Naomi Osaka had to work hard to start with a victory in this Australian Open 2026, as she went to three sets against Antonia Ruzic (6-3, 3-6, 6-4). However, the Japanese player was already in the news before the match due to the outfit she wore to Rod Laver, hat included. An outfit of that style had never been seen before, and after her victory, she wanted to explain it: "This outfit is now iconic. Nike allowed me to design it. It is inspired by a jellyfish. I am very grateful to be able to do what I love. It's really beautiful. There is a butterfly on the hat. There is also a butterfly on the umbrella. It is related to the Australian Open that I won in 2021, which I guess was a long time ago," confessed the Japanese player, who always leaves no one indifferent.
