Naomi Osaka's Australian Open tennis shoes bring sunflower happiness

Japanese tennis star Naomi Osaka kicked off her run in the 2025 Australian Open with a hard-fought, three-set win over Caroline Garcia of France at Rod Laver Arena.

The win continued a hot streak for Osaka, who had reached the finals of the ASB Classic in Auckland, New Zealand earlier this month before being forced to withdraw due to injury despite holding a one set lead.

During her first-round match at the Aussie Open, Osaka not only shined with her skills on the court but also with her style.
