Naomi Osaka made a triumphant return to the US Open, defeating 10th-seeded Jelena Ostapenko 6-3, 6-2 in just over an hour. This victory marks her first top-10 win since January 2020, following her absence from the tournament last year due to maternity leave. Osaka's eye-catching outfit, designed by Yoon Ahn in collaboration with Nike, featured vibrant green and white colors inspired by Japanese subculture, specifically Harajuku fashion. The ensemble included a green tennis dress with a white stripe, ruffles, and bows, drawing significant attention on and off the court. Osaka expressed deep emotion and gratitude in her post-match interview, reflecting on her journey back to competitive tennis. She will face Karolina Muchová in the second round.
