She got tactics: decided to not allow her opponent to take advantage of her pace. And she made it her goal to be more concentrated. With all the giggling, she does give meaningful answers. Smart girl.
when you cut through the giggling, she generally displays good composure in the answers that she gives to questions. if by "unpolished and authentic" you mean that it doesn't sound like her answers are rehearsed, i agree.
Jim Stark - 'simpleminds'.....'heretofore sheltered'.....'manufactured ugliness'......are you for real? You're a passive-aggressive, pseudo-intellectual simpleton with inane faux-insights that constitute nothing more than meaningless drivel. It appears that you also suffer from casual institutionalised racism.
Naomi Osaka is the future of tennis! A future grand slam champion & world no1. She's so humble, adorable & a very pretty girl like a Japanese princess!
She's so pretty when she smiles! Seeing her so serious most of the time, at first I thought she might be a bit arrogant, but now I think she is just very shy and doesn't really know yet how to open up in front of people. Really starting to like her. Sweet girl!
Pretty sure she has started to take pace in women's tennis.. The way she plays is far better than some of the top seeded players.. She is a modern player.. Love u Naomi.. keep on smiling. N make us proud.
What a pleasantly surprising and unexpected run by Naomi to win this title. Congrats! I remember watching her play Madison Keys at the US Open in 2016 and leading like 5-0 or something outrageous like that in the 3rd set. I was on the elliptical at the gym while watching that last set and I remember thinking to myself, oh yeah Osaka's got this one. Then it all fell apart and the match just slipped away from her, I felt so bad for her. But I remember thinking that she had the game to challenge the top players in women's tennis if she just kept at it and got more match play in and worked on to improve the mental part of her game. I can see it has paid off, so I'm happy to see a sweet and likable younger generation player on the rise! Keep at it Naomi, because I see you winning at least one slam in the near future, possibly even this year! :)
Sacha has given her a few Serena secrets. She used them well. Congrats osaka. I like you. But trust and know Serena feels some kinda way about Venus showing out on her. She is going to be on a war path. Watch out. Serena will win in Miami.
Rise of Naomi Osaka by vip malixi I deferred to the greats I was just starting after all I figured they deserved the wins And me the fall But something happened These past few weeks Maybe I'm coming to my own? The shots are going in The hard work is paying off Before it was all them But now... Naomi! ("now me" -- get it? :)
IM IN LOVE WITH HER PERSONALITY. SO HONEST, SO BASHFULLY AWKWARD, LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING HER GROW INTO THE WORLD #1 AND WIN MULTIPLE SLAMS. VERY HUMBLING TO SEE A PHENOMENAL YOUNG UP-COMER SO VOID OF IGNORANCE AND ARROGANCE.
US BIG tournaments like IW & Miami really try to give Naomi hard time! at IW Rd 128 Maria Sharapova was the only player took 8 games from Naomi, and at 2018 Miami Naomi will face another great test 23 GS winner Serena, This's the 1st match between 2 maybe the most talent WTA players of all time. what 1s RD match at Miami 2018.
I think if Naomi play the way like she been playing lately, she might win against Serena. And she will win a lot BIG TITLES. What a life change tournament for 20 yrs old Naomi, I think this is good moment for a lot of top sponsors looking after her now, after she mentions her two big sponsor at winner speech at IW, Yonex & Adida...
Yes Radwan, Tomorrow another tough match for both of them, Their H2H : 2-2, with Svitolina won last one at Dubai 2018, and Naomi won the 2 at 2016 AO & Tokyo.
Naomi Osaka has "GAME" not only on the Tennis Court but in the Conference Room in the presence of social and cultural conquistadors. She uses humility and simplicity, a la GEORGE FOREMAN, in order to "Win Friends And Influence People"* - by design or unconsciously. *Dale Carnegie Let's celebrate by toasting on behalf of Naomi Osaka with a bottle or two of the N'Osakian Champagne; shall we not? It's the Osakian Time Season of Women Tennis. Rounds of applause!
lol Naomi Osaka and her mother are from Osaka. But she doesn't have the Osaka accent at all. She speaks Japanese with Tokyo accent, which means the standard Japanese accent. She learned Japanese so hard. lol
She moves her lips very little when she talked.. congratulations for your win and I like the way you talk. After Serena you could be The queen of Tennis
As she scales the heights of tennisdom and becomes a global household name in the sport, curious viewers/readers would be scouring for and asking pertinent questions about her profile and her family's...not least will be: 1. What is her full name at birth? ... she isn't named after her father's patronym for sure; what's her mom's surname then? Or did her parents deprive her of a family name? 2. When was she naturalized as a US citizen? ... since she was born in Japan whence she emigrated at age 3, what's the criterion for her naturalization, as a professional tennis player? 3. Is she holding Japanese citizenship because just being born in Japan does not qualify her to be a Japanese as her father is Haitian... Japan is very strict WRT citizenship per patrilineal descent. 4. It appears highly incongruous for Naomi to be playing for Japan as she doesn't even speak the language. And US being her adopted country and her only residence since aged 3, shouldn't she be representing it when abroad. Her flagging herself out to a foreign flag of convenience is questionable to say the least...is this all about the mighty dollars or is there more to it? Enquiring minds would like answers to the above.
I believe she's using her real name. Her mother is a Japanese, born in Japan hence she's a Japanese citizen. She's still under 21 years old thus she's holding dual citizenship. Once she turn 21, she need to decide which citizenship is she's going to embrace as Japanese law doesn't allow dual.
But that does not explain how she became a US citizen since she was born in Japan... not that it matters, but out of curiosity I find her situation to be really odd. Don't you?
Quoting from wikipedia, "As Osaka has dual Japanese and American citizenship, her father took the decision to register her with the Japan Tennis Association when she began her career.". Regarding with her dual citizenship, I'm not sure how she attained American citizenship. Maybe her father is an American citizen as her father studied and graduated at New York University.
Her father is Haitian by birth, and his being a student in New York does not ipso facto naturalize him as American. And that's precisely my point of curiosity. But eventually it would all be made clear by the media as she rises to national/international prominence... of that I am quite certain.
Shan Liang Maybe, if we could examine her without cloths on, look in every hole, maybe we will find a mark that says what she is, and if she is japanese. I grew up with many people that look like Naomi. My country people are the biggest mix of all kind, type of people.You can read the mix off her face and rest of her body and movement. Nationality is a technical thing. Like most of the top european sportes are from a different racetype than the people they represent. This question is very narrowminded.
Maybe she should approach every tournaments like this by thinking she has "another match to play." I hate to say this but there seems to be some mental issues with Naomi that are somewhat puzzling. I don't know if it relates to her upbringing, personality, youth and lack of real world experiences, or that she's just different and childlike in terms of common sense.
It's so odd that she claims she is "Japanese" when she does not speak the language and she grew up in the U.S. since she was three years old. Folks, that's an American right there.
Elmo Blatch lol the Irish in Boston always claim they Irish as in from Ireland when they never set foot in Ireland or know anything about the culture aside from drinking they seem to embrace which I will assume that's not all there is to Ireland.
How in the world could u not like Naomi?? Love her personality.
Her very 1st title is a huge one. Wow! Congrats, Naomi! Well done.
Not at all an embarrassing speech. It was a very genuine and from the heart speech. Nothing phony about it!!
Naomi - you're a breath of fresh air. Perfect the way you are. You can be a mega-tennis star and be shy and humble too!
She got tactics: decided to not allow her opponent to take advantage of her pace. And she made it her goal to be more concentrated. With all the giggling, she does give meaningful answers. Smart girl.
i love you naomi becuse you r very humble !!!
a breath of fresh air.. always knew you had the game to win. glad you are stringing it together and being super consistent. (Y)
OMG, I love how unpolished and authentic she is.
when you cut through the giggling, she generally displays good composure in the answers that she gives to questions. if by "unpolished and authentic" you mean that it doesn't sound like her answers are rehearsed, i agree.
Jim Stark - 'simpleminds'.....'heretofore sheltered'.....'manufactured ugliness'......are you for real?

Jim Stark . You sound like a racist.
paper wait . She's very thoughtful, thinks before she speaks.
You have such a beautiful smile. Proud of you, Naomi! Keep playing hard, and keep winning.
Naomi Osaka is the future of tennis! A future grand slam champion & world no1. She's so humble, adorable & a very pretty girl like a Japanese princess!
Called it!!! A year later she has 2 Grand Slams and is the World Number 1
Naomi the champ!!!
One of the greats.. you will be an icon I love your game and always smiling you are amazing.... Congratulations for your 1st championship
なおみちゃん、おめでとう。Congratulation, Naomi. Love from Japan.
After her racist Japanese grandpa didn't want the black grandkids
the Next Gen woman that can win huge titles. She's my favorite second to Simona Halep in winning a Grand slam.
She's so pretty when she smiles! Seeing her so serious most of the time, at first I thought she might be a bit arrogant, but now I think she is just very shy and doesn't really know yet how to open up in front of people. Really starting to like her. Sweet girl!
did she need to smile for you to know that ?
Looking forward to seeing her play again...she is going to be tough to beat from now on.
I'm impressed by her personality, Humble, Smart a wonderful woman, a Future Star, wishing her a Great Career She's a 🌟 in Court
Naomi is a huge talented. And very humble. Sasha seems to have helped her cut down the unforced errors. The sky is the limit.
Congratulations naomi yours so good 👏👏👏
Pretty sure she has started to take pace in women's tennis.. The way she plays is far better than some of the top seeded players.. She is a modern player.. Love u Naomi.. keep on smiling. N make us proud.

I Pray Naomi repeat the win this year 2019 and win Miami Open. May the power of her ancestors be with her like in Australian Open..
I love how just half of a reporter got the SpongeBob reference!
A New Superstar is born...
Maybe she'll be eating sourdough toast from now on . . . you are adorable, Naomi!!
Naomi Osaka and Daria Kasatkina will meet more in major finals 🤘💪😊 I like them both. and ...she reminds me of Chloe Kim , American Snowboard athlete 😄
Soooo humble, what a lovely young lady.
She is awesome
She's very likable
CONGRATULATIONS
Sacha has given her a few Serena secrets. She used them well. Congrats osaka. I like you. But trust and know Serena feels some kinda way about Venus showing out on her. She is going to be on a war path. Watch out. Serena will win in Miami.
Sweet girl
Gorgeous Osaka.
Sweet. She is so sweeeeet😍
These new girls are cool. No pretense; just totally themselves.
I like to hear it in Japanese.
Congratulations Naomi!
Future number 1 for sure.
Called it!
`Welldone Naomi.. keep it up.
Naomi Osaka 6 - 0 Simona Halep, the world No.1 tells all about the Indian wells.
I want to see her play against Serena Williams soon. I think the way she played these past few matched Osaka would win big.
White P11 . She has played her twice and won both times. Won 2018 U.S. Open. NAOMI. 🏆👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I deferred to the greats
I was just starting after all
I figured they deserved the wins
And me the fall
But something happened
These past few weeks
Maybe I'm coming to my own?
The shots are going in
The hard work is paying off
Before it was all them
But now...
Naomi!
("now me" -- get it? :)
I'm a fan already, I would love to see Serena passing a baton to her.
IM IN LOVE WITH HER PERSONALITY. SO HONEST, SO BASHFULLY AWKWARD, LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING HER GROW INTO THE WORLD #1 AND WIN MULTIPLE SLAMS. VERY HUMBLING TO SEE A PHENOMENAL YOUNG UP-COMER SO VOID OF IGNORANCE AND ARROGANCE.

actually, sakari took 9 games from naomi in the 4th round 6-1 5-7 6-1
and if she win( hope she do ) she will svetolina
so the 1st 2nd matches are the toughest matches
I think if Naomi play the way like she been playing lately, she might win against Serena. And she will win a lot BIG TITLES. What a life change tournament for 20 yrs old Naomi, I think this is good moment for a lot of top sponsors looking after her now, after she mentions her two big sponsor at winner speech at IW, Yonex & Adida...

Beautiful nurture-nature person.
why is her voice not hearing
She faces Serena first round of Miami 🤷♂️
Geraint Jones . How 'bout she won. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
"Why are you winning matches?" "Uhm, because I am better than my opponents..."
Martin Brady
Why don't you get out of here?
Okay Naomi's hot and I have a crush on her. There I've said it.
lol Naomi Osaka and her mother are from Osaka. But she doesn't have the Osaka accent at all. She speaks Japanese with Tokyo accent, which means the standard Japanese accent. She learned Japanese so hard. lol
yuzo0602 Her mom was born and raised in Hokkaido, so she does not speak with Osaka accent.
I couldn't give a fuck what her accent is. She's a tennis don and that's all you need to focus on.
She has already leant to say “I mean. ....” like all the other tennis players 😆
Melanin power!! Way to go, Osaka!!
But if we say "white power", then that's RAYCISS?? End the double standard.
+1nifiteh8 shut up
The fuck are you on about? She's a boss tennis player that's all you need to know.
1nfiniteh8 - When you say 'we' who are you referring to?
wa va Obviously white people dumbass
She moves her lips very little when she talked.. congratulations for your win and I like the way you talk. After Serena you could be The queen of Tennis

Wel don bat halep it is the best
The bewilderment of youthful success. She's definitely a rising star and is already a force to be reckoned with.
Sort of like a male teacher in the Beavis and Butthead character. I like it. 😜😜
Why I hear 'stuff' all the time
REFRESHING!! Love her =)
Is she Japanese?
Shan Liang Maybe, if we could examine her without cloths on, look in every hole, maybe we will find a mark that says what she is, and if she is japanese.

Congrats Naomi. Many more to come! In the meantime, please work on your speaking skills (no “umm”, “a” “like”, etc
she doesn’t have to.
Unhinged.
Lol
Maybe she should approach every tournaments like this by thinking she has "another match to play."

asking Naomi about "all the big emotions..." Uh, what emotions??
