Osaka is currently competing at the Italian Open where she has kicked off her run with a straight-set win against Clara Burel in the opening round. She will face 19th seed Marta Kostyuk in the second round.
When Naomi Osaka featured in Beats by Dre’s Fit Pro earbuds ad
This is not the first time聽Naomi Osaka聽has been a part of Beats by Dre’s ad campaign, as she was featured in their Fit Pro advertisement two years ago.
The headphone company posted a video on February 7, 2022, which began with a side shot of the Japanese, who puts on her new Fit Pro earbuds. This is followed by the song ‘Magic’ sung by American rapper Vince Staples.
The words ‘Fit for Naomi’ then appear on the screen and the scene then cuts to Osaka striking a limbo pose and flowing around, possibly suggesting that the new earbuds gave her a free-flowing feeling.
The video ends with Osaka resting on a hammock created out of a tennis net as the words ‘Move how you want.’ appear on the screen.
