PARIS, May ⁠26 (Reuters) - Naomi Osaka turned heads with another sparkling Grand Slam ⁠fashion statement on Tuesday and the former world number one ‌matched it with striking tennis to dismantle unseeded German Laura Siegemund 6-3 7-6(3) in the French Open first round.

Months after dazzling with a jellyfish-inspired outfit at the Australian ​Open, Osaka walked onto Court Suzanne Lenglen ⁠in a sequined waistcoat blouse ⁠and a black mesh floor-length train before unveiling a layered yellow-brown ⁠and ‌gold match dress.

"Honestly it's very couture," Osaka said in her on-court interview about her kit. "Funnily enough, I feel like ... you ⁠know the Eiffel Tower at night when it's ​sparkly? I think ‌I look like that a bit."

Siegemund, far more understated in attire, ⁠held her ​own once the clash began but four-times Grand Slam champion Osaka quickly took control of the opening set with her power and aggression to close ⁠it out with minimum fuss.

As the blazing ​afternoon sun made conditions more difficult for players, Osaka allowed the momentum to shift slightly in the next set, but the 16th seed saved ⁠a set point and powered back from 5-3 down to force a tiebreak and prevail.

"I felt really nervous but for me, I haven't played on this court in a little while, so it's nice ​to get out here and play in ⁠front of everyone," Osaka added.

"It's really hot so I hope everyone is ​drinking water."

Osaka takes on 2024 Paris Olympics ‌silver medallist Donna Vekic in the ​next round after the Croat eased past local hope Alice Tubello.
