Naomi Osaka has been wearing masks emblazoned with the names of different slain Black Americans during her U.S. Open run, while noting to the on-air reporter that she's gutted that the seven she has -- one for each round she'll hopefully make -- are not nearly enough for all the names out there. [From *People*](https://people.com/sports/naomi-osaka-wears-trayvon-martin-mask-fourth-us-open-win/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io):

> *\[S\]he said wearing the masks was a way to use her platform to spread knowledge of police brutality and racism not just in the U.S., but across the world.* 
>  
> *“I think tennis, people watch it all around the world and things that we think are common names are probably not common overseas,” the 2018 U.S. Open champion said. “For me I just want people to have more knowledge. I feel like the platform that I have right now is something that I used to take for granted and I just feel like I should be using it for something.”*

In the slideshow: the masks we have pictures of, plus other outfits worn on the court, which include a lot of shorts on the women this year.
