Voting for the 2019 ESPYS is now open, and WTA No. 1 Naomi Osaka is leading the way among tennis players, with nominations in three different categories.

Most notably, Osaka is up for Best Breakthrough Athlete, in recognition of her back-to-back Grand Slam titles, at the US Open and Australian Open. She's up against New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley, Milwaukee Brewers right fielder Christian Yelich and Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young.

Osaka is also in the running for Best Upset, for her US Open final versus Serena Williams, which she won, 6-2, 6-4, in just an hour and 19 minutes.

Last, Osaka is nominated for Best Female Tennis Player, alongside Serena, Simona Halep and Petra Kvitova.

The Best Male Tennis Player category, meanwhile, features Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and—a dark horse—Stefanos Tsitsipas.
