Naomi Osaka turned heads with another sparkling Grand Slam fashion statement on Tuesday and the former world number one matched it with striking tennis to dismantle unseeded German Laura Siegemund 6-3 7-6(3) in the French Open first round. Months after dazzling with a jellyfish-inspired outfit at the Australian Open, Osaka walked onto Court Suzanne Lenglen in a sequined waistcoat blouse and a black mesh floor-length train before unveiling a layered yellow-brown and gold match dress. Siegemund, far more understated in attire, held her own once the contest began, but four-times Grand Slam champion Osaka quickly took control of the opening set and closed it out with minimum fuss. As the blazing afternoon sun made conditions more difficult for players, Osaka allowed the momentum to shift in the next set, but the 16th seed saved a set point and powered back from 5-3 down to force a tiebreak and prevail.
