NEW YORK (Reuters) -Naomi Osaka turned heads on Tuesday, stepping on court in a dazzling crystal-encrusted red Nike outfit before dismantling Belgium's Greet Minnen 6-3, 6-4 to reach the U.S. Open second round at Flushing Meadows.
The twice champion made her Louis Armstrong Stadium entrance with an elaborate rose-adorned ponytail that she later ditched for practicality, but not before making a statement at the floodlit evening session.
