NEW YORK (AP) — Naomi Osaka is bringing the Labubu fad to the U.S. Open — all the way to at least the quarterfinals. Osaka has played four matches at the Grand Slam tennis tournament so far this year, each time toting a different version of the popular plush toy attached to her racket bag. And she's won each time, too, including a 6-3, 6-2 victory over Coco Gauff on Monday.
