Her look at the Australian Open was inspired by a jellyfish, and for this match, she chose an Allen Iverson-inspired outfit.\n\nOsaka, who defeated unseeded Russian Anastasia Zakharova to advance to the second round, admitted that her outfit choices are a way for her to express herself. \"I really like [Allen Iverson],\" she said, explaining that she wanted to pay tribute to the basketball legend, saying, \"Nike said basketball, so I said 'you want basketball, I'll give you basketball'.\" The fashion-forward athlete admitted that she was a little rusty after her last match in Toronto, and that she was nervous in her first-round matches.
