Osaka had to work to make the fashion choice hold up. It took the 16th-seeded Osaka three sets to edge Antonia Ruzic 6-3, 3-6, 6-4.
Thanks to an 11-0 advantage in aces and an overall dominance in winning points on her first serve, Osaka moved on.
She’ll take on Sorana Cirstea in the second round Down Under.
Tennis fans will be waiting to see what outfit Osaka pulls out for that one.
