👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽 Black woman journo here who has covered multiple Grand Slams, including an ESPN Magazine cover story on Naomi Osaka and many pieces on the Williams sisters: I am available for commissions on Serena and Wimbledon! I was there for her final US Open match. I ask great questions!

for her wimbledon 2026 entrance, naomi osaka wore "evolving ceremony", a design by japanese creator hana yagi that reimagines the traditional kimono through upcycled vintage pieces, a classic shiromuku bridal gown, and a deconstructed wedding dress

Wimbledon's strict rules about all-white clothing didn't prevent Naomi Osaka from making another fashion statement as she walked onto the grass at the All England Club.

I am obsessed with Naomi Osaka’s style. Every look, combined with her steely swagger, absolutely slays.

Naomi Osaka walked into the hallowed grounds of the All England Club and said oh you revere tradition and history? That's cute. I'll show you tradition and history. www.vogue.co.uk/article/naom...

Naomi Osaka wins 6-1, 7-5 vs Elsa Jacquemot After retiring in the Bad Homburg final there was concerns fitness wise for Naomi but that's a good scoreline for her opener. 📸 Jimmie48/WTA Tour

I love how Naomi Osaka uses her free will. Like, yes, please do walk onto a #Wimbledon 🎾 court in a kimono inspired by the O-ren Ishii character in Kill Bill... just because you want to 😍

Osaka Shakes it Off There were big question marks around Naomi Osaka even playing Wimbledon this year after retiring in the final of Bad Homburg this weekend. But, playing the best grasscourt tennis of her career, the 4-time slam champ powers past Elsa Jacquemot, 6-1, 7-5.

The way the announcer says "Japanese inspired... Geisha inspired.... Kimono inspired...." Like Naomi Osaka isn't deadass Japanese is ticking me

Hats off to Naomi Osaka: “…she wanted to honour Wimbledon’s all-white tradition, as well as her Japanese heritage, but Quentin Tarantino’s cult film Kill Bill also helped inspire the final design…” “I remembered absolutely falling in love with Lucy Liu’s character. She has an all-white kimono…”

Agreed and when you consider that some of japan’s most recognizable celebrities are Black - it’s why we make manga with black protagonists like CLOCK STRIKER. Glad to see Suzuki, Rui Hachimura (Lakers) Naomi Osaka, & more! Hoping for a Japan win today!
