You cannot NOT like what you're seeing in Naomi's game these days. She's solved many of her perennial problems--or at least HALF of her most perennial problem which is her approach shot. she still seems unsure how to attack the net BUT she's grown very confident short-volleying back when she is attacked at the net. In fact everytime she runs in to chase down a volley you could almost chalk it down as a point even before she gets there. She NEVER bothers to return an opponent's volley, she simply puts the ball out of play on an impossible acute angle off the net on her return swing it drives all her opponents crazy. She did NOT copy that from anyone--that is pure signature Naomi Osaka anti-voley defense, the tennis community owes it to her to name that move after her. Call it the "Osaka volley killer".
What a match I mean Osaka was on fire here. She needs to keep her dad as her coach, they are undefeated. Kvitova was incredible too. Not as good as their AO final but still a great match
You didn't win today Kvitova but you won the war. The greatest fighter tennis has seen. Arguably playing better the last 2 seasons then when winning Grand Slams. She's fitter, more variety, pure power, improved foot speed but most of all she's Petra. Class when she wins like when she loses.
Usually matches like this where Osaka is down initially in the sets concerns me a whole lot but since her win in Osaka, I've become less concerned. Something changed about her mentality. Usually she would get frustrated when nothing is going right and she's behind by games or sets. But lately she's become much more patient and calm. Always figuring out a way for the most part. Hopefully, she together with Barty and Andreescu provide the consistency that the WTA is missing.
it's actually horrible. You can't pick the ball easily when you play on a brighter surface like that. If tennis players had a way, they wouldn't mind the courts painted black. Ask anyone that plays. That pink is a horrible color. Dont be fooled. It might look ok for TV for you and me, but for players it's horrible
Naomi gotta stop with these slow starts, It’s stressful for her fans so it must be really stressful for her. But once she gets up steam she’s like a powerful locomotive.
Plenty of players can when they're winning. Ostapenko did it last tournament when she let a ball go because she thought it was going long but it was inside the baseline
You might be right but considering this is in China where all other WTA tournaments except maybe Wuhan and Beijing have been completely empty, I’d say this is pretty good.
Naomi needed a coach who helps her emotionally more than her game and her dad is great it. Definitely she needs more world class coach for transitional game, but her father has done good work! To all naomi haters and glory hunters who said she needs bajin, take the L! Naomi's ability to fit her game according to opponent is world class. Her strategy to play defensively when other big hitter is on , like kvitova and let the storm pass by and then pull the trigger. . And she goes all out when she plays players like andreescu and barty. Btw these courts are made for pushers not aggressive brand of tennis. Tragic
@@101poumi Gauff is too young to put into a category. Her game is not even developed yet. Serena also used to play pushing counterpunching tennis when she was 16/17. So for Gauff you have to wait and watch what category she falls into. Halep is not a pusher, imo. She starts pushing when she is leading or tight in a match. But she goes down the line on every opportunity she gets. She is not a powerful player by nature. Doesn't make her a pusher. I personally would definitely place Halep in the aggressive counterpuncher category as Kerber. Svitolina, however, though talented, but plays with a pusher's mindset even though I have seen her dictating points against strong players. I think her mindset is very conservative. She definitely needs to improve on that part of her game. I always see Svitolina's coach having to remind Elina to keep playing attacking bcuz Elina's natural tendency is always to go back to playing passive and safe tennis. Bianca imo, is definitely an attacking player. But with a solid defensive game.
Osaka has retired. But kiki really has the best of both worlds. Participate in zhuhai and won money now participate in wta finals and win more money. That better than if she qualifies for wta finals
The contrasting colours of the court are excellent! It's a pity this championship is in Shenzhen for a DECADE, it's missing the hype, frenzy, fans & atmosphere of the previous WTA Finals
Abbotsfield Media Kvitova wasn’t red hot today she made 45 unforce errors and when Kvitová lost to barty in three sets in China l she only hit 28 unforce errors
Just watching this video doesn't make me sure why Osaka is so strong. I want you to show a scene that you can understand. She's serving, power, and footwork are all above standard. I don't feel like losing to any of the top players. I support from Japan.
Can someone please tell me why the WTA LIVE RANKINGS have not updated the “next points” and “maximum points”? This is the second day of the tournament. This is very annoying and should be updated the day before the tournament or before the tournament starts.
Good win by Osaka. Also I love the way Osaka is moving on the court. She needs to not hang so far back on the base line. She is fortunate she won this one. Petra caught her a few times hanging to far back and pulled a few winning drop shots on her. I like Petra she moves well for a tall woman on the court. The only problem with tall players in this sport is that most tall players, not all can be vulnerable when moved side to side. Petra has a great game. She needs to be more patient against her opponents though, but Osaka is not an easy opponent either. This really could have went either way. Just my observation from the highlights. I didn't see the whole match in its entirety.

Naomi Osaka is very talented but sometime she is too emotional on Court , which causes her the defeat to lower rank player. She must learn how to be more consistent and persistence. 🤗🤗

This match was a mess - Kvitotva had so many opportunities and failed to win, Osaka looked like she did not want to be there, more unforced errors than winners; not as epic as expected.

Petra is all class even in defeat and no wonder she’s loved by her peers. Hope she’ll win the next 2 matches and advance to the semi-finals.
Petra was so nice at the hand shake. Pure class.

Petra is always nice at handshakes. Usually hugs the opponent
Monika Jaitnerova Petra is really very likeable.
Ale Sh what is your point, she just lost from a better player, no reason to be rude.
It's nice to see naomi bouncing back at the last part of the season. There's a sense of calmness in her that I've see n after her win at tokyo
djIV Foodie totally agree at what you’re seeing including the timing.
Don't you mean her win at Osaka? ;'D
Kvitova is something else
Savvy, wise, quick, and rangy
Very good match
A very good win for Osaka

Un jeu alléchant, un beau match 🎾, félicitations à toutes les deux joueuses et Bravo 👏 à Naomie Osaka pour la victoire (Bonne chance pour la suite).
Shout out to the WTA and organizers for making the color of the court be different, pop and not be difficult to see/watch.

A cool determined win!!Congrats Osaka 👍👍👍
Love both players! Such a high quality match !!
Best of luck Naomi, for your next match and congratulations for winning today against red hot Petra. Wish you all the best
kenny red hot Petra 😂😂😂 Petra made 45 unforce errors
@Football winner she was attacking Naomi serve all match and moving very well, but her unforced error costed her the match
kenny yeh but how many unforced errors she made from Osaka second serve . She played terrible
Congrats Osaka, Keep up your healthy play. Great control.
Kvitova has Class Shots
Osaka has Champion Game
They have changed WTA from the kingdom of Pushers to Attackers.
Yup naomi andreescu, future of wta looks bright bring memories of 2000s ! But courts are damn slow made for pushers. Wta finals courts are pathetic!
deepak mahajan At least they look faster than the ones in Singapore.
Love Petra all the time. She is such a nice person.
I love both but I hoped Kvitova will somehow win her next match and qualify from this group.
Me too. Fan of both
Naomi gotta stop with these slow starts, It’s stressful for her fans so it must be really stressful for her. But once she gets up steam she’s like a powerful locomotive.
Lol, same here. Her sloppy start's always got me nervous.
Petra😢😣❤️
Love Petra too but I'm happy Naomi won!
Love the look of the stadium. Especially the grey and purple surface.
2 of the most powerful forehands in women tennis on display here. Huge serves too. Spectacular
Go Naomi!! What a match. But felt Kvitova made too many errors in the wrong moments, but a great match to start WTA Finals.
GREAT MATCH!!!CONGRATULATIONS FOR WINNING TODAY .
Ha! Only Naomi can giggle at herself in the middle of a match for missing a point. 3:50

Not so sure why WTA wastes so many seconds of the highlight showing player going back to their chair for a changeover.

U need to go back to the kindergarten ASAP if deep in your mind the court color is pink 😂😂
Thats obviously pink
Why shes pulled out with between Ashleigh? Mga heavy weights 😀
