She’s nowhere now unfortunately. I was so hoping for her to become the dominant player on the tour. She’s such a great player. Hope she finds her way back to the top.
I am not taking away from Osaka's win! however comparing what happened on the court is basically, more energy vs. less energy, which is a part of growing older in all sports.
Not necessarily... a younger Serena would also be a less experienced one. You could also say an older more experienced Osaka would have won Serena decisively every time. You can't eat your cake and have it!
Absolutely, but Osaka beating Serena at this age means we can't really compare them at all. We can't bring back say, a 2015 Serena to play Osaka whenever she reaches her prime, so we would never know the real outcome if they both played at 100%.
Completely different scene to the American open where Osaka beat Serena. No one is booing Osaka here, and not because we don’t love Serena, we just know how to behave. How America treated Naomi was absolutely disgusting in 2018
This is one of the greatest matches of all history. A legend against a soon-to-be legend. Amazing. All the Serena fans, don't be so salty that she lost. Everybody has to step down at one point where a new generation moves in.
I only played tennis in high school, so maybe I can't say anything here. But this kinda looks similar to how boxers don't always throw their hardest jabs or full momentum jab until they know 95% they can land that solid hit. Because if it hits air, it's just too much expended energy and stamina. It looks like Serena has a lot of strength behind her shots, and it seems that usually that works for her. But Osaka capitalizes on the energy that Serena expends. If Serena can't win in a couple of hits, she just becomes too tired to run around the court, while Osaka looks like she's just redirecting what's being thrown at her.
A young Serena could have returned some of Osaka's winners and put herself in position to hit better angles. Her lack of stamina in her old age and from motherhood forces her to hit as hard as she can and hope to end points early. If she tried to hit softer balls to conserve energy, she still would have lost because Osaka would have just dragged the points as long as necessary.
For me, neither player were at their best this match, but how Naomi upped her level in the last 2 games of the match shows how mentally tough she is. She did what Serena did to so many opponents throughout her career, and has really grown into one of the most mentally tough players on the tour. She really is becoming the next great player and has grown so much throughout the years to become the player she is now. Serena Williams, it’s unfortunate we didn’t see her best here but what she has achieved in these two weeks is still incredible at this stage of her career. To beat Sabalenka in the 4th round and play such a high quality match against Halep shows she still can play amazing tennis. What she has achieved, and still is achieving is incredible and is certainly so amazing to see her do so well in this time of her career. Really wish the best for Naomi and Serena in the 2021 season.
You are absolutely right. Naomi is slowly but surely becoming a mental giant. She is going to be a really great player in the years to come due to her mental strength
Serena played quite well it seems, but I find it satisfying to see the calm determination Naomi showed in deciding to own this moment. I would think she felt just as much pressure as Serena, but now that feeling is transforming into confidence.
If Osaka is healthy, at least no big injury, she will win at least 10 grand slams. She could start to think about improving the tennis at clay and grass court and try to win French open and Wimbledon.
yeah, that one still is a bitter taste for any sports fan. that was totally uncalled for. I mean, the poor girl was crying and in tears (and I think she was 18 too). The thing that irritates me the most - she was already losing so it felt like a sore loser picking a fight somewhere else to project their frustration
It was a brutal experience as it was her first open win it think and she looked up to serena too. Sad to see the person u looked up to treat it like that
Serena tried to make it sound like the match was on her racquet and that her errors were her own undoing. This wasn’t about Serena making errors; Osaka was bullying her into errors. She couldn’t execute her usual gameplan because Osaka was having none of it and not allowing her to
The statisticians disagreed. 24 UNFORCED errors from Serena and 45% of first serves in play. Serena was right, had chances to be up 5-0, but she handed the first set over on a silver platter.
@@bryanmartin5901 they were unforced in the sense that Serena was trying to make more of her shots than Naomi was allowing her to. She was under so much pressure from Osaka that merely keeping the ball in play was not an option; she wanted to return 120-mph serves with interest instead of punting them back for fear that Osaka will put the next ball away with contempt.
@@bryanmartin5901 She forced it upon herself. Serena could have hit with more clearance but she needed to put more on the ball because of the pressure Osaka was applying on her
Osaka really seemed comfortable with her strings, frame and court speed/bounce here... low scoops lifted and hit deep or short with pace or cross court but never weak defensive replies, fast hard shots returned and directed with interest!!! This was amazing form.
Watching Osaka beating Serena literally gave me chills, reminds me of our Brazilian glory days when Gustavo kuerten was dominating the courts and was our Brazilian pride , Japan must be real proud
It's amazing that Serena is OLD in sports years and still playing. She's 39 or 40 in this match. We don't expect her to beat the young guns coming up. But we admire her tenacity to still compete.
The comments are pathetic, Osaka won because she trained, because she deserved it Stop deifying "goddess" serena, she is extremely spoiled and has already ruined an Osaka victory Osaka won not because she is "a younger version of serena", she won because she was the best
Serena totally went off her game and Osaka grew in confidence. I think Serena still has a better game, but she knows how good Osaka is. It requires Serena to bring her A game and I think the pressure she’s putting herself under makes it hard to find. It would be a great match if both played their best against each other.
Worth watching the extended highlights of the encounters in order to analyze the crucial positions and significant moments. At the same time, it comprises the movement of rallies, flow of the strikes and the composure, enabling us to deliver the viable commentaries
I don’t think she’s fully out the door I believe she can still serve better than she did and play a better game but your right she isn’t as powerful and quicker than some of her competitors which she doesn’t have to be because tennis is a mental sport more than anything. But Osaka is definitely the leader in women’s tennis.
Serena has alot to be proud of in this tournament. Her movement was better, her counter punching was better, she took Sabalenka who was arguably the hottest player on tour next to Osaka, and she dominated over Halep
I told my grown daughter to keep an eye on this female in 2017. Look how she has replaced Serena in tennis and as a legitimate role model icon. She's a Upgrade baby!
You can say that Serena is in her last days playing, not at her prime , she is not moving well and whatever. But my God, the way Naomi put her feet down, and gives all her respect to the legend beating her ass up like that with no mercy, with no fear, not been any intimidated. No one plays against Serena like that, at least not in the last 15 years or so. Simply amazing, thanks to Naomi I can enjoy womens tennis again
Stfu if that was a white woman you’d been elated she sustained Thru it all this long gtfoh... lol.. Osaka is just a lighter version of greatness you can’t obtain via sunlight she’s still the black man’s seed you asshole. And if your black you came off racist a bit! So I checked that Shit my bad if I’m out a line but she (Venus) deserves respect like Tom Brady Jordan hank Aaron Phelps bolt Mayweather etc gtfoh you don’t enjoy seeing greatness be great! Yo suck if you weren’t entertained by the Williams sisters domination of the sport You suck
I’m a huge Serena fan and often believe the match is always on her racquet but not with Naomi. Osaka had her on a string and wasn’t even playing her best. This is the first player ever Serena has faced that just beats her down right in all facets of the game. Kick serve , redirection, speed, spin and power.
Naomi is a Beast!!!! It’s so crazy to look at the influence that Serena has on her. She looks like a younger Serena literally. Let’s Give Serena some credit as well. She is almost 40 years young and still making to the end of majors. I hope she gets 24!!! But 23 slam titles?? Osaka has some work to do.
Believe or not I think that Serena is a litle intimadated by Osaka! Naomi doesn`t fear her serve like other players and tends to stand in even on the first serve. Plus Osaka can onload the heat whenever she`s in trouble. They have played four matches and none has gone the distance plus Serena has won two sets! That`s it two sets in four matches. Osaka is too much at ease playing against Serena.
Tennis is like a game of chess. You figure out lines of attacks -- common moves, instant responses. The difference between Henin and Clijsters who have achieved a lot in figuring that part of tennis out against the two top contenders, Venus and Serena, versus Naomi is that Naomi can execute with regularity AND power. Unreal. It is like BLITZ with Naomi. That is why slower players cause her so much trouble. She is playing BLITZ against a 10 minute game player like Hsieh. But even there in this tournament, she has figured it all out.
This is why I wish my parents put me in athletics at a very young age. That's the biggest unfair advantage life hack to success ever. It's nothing special to watch this otherwise.
LOTS of young adults mourn not having a childhood because their parents pushed them harder than they should have into a career that went nowhere.. Only a few in a billion make it to this level.
I would not say that. Serena was a dominant player for at least 15 years. When Naomi has won 23 grand slams, then we can talk about that. As always the issue imo with Serena is the possible steroid use. She suddenly looked way more muscular after a couple of years on tour, shades of Mark Mcguire and the steroid era of baseball. As usual you cannot say that the governing body on drug testing can be trusted, the history of these organizations in other sports is one of rampant corruption.
I get that serena is super passionate... but when you lose your composure like that, it kind of gives your competitor the advantage. they know you're in their head. i remember playing baseball in high school, our coach would always tell us "you get struck out, don't react. don't even look at the pitcher. just walk back to the dugout like he's never going to get another chance to shut you down."
Although the high standards she holds herself to can be admired, imo she shouldn't be letting loose such cries in the middle of the game - it's somewhat unprofessional and inappropriate.
Do not tell this woman to retire true fans give her support. She has had her chances to make history. She has been so close to 24 grand slams so many times. It is mental thing right now. She just has to think about winning each point instead of thinking about breaking records and being the goat. She can win more grand slams, it won't be easy but she can still do it.
It was not. Too many errors from both players as the stake was very high for both players and they were more nervous than usual. Anyway, still a very entertaining match though. Naomi hits many really beautiful backhand shots in this match towards the end of the match
To all the people making these weird assumptions. Clearly Serena was NOT playing her very best. That’s flat out clear. Serena is much older & has literally won EVERY SINGLE CHAMPIONSHIP there can be won in Tennis… Something Osaka has not done at all. Osaka also is YOUNGER and literally training to be the best. Why is it surprising that an older Serena whom is NOT training hard and whom has talked about retirement would be losing to Osaka whom has looked up to her and wanted to be the best and is training to be the best. Like come on people
The effort that Serena put to return the serve on the match point (9:46) had me in my feels🥺🥺🥺 You could tell by her grunt that she wanted to win so badly and she really didn’t want to lose😞😞
Her grunts translates to beg points againsts a formidable foe, Naomi just smoked williams so to speak, clear sign that time for her to focus to some other things out of court, lol
I think she's still an excellent player so she should play until she can't play anymore and that would be a proper legacy!! If she retires because she lost to Naomi, it would always be on record that she retired because she lost to Naomi. And therefore all the other Tennis players who lose to Naomi should also retire!!!! (The Whole of The WTA Female Players!!!!) As I said earlier, this is not Serena's best form. She has the body and physique to beat everyone including Naomi but it wasn't Serena's day. She is getting fitter after having her daughter. She can still improve her strength and movement to be even better than the 'Old Serena'. When Serena lost to Halep at Wimbledon, it was a 'Beating' and people thought that was the end of Serena but look what she did to Halep at the Aussie Open!! Serena is not finished; she's too strong to stop playing. She really is the best in History and she's still improving after becoming a Mother. Watch This Space; its NOT done yet!!!! You'd be surprised next time!!!
Its tough to say but this aint the Serena I know. Age is definitely play a factor but tbh, she should definitely pass the torch on to Osaka. She's going to kill it from now on.
Serena played and is still playing and one of the legend in the history of tennis, and she had her time to shy... But now Osaka has to fill up the crown it's her time to shy
Look: Ive been playing myself since 1992 Tennis.....i was the best 100 swiss womens player and i want say this: the younger u r, the more fearless, dynamic, faster and athletic u play and the older u r the wiser, more patient and various (net and more)......

Its fine to champion Osake she obviously demonstrated that she's a good player. The audacity to be crowing her the new "goat" is disrespectful we'll speak on this in another 22 year and see how she her legacy has held up. How easily you all forget that's the problem with "fake" fans.
i think Serena still has slams left in her, beating Osaka on a hardcourt right now is the most daunting thing in women's tennis. In as much as I love Naomi she has only made a dent at 2 of the 4 majors. I have thought all along that Serena's best chance to get #24 was at Wimbledon. Shockingly she has lost 2 finals that I was certain she was going to win. I still stand by the assertion that Wimbledon is there for her. Still
When Osaka found her rhythm in the match she totally dominated. Sooo clinical. Brilliant player can’t wait to see what the years to come hold for her.
She hits angles WELL!
She’s nowhere now unfortunately. I was so hoping for her to become the dominant player on the tour. She’s such a great player. Hope she finds her way back to the top.
To Everyone saying Serena would have won if she was younger, sorry but age factor is a part of any sport. Let's give Naomi the credit she deserves.
I am not taking away from Osaka's win! however comparing what happened on the court is basically, more energy vs. less energy, which is a part of growing older in all sports.
Not necessarily... a younger Serena would also be a less experienced one. You could also say an older more experienced Osaka would have won Serena decisively every time.

@@rayshawnellis6331 because she learned tennis in NY lmao
Agreed.
They were also disgusting in the 2019 final against andrescu. They kept cheering the errors so Serena could come back on the 2nd sert
Osaka's backhand was deadly.
It usually is.
This aged badly
This is one of the greatest matches of all history. A legend against a soon-to-be legend. Amazing. All the Serena fans, don't be so salty that she lost. Everybody has to step down at one point where a new generation moves in.
Yeah
Mochi: Yep. You see it happening across the tennis world, and it's fun watching it happen. The future looks exciting.
Yes, even the greatest of all time grows older.
True. Still has to happen with the men's big3 though...
Although the next gen in men's tennis is still not able to do this

True but Serena also used to have a lot of speed and stamina. That has changed. She was one step short all game.
Osaka knows just when to use her best strokes
That's actually a really good analogy!
Bóxers don’t do that
A young Serena could have returned some of Osaka's winners and put herself in position to hit better angles. Her lack of stamina in her old age and from motherhood forces her to hit as hard as she can and hope to end points early.

lol I think she's been thinking of the French Open and Wimbledon her whole life.
Serena can do it pregnant.
I think she can win on clay...look at madison keys blasting people off that surface.
I want to see Osaka crunch Serena into retirement. Nobody deserves what Serena did to her, in her first slam.
Yeah you know right

Serena is her own worst enemy , her grunts , her ridiculous out fits , her crying and her heavy ass is slowing destroying her .
I like it how Osaka doesn't need to excessively scream or intimidate umpires to win matches. Cool, calm and collected.
Do not tell this woman to retire true fans give her support. She has had her chances to make history. She has been so close to 24 grand slams so many times. It is mental thing right now. She just has to think about winning each point instead of thinking about breaking records and being the goat. She can win more grand slams, it won't be easy but she can still do it.
The black community don’t show Naomi enough Love 😤
we don't care. she's more Japanese in her mannerisms and demeanor anyway!! 😀
Please upload the full match
Naomi has the cutest low key grunt
Haha!
I lack self-insight, so am wondering why I enjoy this match soooooooo veryyyyyyy much! (21st time I've watched it)
finally, some good fucking highlights
Osaka is a dangerous 🇯🇵 Player
O DIDN'T COME TO PLAY SHE CAME WITH A CHAMPION MIND MENTALITY
This is called THE PERFECT GAME.
You must have missed the first few games.
Tons of errors from both and serving below 50%. That's not a good match
It was not. Too many errors from both players as the stake was very high for both players and they were more nervous than usual. Anyway, still a very entertaining match though. Naomi hits many really beautiful backhand shots in this match towards the end of the match
@@thomasmn9965 it was about fifty errors between the two over two sets and low first serve percentage. It was like watching Serena play her sister
@@Brandon-qr2or Indeed lol. But still an entertaining match nevertheless
To all the people making these weird assumptions.
Clearly Serena was NOT playing her very best.
That’s flat out clear.
Serena is much older & has literally won EVERY SINGLE CHAMPIONSHIP there can be won in Tennis… Something Osaka has not done at all.
Osaka also is YOUNGER and literally training to be the best.
Why is it surprising that an older Serena whom is NOT training hard and whom has talked about retirement would be losing to Osaka whom has looked up to her and wanted to be the best and is training to be the best.
Like come on people
Australian editors best in the world irrespective any sports
The effort that Serena put to return the serve on the match point (9:46) had me in my feels🥺🥺🥺 You could tell by her grunt that she wanted to win so badly and she really didn’t want to lose😞😞
lol who would want to lose
Her grunts translates to beg points againsts a formidable foe, Naomi just smoked williams so to speak, clear sign that time for her to focus to some other things out of court, lol
@@imivan05 its a process in a sport lol...
Maybe if she didn't grunt she'd focus better on not hitting so many error shots😂
@@imivan05 Venus always lose, if Serena stick around longer she will end up like Venus.
Osaka is such a beast
I think she's still an excellent player so she should play until she can't play anymore and that would be a proper legacy!! If she retires because she lost to Naomi, it would always be on record that she retired because she lost to Naomi. And therefore all the other Tennis players who lose to Naomi should also retire!!!! (The Whole of The WTA Female Players!!!!)
As I said earlier, this is not Serena's best form. She has the body and physique to beat everyone including Naomi but it wasn't Serena's day. She is getting fitter after having her daughter. She can still improve her strength and movement to be even better than the 'Old Serena'.
When Serena lost to Halep at Wimbledon, it was a 'Beating' and people thought that was the end of Serena but look what she did to Halep at the Aussie Open!! Serena is not finished; she's too strong to stop playing. She really is the best in History and she's still improving after becoming a Mother. Watch This Space; its NOT done yet!!!! You'd be surprised next time!!!
Osaka is great but she doesn’t touch prime Serena. Serena is literally in her 40s right now… insane
Its tough to say but this aint the Serena I know. Age is definitely play a factor but tbh, she should definitely pass the torch on to Osaka. She's going to kill it from now on.
Serena's grunting is kinda annoying and ostentatious. Makes me wanna root for Naomi. :D
Yep, it's obnoxious.
Sounds horrible
i like how naomi doesn't scream or do any grunting noises
Final game is the funniest moment. Reminded me of Federer Vs Berdych at the 2012 US Open
Serena played and is still playing and one of the legend in the history of tennis, and she had her time to shy... But now Osaka has to fill up the crown it's her time to shy
If Osaka can control emotion and weight , she will dominate another 10 years.
Look: Ive been playing myself since 1992 Tennis.....i was the best 100 swiss womens player and i want say this: the younger u r, the more fearless, dynamic, faster and athletic u play and the older u r the wiser, more patient and various (net and more)......
I didn't know a tennis match could be this violent!!The tension between them was insane!!You could think they hate each other!!
Add other matches too. Men's Singles Matches. Full length highlights
Without Sasha, serena williams can't win against Osaka, serena williams bring Sasha back or forget about 24
Osaka’s backhand was 🤩
Love to Serena! But also to Naomi. Both magnificent!
Naomi the new generation ALL STAR
Wow! Both amazing!!

So everytime naomi wins over Osaka people are going to discrédite her
you're confusing me!!😀
iTs ThE gIrL fRoM FoRtNiTe
That game at 4-4 was the definition of clutch
I wish she could do this more often and not just against Serena. I would like to see her make as many comebacks as her idol did.
Well done Naomi!
They focus more on this match then the actual finals lol
It's nice to see men and women playing together again.
who's the man??😀
Its fine to champion Osake she obviously demonstrated that she's a good player. The audacity to be crowing her the new "goat" is disrespectful we'll speak on this in another 22 year and see how she her legacy has held up. How easily you all forget that's the problem with "fake" fans.
love it
This is what commentary sounds like when someone is sitting on your face.
Lol
i think Serena still has slams left in her, beating Osaka on a hardcourt right now is the most daunting thing in women's tennis. In as much as I love Naomi she has only made a dent at 2 of the 4 majors. I have thought all along that Serena's best chance to get #24 was at Wimbledon. Shockingly she has lost 2 finals that I was certain she was going to win. I still stand by the assertion that Wimbledon is there for her. Still
Osaka somehow throw Serena off her game hugely.
