Four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka advanced to the third round of Wimbledon with a commanding straight-sets victory over Anastasia Gasanova on Court Two. The Japanese 14th seed secured the win in just over an hour, defeating the Russian world number 225 by 6-3, 6-2. This marks Osaka’s fourth appearance in the third round at Wimbledon, although she has yet to progress beyond this stage.

Osaka continued to attract attention not only for her performance but also for her distinctive on-court attire. Following a kimono-inspired outfit in her opening match, she appeared wearing a white jacket adorned with floral decorations and a long train, adding a stylish flair to her Wimbledon campaign.

In other matches, former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko maintained her momentum by defeating Antonia Ruzic 6-2, 6-0. Ostapenko had previously secured a first-round victory over Harriet Dart.

Meanwhile, uncertainty surrounds the doubles participation of Serena Williams and her sister Venus. Serena, 44, sustained a right knee injury during her singles match on Tuesday, where she was defeated in the first round by Maya Joint. The injury has cast doubt over the Williams sisters’ upcoming doubles fixtures, though no official confirmation has been provided at this stage.
