Naomi Osaka is aiming to advance to the Wimbledon fourth round for the first time this Friday. The tennis star continues to captivate fans with her bold fashion choices at the All England Club. After debuting a traditional all-white kimono for her first match, the 28-year-old opted for a unique blend of styles on Wednesday. She wore a floral white jacket paired with a long train secured at the waist by an obi belt.
Her arrival on court drew significant attention from both spectators and photographers. Shortly after her entrance, Osaka secured a victory against Anastasia Gasanova, winning 6-3, 6-2 to reach the third round. Osaka credits her diverse inspiration to her upbringing and frequent trips to Japan, particularly noting the expressive fashion culture of Harajuku. She views her style as an ongoing experiment, noting that she prefers to try new looks regardless of the potential for failure.
Looking ahead, Osaka is set to play Daria Kasatkina in the third round. Meanwhile, world number one Aryna Sabalenka also progressed to the third round after defeating McCartney Kessler. Sabalenka shared a memorable moment with a young supporter who wore a replica of the player’s signature tiger tattoo. The top-ranked player expressed how much she values the opportunity to inspire younger generations.
