Four-time grand slam champion Naomi Osaka continued to turn on the style at Wimbledon as she eased into the third round with a straight-sets win over Anastasia Gasanova.
Two days after wearing a ‘Kill Bill’ inspired kimono ahead of her opening match, the Japanese 14th seed again turned heads, sporting a white jacket with floral decoration and a long train which trailed behind her.
The latest elaborate outfit caught the attention of spectators and photographers as Osaka walked to Court Two, where she required just an hour and seven minutes to wrap up a 6-3 6-2 victory over the Russian world number 225.
Former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko backed up her first-round win over Britain’s Harriet Dart by defeating Antonia Ruzic 6-2 6-0.
Croatian Ruzic was initially drawn to face Emma Raducanu in round one before overcoming Latvian lucky loser Darja Semenistaja following the injury withdrawal of the British number one.
Wimbledon debutant Mananchaya Sawangkaew also progressed – in far less fortuitous fashion than her first-round match.
The Thai qualifier, who claimed a maiden win at grand slam level on Monday after French Open runner-up Maja Chwalinska injured herself on match point, beat American Alycia Parks 7-5 6-0.
