Naomi Osaka hesitantly embraces dresses and heels while revealing where her heart is at

Naomi Osaka has shared that she is trying to wear more dresses and heels, but her love for street-style clothing remains strong. Osaka has emerged as a fashion icon and is among the most stylish women’s tennis players on the Tour.

Osaka, a former World No. 1, has had a challenging season thus far. She began the year by reaching the ASB Classic final, which was her first time making the final of a tournament since her maternity break, but an abdominal injury forced her to pull out of the summit clash.

The injury re-surfaced at the Australian Open, where she had to retire mid-way during her clash against Belinda Benci in the third round. The American, now ranked 56 in the world, took a break before making a surging run at the Miami Open, where she reached the round of 16.

The four-time Grand Slam champion will look for her first title in the upcoming claycourt season. She has already begun training for the Madrid Open, which is set to begin on April 21. Ahead of the tournament, Osaka posted on her Thread account about how she was trying to embrace a different style of fashion.

“Challenging myself to wearing more dresses and heels but street style keeps calling my name 🥲” she wrote.
