Naomi Osaka wore an epic outfit as she defeated Jelena Ostapenko in the first round of the US Open – and the four-time major champion explained the inspiration behind her attire.
Naomi Osaka caught the eye with an epic outfit in her first US Open match
Naomi Osaka dazzled fans with her extraordinary outfit as she breezed into the second round of the US Open, dishing out a straight sets defeat to No. 10 seed Jelena Ostapenko.
The former champion, known for her powerful game and fashion statements on court, sported an eye-catching light green bow and white skirt covering that caught the eye the moment she stepped out into Louis Armstrong Stadium.
Emerging victorious over Ostapenko in a convincing 6-3 6-2 match, Osaka sent a clear signal that she’s back at her best despite recent struggles with form after taking time out for her pregnancy and to focus on her mental health.
Osaka, who has twice been crowned queen of the US Open shared the inspiration behind her self-titled “super suit”. She believes her bespoke tennis attire offers her an additional layer of strength to conquer opponents – a sentiment clearly mirrored by her commanding performance against Ostapenko.
Delving into how her outfit boosts her on-court prowess, Osaka said: “Well, I chose the color like at least a year ago. I definitely love to be involved in everything I do, whether it’s fashion or anything else.
Osaka’s outfit did the trick as she won in straight sets
“But I feel like being able to be a part of my tennis outfits gives me, I would say, a different strength. Especially the US Open outfits, I feel like they are a little bit more flamboyant. When I was putting on my outfit today, I was, like, ah, I hope this isn’t too much.
“Because I had the tutu and then I had the bow jacket and it was green, I feel like everyone was staring at me funny. And then I put the headphones on, that was a real killer.
“I was, like, you know what, embrace this maximalist style. And then it made me feel better, another player came up to me and asked to take a picture. I hope it was a positive picture, it wasn’t, like, ‘Oh, my God, look at her.'”.
“Yeah, I think for me when I put on the outfit it’s almost like a super suit, so I try to channel that.”
Osaka also hinted at how she might draw power from her outfit in the second round by unveiling another new look. She added: “I do remember thinking, like, I need to win this match so I can wear my other color. That was very important to me.”
“Yeah, I guess you’ll see my other colour next time”. There will no doubt be a lot of fans waiting with interest to see what her next fashion statement entails
