(CNN) Tennis star Naomi Osaka took time after a win on Wednesday to call attention to the death of Elijah McClain while wearing a mask with his name on it. For me, today was very special in the way that I wanted to represent him very well," Osaka said. McClain was walking home from a convenience store last year in Aurora, Colorado, when he was confronted by three police officers. "For me, I think when I heard about (McClain's) story it was very hurtful," Osaka said. Naomi Osaka walks in wearing a mask with the name Elijah McClain on it before her second round US Open match.
