Latest News About Osaka breezes past opponent in opener

Japan’s Naomi Osaka swept past Russia’s Daria Kasatkina 6-2, 6-3 in the first round at Wimbledon on July 3, 2026. Osaka closed out the match in under an hour. Her service game set the tone, and Kasatkina’s returns often fell short. Between sets, Osaka sent a quick note to her daughter. She stepped on court in a pink dress covered with cherry-blossom patterns, still white enough for Wimbledon’s all-white rule. After the win, reporters wondered about she went with that shade.
