Naomi Osaka is playing her best tennis on clay and has reached her first round of 16 at Roland Garros. The Japanese player seems to have found some consistency in her game. While people focus on her outfits, she progresses through rounds and threatens Aryna Sabalenka, her next opponent.

Regarding the Belarusian, her different outfits, her great level of play in Paris, and the fact that Rafa Nadal mentioned to her something that changed her perspective of Roland Garros, she talked about it in her press conference after her victory in a thrilling match against Iva Jovic with a score of 7-6(5), 6-7(3), 7-5.

Naomi Osaka and a fact from Nadal that is helping her at Roland Garros 2026

"I keep thinking about a statistic that Tomasz Wiktorowski told me. I don't know if it's exact, but it has helped me a lot. He told me that Nadal won 98% of his matches here, but he only won approximately 50% of the points. That made me think that I don't need to win every point, just fight for each point and try to make it fall on my side."

Confesses her great form

"Yes, I definitely feel that way. Especially on this surface. In the past, I usually got injured in Stuttgart and then I practically limped here. Now, I've been feeling pretty good. Obviously, I got injured in Australia, and the American tour wasn't the best for me. But I set the goal to do very well on clay and grass. I don't want this to be my last round. I want to keep advancing. I just want to focus on each match."

About the origin of each outfit with Nike

"I have a lot of meetings with Nike, and I think people don't realize the time and effort they put into each outfit. They plan it at least a year and a half in advance. We have many tests during the year because your weight can vary, or the fabric can change a bit. There is a lot of work behind all of this. If you ask the exact number of tests, I would say at least four."

She will face Sabalenka

"Honestly, I don't know. I hadn't even realized it. Let whatever happens happen. I think I played a very good match against her in Madrid. I feel like I lowered my level in the second and third set. I hope to maintain consistency and keep being aggressive."

Fashion is part of her DNA

"I can't disconnect from fashion; it's part of who I am. I don't feel like I have to turn something on or off when I play. It's my way of expressing myself. In fact, right now, it would seem weirder to me to play in a normal tennis outfit. I think it's part of the fun. For a long time, I didn't enjoy playing, and you all know that stage of my life. Now I want everything to be fun and exciting for me."

Not concerned about not playing in the night session

"The truth is, I'm pretty calm about it. I don't care much about the court or the schedule. I don't know. I understand that sometimes they think that certain matches are more 'popcorn-worthy,' but I'm so used to not playing night sessions here and playing them at the US Open, for example, that I don't even associate Roland Garros with night games."

Regarding the support of Tomasz Wiktorowski

"He doesn't give me specific advice for clay. Obviously, he tells me which shots work better on this surface, but he doesn't come with a clay manual. He talks more about my game and what he would like me to do. He gives me a lot of freedom."

Hails the high level of Iva Jovic

"I also think that one of the reasons why I was so calm is that I knew she was young. Young players are among the most dangerous because they are not afraid and just go out to play. I knew she was a great player, and I hoped that my experience could show up at some moments, and I think it did. She is a great player, and I look forward to watching her play many more matches on the circuit," said Naomi Osaka, who is starting to show her potential at this Roland Garros.
