Serial entrepreneur, Naomi Osaka would have wanted a better end to her Indian Wells run. Nevertheless, she displayed impressive skills in certain matches, which can be seen as a positive aspect. Constantly making news for reasons other than tennis, she was spotted at an event powered by a leading luxury watch brand.

Being one of the fan favorites, her appearances are minutely taken note of. This time was no different when she walked into the event and posed for a photo op in Miami.

Having arrived well ahead of the tournament, she made the most of it and walked into a TAG Heuer event. The pictures from the photo op were later posted by the official Instagram handle of her talent management agency, Evolve. Consequently, the fans went into a frenzy but this time they were ‘blown away’ by her curly head of hair, which she proudly flaunts. One fan highlighted the effect of humidity on curly hair while appreciating her hairstyle. He even tried to hint at her ethnic descent.

He writes, “Naomi Mowry! The hair kinda good. It’s a natural look in US humidity capital Miami,” appreciating her naturally frizzy hair due to the city’s humidity.

One fan comments, “This is a serve,” while another replies, “The neck down is a serve,” emphasizing the attractiveness of the outfit for the day.

One fan, smitten by the beauty of Osaka, excitedly explains his favored tennis scenario.

He writes, “Bianca Andreescu come heathily back. Naomi Osaka will fs get another slam until end of 2025. Barty pls leave retirement. I want y’all to dominate with Iga, then Sabalenka, Pegula, Coco, and other rising stars can compete for top 5 to 15.” Explaining how he wants Bianca Andreescu, who is out due to injury, and Ashleigh Barty, who has retired to make a comeback.

Another fan swooned over Osaka’s attractive look.

She comments, “Listen… a serve was made,” which is also a pun on tennis.

Likewise, another user smitten by her glorious head of hair expresses her admiration.

She writes, “Her hair is stunning Omg,” owing to the natural tropical feel of the hairstyle.

It’s safe to say, that Osaka bestowed her fans with her illusion in the magic city.

Naomi Osaka aims to come back strongly!

After a not-so-satisfying performance by her standards, Osaka will be looking to make a statement at the Miami Open. She played at the 2022 Miami Open and had an impressive deep run. By only losing one set building up to the finals, in-form Iga Swiatek outclassed her in straight sets. Although ending up as the runner-up, it was the best result Osaka had in recent times and she will look to replicate it in Miami this year.

Even after her disappointing defeat, Osaka exuberated composure and positivity, “Normally I would be crying in the locker room but I guess life experiences help.” She adds, “I’m a bit more humble now about the opportunities I get. I can take a lot of positives from this.”

Soon after the tournament, she went on a 15-month hiatus owing to her mental health problems and then the birth of her firstborn, Shai. Let’s hope Osaka’s magic at the TAG Heuer event can be seen in her performance at the Miami Open as well.
