Japan’s Naomi Osaka defeated Russia’s Daria Kasatkina 6-2, 6-3 in the first round at Wimbledon on July 3, 2026. Osaka finished the match in less than sixty minutes. Her serves set the pace, and Kasatkina’s returns often fell short. Between sets, Osaka sent a short message to her daughter. She stepped on court in a pink dress covered with cherry-blossom patterns, still white enough for Wimbledon’s strict dress code. After the win, reporters wondered about she went with that shade.
