Naomi Osaka’s comeback run at the US Open may have ended in the semifinals, but she gave fans one more iconic storyline along the way. 👀⁣ ⁣ Throughout the tournament, the four-time Grand Slam champ has been bringing her love for collectibles onto the court, revealing a different quirky Labubu figurine each match as a good-luck ritual. 🤞⁣ ⁣ Turns out, she even had one extra special Labubu planned for championship night – modeled after herself (!!!) – but sadly didn’t get the chance to debut it after falling in a tough three-set battle to Amanda Anisimova on Thursday. 🎾⁣ ⁣ The 24-year-old American fought back from a set down to upset Osaka 6-7(4), 7-6(3), 6-3, punching her ticket to her second Grand Slam final where she’ll take on defending champ Aryna Sabalenka. 🏆⁣ ⁣ A new champ will be crowned in NYC this weekend… but Osaka’s Labubu lore? That’s already legendary. 🧸✨ #thegist⁣ ⁣ (c/o @espnw)⁣ ⁣ #womenssports #tennis #NaomiOsaka #USOpen #womenstennis #labubu
