NEW YORK (AP) — Everything came up roses for Naomi Osaka in her U.S. Open first-round match.

The two-time champion entered the court Tuesday with sparkly red roses in her ponytail above her red outfit and even a matching Labubu that she named Billie Jean Bling.

Osaka said the work on her crystalized Nike outfit started long ago and the plan for the hair accessory — which she removed before the match — came together more recently.

“It was really elaborate, because the crystals are really hard to do on a performance outfit,” Osaka said. “I just thought it would be really fun to do a New York under the lights. I’m glad that my first match was a night match, because this outfit was really fun to play.
