Naomi Osaka Exits U.S. Open in Fourth Round but Wins the Fashion Spotlight

NEW YORK (AP) — Naomi Osaka lost a lopsided fourth-round match at the U.S. Open on Monday, Sept. 7, 2026, to second-seeded Elena Rybakina, but continued to draw attention as one of the tour's most-watched dressers, AP News reported via The Haitian Times. The 28-year-old two-time U.S. Open champion arrived for her final match in a fur-trimmed, multicolored cloak designed by Brooklyn-based label KidSuper, the brand of designer Colm Dillane, paired with a headband echoing the NBA logo but featuring a tennis player. "I felt really swaggy when I put it on," Osaka said. "I feel like it embodied New York a lot." Throughout the tournament, Osaka worked with celebrity stylist Law Roach on a series of basketball-themed looks tied to sponsor Nike honoring the New York Knicks' championship. Earlier outfits channeled NBA great Allen Iverson via Who Decides War, and featured designs by Thom Browne and Monse. Osaka, a four-time Grand Slam champion, said she was hampered by leg pain during the match but was philosophical about the defeat. "Maybe I'm just getting older, but I don't feel sad," she said, adding she had no regrets about her career.
