Naomi Osaka once again proved that she is one of tennis' biggest attractions both on and off the court, unveiling another eye-catching fashion creation before delivering a commanding performance to reach the third round of Wimbledon .

The four-time Grand Slam champion made a stylish entrance to No. 2 Court , captivating spectators with an elegant all-white outfit featuring a broad waist belt and a flowing train. The striking ensemble, which followed her dramatic "Kill Bill" inspired kimono worn during her opening-round appearance, quickly became a talking point as photographers and fans gathered to capture the moment.

Once the pre-match spotlight faded, Osaka shifted her focus to tennis. She removed the outfit before the warm-up and wasted little time asserting her dominance, defeating qualifier Anastasia Gasanova 6-3, 6-2 in a confident second-round display.

Speaking after the match, Osaka said she enjoys experimenting with her fashion choices during Grand Slam tournaments. She also shared the emotional motivation behind her determination to stay in the tournament, revealing that her daughter Shai celebrates her third birthday on Thursday.

"I just wanted to be here for longer. I didn't want to make her get on a plane on her birthday," Osaka said, explaining that an early exit would have forced the family to leave London sooner than planned.

While Osaka's stylish appearance grabbed headlines, several other top players also booked their places in the next round.

World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka overcame a determined challenge from McCartney Kessler , winning 6-1, 7-6 (9) after surviving two set points in a tense second-set tie break. Sabalenka eventually converted her third match point to seal victory and set up a third-round clash with Jelena Ostapenko .

"She really tested me today and I'm super happy to have passed the test," Sabalenka said after the match.

Elsewhere, French Open finalist Flavio Cobolli and Tommy Paul , the tournament's 26th seed, also progressed comfortably.

The day's schedule on Centre Court featured defending men's champion Jannik Sinner taking on Nuno Borges , followed by French Open champion Mirra Andreeva against 2024 Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova . The marquee evening clash was set to see Novak Djokovic face Stefanos Tsitsipas .

With her confident form and increasingly creative fashion statements, Osaka continues to make a memorable impact at Wimbledon, proving that she can command attention both with her performances and her distinctive sense of style.
