Tokito Oda

Tokito Oda is the athlete who excites me most in Japan right now. Still a teenager, he became the youngest man in the Open Era to win a major by taking the 2023 French Open, then added Paralympic gold in Paris to complete a career Golden Slam. Those numbers read like fiction. What moves me even more is how he presents wheelchair tennis: not as a story of hardship but as a genuinely thrilling, cool sport on its own terms. At this age, with this record, the ceiling is frightening. I feel privileged to watch a future world No. 1 just getting started.
