The Japanese tennis star stunned fans with a wide-brimmed hat, veil, and white umbrella before defeating Croatia's Antonia Ruzic in a three-set match. Osaka explained her outfit was inspired by a jellyfish and a butterfly, referencing her 2021 Australian Open win. Earlier on the same court, defending champion Jannik Sinner advanced to the second round after Hugo Gaston retired during their match.
