When Naomi Osaka walks onto the court at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Centre in Queens, New York, this week, she will be covered in bows.

One large bow is pinned like a pillowy prize to the back of her bomber jacket. Underneath her jacket, on the back of her competition dress, a smaller shiny bow rests on four tiers of ruffles. Two tiny bows are stuck to the backs of her shoes.
