Making her return to action at the Mubadala Silicon Valley Classic, Naomi Osaka will debut a Yonex tennis racquet and bag combo designed by her sister Mari.

After quitting tennis at the young age of 24, Mari Osaka started focusing on art and fashion. The former WTA world No.280’s latest design project is a cooperation with Naomi’s racquet sponsor Yonex, as the sister of the four-time Grand Slam champion created a unique cosmetic of the OSAKA EZONE racquet and Pro Series Bag.

Inspired by mother Tamari Osaka’s vision of her daughters as a duo of dragons, Mari’s design is dominated by the mythical monster, a symbol of great power, good luck, and strength.
