Share London (AP) — Naomi Osaka had a new look to show off before winning her second-round match at Wimbledon. Osaka, whose fashion reveals have become an event of their own at Grand Slam tournaments, wore a less elaborate outfit for her walk-on than the “Kill Bill” inspired kimono she sported for her opening-round match on Monday. It still drew plenty of attention as she made the walk from the locker room to No. 2 Court, trailed by photographers and fans wanting to take their own photos. This all-white outfit featured a wide belt and a long train that trailed behind her, which the four-time major winner took off as she began warming up for her match against qualifier Anastasia Gasanova. She went on to quickly dispatch her opponent 6-3, 6-2.“I’m just trying to mix it up a little bit,” Osaka said about her outfit, adding she had been worried that a loss might have ruined her daughter Shai’s third birthday on Thursday. “I just wanted to be here for longer, I didn’t want to make her get on a plane on her birthday,” Osaka said. Osaka’s match was among the early starts on the outside courts as the second round got under way at Wimbledon. 2 MIN READ 1 MIN READ 4 MIN READ Later, defending men’s champion Jannik Sinner was set to play Nuno Borges in the first match on Centre Court.
