The U.S. Open patrons love them some Naomi Osaka, and the feeling is mutual from the two-time champion. Here’s Naomi:
💬 “Whenever I play here, the atmosphere feels like home. It is home to me. I’m really grateful to you guys for coming out and making me feel like I’m from here.
“I felt really nervous, and I think that made me a little negative. So I just tried to be as positive as I could when I realized I was getting down on myself.”
Osaka then draws another crowd reaction when showing off the Labubu doll on her gym bag, which she named — appropriately — “Billie Jean Bling.” She also revealed she designed her own outfit for tonight thanks to a deal with Nike.
