA TO DONATE PRIZE MONEY TO HAITIAN EARTHQUAKE RELIEF EFFORTS

The four-time grand slam tennis player says she is going to give all her proceeds from the WTA Tour's upcoming Cincinnati event to the earthquake victims in Haiti who were rocked by a devastating 7.2-magnitude quake on Saturday.

The 7.2 magnitude earthquake has killed more than 700 people and injured nearly 2,000.


"Really hurts to see all the devastation that's going on in Haiti, and I feel like we really can't catch a break," Osaka, a four time Grand Slam champion, said on social media. "I'm about to play a tournament this week and I'll give all the prize money to relief efforts for Haiti. I know our ancestors blood is strong we'll keep rising."

Osaka, who is of Haitian and Japanese descent, is ranked number two in the world and last played in the Tokyo Olympics, where she lost in the third round to Marketa Vondrousova.
