What we do know is that Naomi Osaka at this point is #10 on the ESPN's 2019 list of most famous women athletes -- posted by cruzceleste.
What caught my eye about the women's list, and on the subject of what sports are popular in different countries, is the number 4 most famous female athlete in the world: Indian badminton player Saina Nehwal.
There is also a second Indian badminton player, P.V. Sindhu at #18.
I guess women's badminton is big in India and india is a big country. (Indian chess player, former world champion Viswanathan Anand is also icon.)
