"There's a unique energy in my tennis outfits that makes me feel stronger, especially in my US Open attire. I thought, I hope it doesn't look too over-the-top," she joked, donning her headphones to stride onto the court. She later took off the jacket with the conspicuous loop on the back during play.
"Kobe's spirit never leaves me"
Triumphing in one of her greatest victories since her comeback to the professional tour as a mother this season, Osaka wept on the bench after beating world No. 10 Ostapenko. "This win and the electric atmosphere are indescribably meaningful to me," she expressed.
Following the game, she paid homage to the late basketball legend Kobe Bryant by sporting a jersey during her press conference. "I've worn his jerseys after matches and practices, simply because it's like he's still there with me," she reminisced, remembering when Bryant watched one of her US Open games.
