Naomi Osaka explains how her white kimono at Wimbledon connects her to her cultural heritage. The four-time Grand Slam winner discusses how Wimbledon's all-white tradition connects her to her Japanese and Haitian roots.

'When I think about Wimbledon, it's obviously the all white. There's obviously the tradition of it all. In my head, when I think about that, I think about my cultures, my heritage, which is Japanese and Haitian,' Osaka told the BBC. 'Then, if I dive deeper into Japanese culture, I think about the most iconic silhouette, which for me is a kimono. You don't have to see the colour of a kimono to know that it is a kimono.' betsport24.es
