But opponent Laura Siegemund was not impressed. \u201cI couldn\u2019t care less,\u201d she told TNT Sports after Osaka won 6-3, 7-6.<\/p>\n
\u201cI come here to play tennis, not to put on a fashion show. And if others want to put on a fashion show, then they should go ahead and do it. That\u2019s totally fine with me.<\/p>\n
\u201cI find something else problematic. In our sport, at every tournament they count every second, right up until you\u2019ve unpacked your water bottle. But she can have a minute-and-a-half to change. I have a problem with that, because these rules simply exist and they are what they are \u2013 every second is now being watched so closely for us.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I also think that with performances like these, every second should be accounted for. That\u2019s the only thing regarding the rules that I don\u2019t think is OK and where, once again, bigger names are treated differently.\u201d<\/p>\n
Osaka is the only player to receive custom outfits from Nike, and even had a backup in case her \u201cEiffel Tower at night\u201d-inspired sequinned gold number proved too difficult for Siegemund to see in the blazing sunshine in Paris.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"But opponent Laura Siegemund was not impressed. \u201cI couldn\u2019t care less,\u201d she told TNT Sports after Osaka won…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":606523,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[7384,6564,13772,217,101,5438,118,56,54,55,157732,54657,6546],"class_list":["post-606522","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-french-open","tag-naomi-osaka","tag-paris","tag-sport","tag-sports","tag-standard","tag-tennis","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-us-content","tag-womens-sport","tag-wta"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606522","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=606522"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606522\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/606523"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=606522"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=606522"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=606522"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
