For the third consecutive Grand Slam, Osaka arrived at her first-round match with an exceptional fashion sense. On Tuesday, the four-time Grand Slam champion walked onto Court 3 at the All England Club wearing a flowing kimono with intricate embroidery and swinging sleeves. After defeating Elsa Jacquemot with a 6-1, 7-5 win, she revealed that the outfit was a homage to her Japanese culture and the Quentin Tarantino-directed martial arts film Kill Bill. “For me, my Japanese heritage means a lot. They say all white at Wimbledon, and I thought it would be really cool to come out in a kimono. I just get inspired by a lot of different things, and for me, one of my favourite movies is “Kill Bill,” she said in her own court interview.
