ROLAND GARROS — It is hard to know what Naomi Osaka did wrong: she went for dinner with some friends, she wore a nice dress at work, and she won a tennis match.
Yet the internet is filled with trolls calling her an attention-seeker, a segregationist and a twonk, among other things. Depressingly, this is nothing new for her to deal with.
Osaka did not back down on Thursday ahead of her second-round match though, walking out onto Simonne Mathieu in a new pre-match outfit, replacing the pleated, flowing full-length skirt and black, boned waistcoast of Tuesday with a slight less extravagant ivory train.
On both occasions, the skirts were removed before she took to the court in anger, and she played in the first and second round wearing a customised tennis dress covered in shimmering gold sequins.
