Naomi Osaka's fashion choices at the French Open have been making headlines, with the tennis star continuing to defy critics who claim she is turning the tournament into a fashion show.

The $7.5 million endorsement deal

Despite criticism from some of her opponents, Osaka has remained committed to her fashion choices, even going so far as to pose for night-time pictures in front of the Eiffel Tower earlier this week.

Who is the real Naomi Osaka?

A familiar pattern from the 2019 crash

What auditors flagged in the May filing
