US Open Winner Naomi Osaka Speaks Out On Controversial Serena Williams Match | TODAY
![[FULL] 2018 US Open trophy ceremony with Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka | ESPN](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/jCm3BemDlj8/mqdefault.jpg)
The media wants her to give a controversial comment but she isn't falling for the bait
Smart girl. Glad to see her doing so well.
Jeremy, agree with you, the media are trying to fuel the fire. Naomi has been well brought up by her parents and this shows in the interview as also at the grand finals presentation.
Exactly 👍
I agree, Jeremy. She s so young but smart & mature beyond her age!(^^). Serena was her IDOL for all her life, so she's not about say anything negative about her. I think her parents have been doing a great job raising her being sensible & sensitive on tricky, messy situations. (^^)
@@knobed138 That was so unnecessary things to say about Serena. In case you don't know, NAOMI loves Serena... respecting & idealizing her for so many years, NAOMI will hate to see YOUR comment....calling her "Chimp". That's so rude!! 1 other viewer joined you with the disgusting comment about Serena & again, NAOMI would feel sad seeing that. I'm sure she feels she can do without the fans like you guys.
This girl is naturally humble. She doesn’t even need to try. I hope she stays grounded. A Good character that needs to be guarded.
I'm sure she'll stay grounded. Just like most of tennis players.
Japanese culture my friend
Murt ,
wrong. Japanese and Haitian .......humility and respect for elders abound in so many cultures.
She grew up in Japan, not Haiti. Your adaption to culture depends on the environment, not your born race. DUH
Murt ,
wrong again. She actually grew up in Miami. she left Japan when she was 3yrs old. D'duh!!. Humility and respect is actually taught and imparted/influenced on kids in their earliest formative years, a trait that is definitely not American although she was raised here.
I think the interviewers should ask more about Naomi, not about Serena. I hope they show more respect to Naomi.
That doesn't get views.
It would help if she wasnt asian. Asians possess a pariah effect in western media.
RecoveringChristian she is half black.
Its not about 'the poor little girl who was amazing' but more of an opportunity to reinforce divinity of their diva and further deify their goddess.
In time to come when things will be done and said." and paraventure it will one day and when it does you'll will turn on her too the same way you do on Serena.remember she is half black???? You people are Just two tounge haters.
The interviewers are TERRIBLE. I wanted to hear about Naomi, not Serena, Serena, Serena...
First frame says it all.
Right
Thank you
Exactly
People want drama.....
This poor girl played her heart out and won and doesn't even get to enjoy it...shame on the people running the ceremony for letting that go on the way that it did.
Its not fair... :(
Hi Diana, On the upside for her though, she just got 10x more exposure than she would have by just winning. And managed to be the only one who came out looking good from every angle. At 20 years old in her career this will probably work out very well for her with a big boost in her profile, extra sponsorship, extra fans, extra appearance fees etc.
she'll just have to win again..should serve as motivation.
Diana Brown amen!
Shame on the line judge for CHEATING.
America embraces you Naomi... Forget that fake crowd at the US open.... You're a true champ
fafafuhi 22
Well, she's an American citizen, so that's sort of obvious
Not just America.. the whole world
u mean " NEO ME"
Please remember that the crowd didn't really know or understand what was going on or why there was a game penalty, etc. They were booing because an "outside influence" (as in other than the match) robbed them of a wonderful match that cost them a ton of money to watch. Love Naomi and Serena!
((ʚ( ´ ꒳ ` )ɞ))
These hosts are a joke they didn't even research her! She's played Serena before but they thought it was the first time!! Bad hosts!!
Yes, she had already won against Serena before this US Open and had also won against Venus.
yes very poor !
Yep, a blunder like that should be enough to get you fired but LOL US talkshows I guess
Bulletproofcammy im sure they didnt even bother to research about naomi but just invited her here to lure her to say things against serena so they can publish that on paper
B K she’s amazing
This was the worst interview! WHAT DOES SERENA SMELL LIKE!??!? SERENA, SERENA! All of Osaka's photos of her winning have Serena in them.
Sophia E i mean she brings views
Sophia E, because Serena's win was stolen period! we all see it, only morons like you don't!
@@shaiska hahaha seems to me that you don't.
@Sam Buddy it's a pitty because Osaka was an amazing player and could possibly be the next tennis star. But who cares!!! Serena Serena Serena!
Did Osaka Blowup?
She won the U.S. open, she played like a champion and acted like a champion. She should be proud.
Unfortunately, the crowd didn't allow her to feel like a champion though. It hurt to see her so depressed up on the podium as she was getting ready to receive her trophy...
No one will feel proud when the whole crowd is booing them.
C'mon. Stop asking her about Serena. Talk about her win and her. If you want to talk about Serena, bring Serena on the show.
Thank you
True
Emily Wang agreed 💯
Exactly!!!
This show is like the View.. it's just women gossiping... the win isn't important to them
So pure and innocent. Now she's got to start a life of dealing with the ugliness of fame. Ugh. Such a sweet girl!
DennygirlJO
And if people like you call her pure and innocent when interacting with this girl, she’s going to do the opposite to shed that image. No one likes to be treated like a unicorn. That’s why, when I see people like this, I deal with them straight up. I don’t compliment them like this because she isn’t going to want to be treated like a little girl. I’m not bashing you. I just wanna point this out.
@@ManPursueExcellence I'm not bashing you but you really don't sound intelligent when I read your post! ! Luckly this is TH-cam and everyone has an opinion!! I believe what she wrote was dead on.....sounds like she is a mom and she can see what's up.....
Cathy Anness
She is correct in what she said. I’m saying that.....if people approach this girl about being pure and innocent, it can cause an opposite reaction. Did you ever feel like being called that, as a young lady? Were you shy enough to get that compliment or were you a little fast? I think the girl is innocent too but, I wouldn’t say “pure.” She is a human. Lol
She probably different amongst her peers. Don’t question my intelligence. You are out of your league.
@@ManPursueExcellence I don't feel bashed ☺️. When I said 'she is pure', I meant that she's pure in her responses. Like when you won that game right before she played Serena, I think it was the semi finals, she told the interviewer that she loves Serena when the interviewer asked her if she had anything to say to Serena.
Brad Rawiszer
Serena has always been a bit of a sore “loser,” although she is the absolute best Lol. She loses her temper easily. No wonder Venus always looks disinterested when playing Serena. I think, as the older sister, she considers Serena’s feelings. In this match against Naomi, there was time for Serena to let the heat die between her and the umpire but, nooooo, she just had to keep it going when she sat back down, which led to that “verbal abuse” penalty.
Stop stealing Naomi's moment!!!
Naomi won, but all the talk is about Serena.
Thanks Serena. Everything's about you as always.
Why not talk about her own successful career instead of Serena ?
It's a shame the interviewers said she came out of nowhere, anyone who half-follows tennis knows she has been on the rise for a while
Its America soooo we know what we talking bout ..
Because she's not American so she's not important in their eyes.
The Centrist she actually IS American. She’s a US citizen and has lived here for like 17 years. She just chooses to play for Japan... I don’t get it.
feliceluvzya1 my first point is now, yes.
Is this a Serena interview or an Osaka interview?
Justin Flynn very confused about the interview? All about Serena! Give her some
credit!!! Bad interview...she looks/sounds very humble!
Justin Flynn no jake paul interview
Justin Flynn
Exactly....they expected to put them against each other. But her dad had promoted her already about these tactics ling ago up to the day of this interview. She also has watched Serena' career since she was a small child. So, the black father has taught his child about Serena's struggles as a black woman in a white man's game. Notice, how Everytime that tried to ask leading questions regarding Serena her facial expression changed? She really respects and Honors Serena. Very humble.....unlike Most Rap and Music artist in the industry that disrespect those whom paved their way.
Naomi doesn't need to apologise for anything.
I think in a way she is apologizing on behalf of Serena and her bad behaviour because Serena isnt mature enough to apologize herself for the couching from the stage and calling the ampire a theif and throwing a tiff saying its for womans rights...
sure, someone hates black people. don't worry japanese people are democratic, you shouldn't root for either peter!
Agree. And at the same time I am truly appreciate the way she showed the Japanese spirit. She is humble, strong, adorable and beautiful.
well Said
I felt so bad that she needs to apologize. She seems like a lovely young lady.
How can you NOT LOVE NAOMI OSAKA!? She is AMAZING in soo many ways , and many individuals can learn from her 🙂
I wish I can be her best Friend !!😄😄😄😄😄😄

@@thunderouspredator4299 I wish I could be more than her friend
A sweeeeeeet black women queen 👑
@@markhuton3972 You know she is also japanese, not just black...
Naomi is the winner give her some credit she's one lady her being nervous is so cute
SOME credit? Give everyone a break!!! She deserves ALL the break. She won fair ans square. Serenanus messed up and that's her own fault.
Markus 'damnit u said it!' !!!
fairy princess Quit being a racist!!
Her hair is gorgeous.
fairy princess , Let me guess, you are a black woman yourself? Did you not see that her being coached? Did you not see her break the racket? Did you not see her call the umpire a thief?? Stop blaming white people for everything.
Terrible interview...they didnt make her feel like a winner. She deserves more respect! She does not seem happy.
Naa Mills RE Matchmaker savana is so unprofessional, literally making feel like she was a nobody
Exactly what I was thinking!
Right after they stole points from Serena
Tiffany Williams no points were stolen
It was a terrible interview, but it certainly wasn't disrespectful. Sappy and nonsubstantive, more like it. They DID try to make her feel like a winner, and that's exactly what's wrong with this interview and so many others. What ever happened to actually asking interesting questions to try to get interesting answers, instead of fawning all over the interviewee?
Not appreciating the fact that all they're talking about is the controversy rather than asking how was the entire journey and what led up to the surreal moment of winning the grand slam.
Maria Asad agreed!!
We don’t live in that kind of world unfortunately. It’s more interesting to talk about the controversy that surrounded that match than a player winning a grand slam ( even if it is for the 1st time)...
True that! :/
Because it is a controversy. Being disqualified for a potential incorrect call made by a ref is kind of a big deal.
Because all any of them really care about is gossip around Serena.
Shameful trying to lure an innocent humble girl to give her opinion against the beloved idol. She handled it diplomatically.
When you have two interviewers and they still can't ask any decent questions...
time for some new younger hosts, this ain't it
Yes they can,they do the best job possible to ask,sometimes it can be difficult as with every job available .
@@seanmontgomery801 I mean, their job(especially sports reporter) is to make someone say something controversial so they can put it on a paper and gain more traffic. So, in that case they were bad at their job cause Naomi didn't take the bait and they seemed like they didn't even bother to research about their special guest.
So,let me get this straight,the sports reporters that interview athletes set them up to make controversial comments to get them in trouble and make them look good at their job.The crowd is not fake.Naomi is cute,a good player,lucky,all because Serena got too many bad breaks.This should have been Serena's 24th GS,moment (Grand Slam),and she deserved a better fate,but nothing went right at all.If they meet up again,for a championship,I hope Serena wins.
She's a pretty shy girl. She handles interviews a lot better than me. I would be sweating a river.
she is not a girl for heavens sake.she is20 years old.
You are not going to get to bang this Haitian Japanese woman - that's for sure.
Being a professional tennis player is a very isolating and structured life; she probably does not have the same exposure to normal social events like a typical 20 year old.
the best thing is how this shy kid turns on the court into a killer without nerves
I don't think she is shy at all. She is polite and soft spoken but shy, NO ! she is actually strong and confident like a Bull inside. Don't believe the facade she gives you. Look at her eyes as she gazes at people, there is a fire breathing Bull behind those eyes. I have training on these things.
"How did it feel to play Serena for the first time?"-- "Actually, I played her in Miami" --These reporters didn't do their homework haha..
Josue166 ‘Reporters’....lol
Of course not
0:40 thats not what she said
exactly. and she won against Serena on Miami too.
SHE GETS HER FACTS TRAIGHT
She’s so adorable 😭
And cute.
Not really, she does not shine
Simps
@@noodlesrl8488 u never touched a woman before sush
@@sallybally344 that is ur opinion and I will respectfully disagree my friend she's adorable
The one and only player in the world ever to have apologised for winning a match! Long way to go, young lady! You have won my heart ♥ too.
Rafa did too against roger th-cam.com/video/ypdSpGJTa18/w-d-xo.html but I know what you mean it is not something many people would be able to do, she seems like a special person with a really pure heart. I like her, I'm sure we'll be hearing from her a lot from now on.
I don't think she was apologizing for winning, just for the circumstances of the penalties spoiling the moment.
@@robin212212 Her actual quote " I’m sorry. I know that everyone was cheering for her and I’m sorry it had to end like this." quite shocking, isn't it?
Roberta Vinci apologized to the crowd for beating Queen Serena in the U.S. Open semifinal a few years ago. Seems every time the Queen loses, somebody feels the need to apologize. That's because people have the Queen so high up on a pedestal. Apparently, all the winning she's done isn't enough for them. They want her to win *every* match. News flash: There's over 120 other extremely talented and eager women entered into the main draw of any given Grand Slam tournament. Personally, l hope Serena Williams never wins another Grand Slam championship, especially after what happened on Saturday. Whenever the utterly egocentric Williams realizes she's about to lose in a major tournament, she creates a distraction, an excuse. She's been like that throughout her career.
Amar Sapam Sharapova also apologized to Serena for beating her.
she is so humble and shy such a sweet human being
She's such a breath of fresh air, humble, kind and thoughtful and her Mom so sweet
Zeno1999 Tell me one good/famous African tennis player. I can name quite a few Japanese players.
She is SO Humble .. I LOVE Her!! A Very Talented Player!! you GO Girl!!!
Serena Williams would be ashamed of herself I'll never look at her the same way again. What goes around comes around
These liberal biased nuts are trying to create news and Naomi didn’t fall for it. Naomi’s honesty is very evident, because she has been interviewed few times now and her answers didn’t change. No matter how they are presented to her, her answers are the same. Hope she doesn’t become another arrogant brad like the one she just defeated. Do you see? When good character is present, nationally, race, skin color, gender, are all irrelevant. She is a beautiful skillful human being! Hope success doesn’t destroy her!
PeaceFan1 God bless her
Congrats to you Ms Osaka you played excellent tennis it's unfortunate that you had to endure the controversial decision of the umpire . enjoy your victory and I wish you great success in the future
@@eme1286 wow you guys who are pretending to be supportive of Ms Osaka I see right through you all lol I predict when Serena finally retires as the greatest female tennis player of all time and Ms Osaka takes over the reigns as a black woman your racist hate will be directed at her. But guess what she is prepared and ready
Now in 2021, she said she's been depressed since back then. You can see the sadness in her eyes. Blessings to you Naomi! ❤
Everyone is not as tough as others. I think she had an emotional problem before. She will be ok.
@@sonjaanderson6933 I agree that she would’ve had some issues before, maybe with her mum who “doesn’t normally go to her matches” or her dad who doesn’t watch the games either… she seems fragile and was probably pushed hard by her parents!
@@sonjaanderson6933 how are you going to tell her how SHE felt ?
@@TheKatchutes she said it started at 2018 us open so how are you going to tell her ?
@@alazjaw.8968 i move on from that comment. I cannot remember this but thanks for checking on these comments after the fact.

But no one cares about Naomi
i like your profile pic
I like this sister
IT'S MAV Wakanda is not real
Sun Flower yes yes. This interview actually angered me. She is so sweet and humble. Leave Serena out of it.
this was a terrible interview. I haven't learned anything about her other than what she felt at the ceremony. naomi deserves better.
zaak186 umm well
zaak186 .. not surprising though .. NBC is Fake News.
all american news channels are fake or garbage news. so biased about one theme or another instead of.....report... british news are way to different, always frontal with the news and the fact, no opinions at all.
Zaak186, I so agree.
darkcloud .. the BBC are Fake News .. along with The Guardian; the Daily Mirror; The Sunday Mirror and countless others - too many to mention ... plenty of garbage comes out of the UK.
Naomi has a diamond heart.
Humble & a genuine person she is...
Stfu you don't know anything about her
@ someone cant compliment a person without ppl like you being outtatiming
Takes notes everyone. Humility at its finest.
Let Naomi have her moment. Stop addressing Serena who can speak for herself.
I agree!!! She can't even enjoy her moment.
I agree.
Agreed. She earned this championship.
But Serena is the darling of the liberal press: how dare this little Japanese ruin her legend?!
Naomi Osaka must renounce her victory because the patriarchy plotted against Serena Williams! Otherwise she is a racist, homophobic, Islamophobic fascist.
Well said!
Hate to watch this interview.....it's all about serena?? Ask her how she got into tennis, her childhood, and her parents. Apologize for what? Give her, her moments, she is the winner!!??

Green Plant the sad part is Osaka whoop Serena before at the Miami Open real bad. Serena knew she was going to lose!
Josh D John but without TH-cam you don’t find out the facts on the matter. Fact one, Osaka kicked Serena’s behind in the Miami Open dominantly and Serena then found out Osaka is actually also half Haitian so played the sexist card which is also a fail since this ref also penalized Nadal and Federer before and is known to be strict!
Thank you
Makes me angry, but you can't expect anymore from these hosts/this show. Drama before news.
DAM TALK ABOUT HER SHE WON NOT SERENA
its news, they want more and more views so they would talk about the controversy
EXACTLY SMH THEY SAID SERENAS NAME ABOUT 20 TIMES
We'll talk Naomi the next 10 years. We'll talk Serena maybe 10 more weeks.
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly!!!
As the crowd began booing, one could clearly see it inpacted her instantly and like a ton of rocks. Her body language shifted 180 degrees and when she began pulling down her cap and the tears streaming down her cheek, my heart broke and I honestly began crying too.
Such innocense and pureness. TRUE CHAMPION
Poor Naomi her interview was made about Serena. Why bring her on any interview if your gonna ask about her opponent who lost?..
Pete key Ikr
I completely agree. The person “shock” below is just slime. Who says stuff like that, who thinks it? Want to be it’s a genuine troll living in a basement? Lol
Shock you shut his f.. mouth up 😂😂😂

BEATING SERENA WILLIAMS

Beyond cringe
@@balancedlif3308 yet you’re here
They are terrible interviewers they just kept bringing it back to serena.
Tcc total tossers they are Serena is their god esp the big face in pink
I was thinking the same thing. It made me angry. I wanted to know more about Osaka but end up hearing more of Serena. This poor Girl and she is soo calm cause I would've lost my temper on the interviewers
Who cares about Serena!? Naomi won period, she is the grand slam champ period! Congrats Naomi!
Tcc Because most ppl are interested in this topic moron!
The Diggler I’m interested in finding out more on the girl who won at age 20 not a sore loser who pulls every card possible to try ruin her opponents moment.
Ask her about her. This interview is sad.
Thank you!
Agree. These old ladies are phoney, but ratings are more important. So they need to keep Serena at the top of the interview.
They did at the beginning but we all knew where it was going
Thank you
nicholas A (
I feel bad for Naomi. In her dreams she probably thought of cheering and happiness. But the drama, and booing turned it into a sad moment she wasn’t expecting.
Luke Colenutt Yep. All because of a sore loser. Such a shame.
That's true but i wont be that sad if im going home with 4 million dollars .
MARY HARTMAN, MARY HARTMAN. Lol. Good.
MARY HARTMAN, MARY HARTMAN Williams is a pitiful human. I expected nothing less. Smh.
Really b/c I've only seen Serena as nothing but gracious. Did you hear her talk to the referee. She was simply reasoning with him and she disagreed. When she got frustrated on the court she did something that was fine-worthy. Not worthy of being called a pitiful human. Have you ever played sports at her level in front of millions? Never been frustrated?
Her win was so overshadowed by Serena’s little outburst
No wonder she wears a tutu. Spoiled little girl having a tantrum.
Little?
i am a Serena big fun but that day she disappointed me so much ! i was hurt for Naomi who actually played so high level that Serena was loosing and she did not want to accept the defeat ! I think Serena learned a lesson right after the match and congratulated Naomi but the damage on her character was huge !
Interviewers are aweful. Ask her about her win, her process and her familys joy, not about serena. Sometimes the interviewers are totally useless
Its called Narrative that's what the media wants and they ask questions to try to push that Narrative.
Regimeshifts that’s like mostly all they talked about
Sometimes..?
I’m glad, the drama was too much, this isn’t about Serena, this is about her. Let ESPN blab about Serena’s meltdown, Naomi is staying in her lane and she won.
That is because savannah guthrie is should be fired so bad interview....she wouldn’t let go the Serena Williams thing and Savannah was put in her place by omarosa
You didn't need to apologise! You won! Congratulations... Enjoy your moment!
Yep, she should have been like Larry White on the Simpsons: "You people make me sick!".
I hate it when people say someone "came out of nowhere"! She didn't come out of nowhere, she's being somewhere honing her skills. I find it insulting.
I get what you are saying. She was an "overnight success" after probably 10 years of very, hard work. But, it is true that hardly anyone had heard of her until recently.
@@johngarry1238 I just think there's a better way to refer to someone as a newbie.
Like it's like they haven't even watched the whole US Open she's been dominating
Yeah that is insulting if taken out of contest like you did, she clearly said she looks arrived out of nowhere ''for people who don know tennis so well'' ,which is a very true statement. I dont know tennis so well and i had never heard of her. And many other people as well.
So very true. It would have been wonderful to have learned more about HER during her first post US Open interview. Instead, most of the questions were about Serena.
Take a lesson... THIS is how a Champion carries themselves. The US Open Crowd behaved deplorably.
This shy girl is a BEAST!!! (on the court)
Absolute beast indeed... 110-115 mph serve and she’s a good returner.
She is like a cute, little bunny rabbit...that kills lions.
I bet in bed too
Joe Silkwood u go girl! u won! dont let no body take that away! we love. u and serena! u both rock!👏👏👏👏
I hope you realize this is her last major win.
The Comp will eat her alive.
It’s hard staying on top.
Most of the questions about Serena!!! Can’t believe it.
well believe it. it has just been said to 1.3 million people.
I can believe it!!!! I didn't even know who this girl was ...but I know who Serena is...but congrats to her..she did win.
Because they were trying to trick Naomi into saying something bad about Serena, but Naomi wasn't having any of it.

say what?
Sharon Brooks true indeed love
Naomi you handled this most unfortunate situation with a grace and humbleness.THIS WAS HER DREAM TO PLAY HER IDOL SERENA AT THE US OPEN FINAL. Sadly, Serena, the crowd and the disgraceful comment by Katrina Adams "Perhaps this was not the finish we were looking for today". utterly spoiled Naomi's moment. Can you imagine? Naomi just achieved her dream and she should have been celebrated, not booed. Even with all those insulting comments and bad behavior by Serena, the crowd and Katrina Adams, Naomi apologized for winning because she knew if she were in the stand she would've been rooting for Serena. I am glad to see so many Americans and non-Americans applauding for Naomi's grace. So THANK YOU! Can someone please tell me name(s) of Grand Slam champions from the past who won unexpectedly against the crowd's favorite player and ended up being treated this poorly and yet somehow managed to be so humble and still respectful towards the crowd and the sore loser? Serena is one of the players known to have bad temper on court. She used the F word towards one of the line's people at the US open 2009, and got fined for that. This umpire called her for verbal abuse because Serena kept berating him and wouldn't let go. No, Serena didn't use curse words but it was how Serena kept verbally abusing the umpire "You owe me an apology" " Say you are sorry" " You will never work on one of matches". I don't think I was only one who was cringing as Serena acted like a bully. When it was all said and done at the press conference, Serena had turned this into gender inequality issue. Serena, if you act even remotely like how classy Chris Evert was, situations like this would never happen in the first place. You are a legend and little kids look up to you so please practice self restrain a little.I'm Japanese and we were taught to be humble and gracious from childhood. Her mother clearly kept the tradition. Naomi even thanked the crowd for watching and thanked Serena for playing and took a bow. HOW SO JAPANESE OF HER!
BTW: Naomi completely outplayed Serena, just saying.
That comment by Katrina Adams made me so angry. "Perhaps this was not the finish we were looking for today" .
Then even before Serena asked the crowd to stop booing, she said to the crowd " we will get through this together"
Once again, making it all about her .
Naomi said Serena told her she was proud of her . Naomi still loves and respect Serena a great deal. The two ladies do not hate each other . I think Naomi fans should let this go because clearly she is not upset with Serena. When woman have a child , it can have them very emotional . I forget the medical term for it. Now lets not forget that Naomi has lost to Karolina Pliskova .
Tak O Serena was Dealing with racism the whole game and WE ALL KNOW THAT. Also Naomi identities as black.
@@jasmineartis5754 Ohhh go away. Serena wouldn't know what racism is, she is an elite top level sports star and has been since 14 years of age, she has had sponsors and fans kissing her feet for most of her life. There was no racism in this game, it was about whether or not her coach was using hand signals, which he admitted at the end of the game he did. The Umpire Carlos Ramos is Portuguese - so colored. Basically came down to Serena acting like a spoilt brat and you have completely tried to turn a temper tantrum for losing a point to Naomi into a race issue. Pathetic.
@@ryancarper595 i think they meant "whole game" as since she has being playing in this type of sport because we all know the hate she received in her career. Non one can deny it. The original comment is implying that throughout her career she has always been the bad one like make it make sense pls
That last question was unnecessary. They were tryin to drag her into a trap and take side. Horrible interviewers with 100% fake smile
Ikr. She answered that question perfectly
@@steventaylor1522 exactly. She knew it's a trap. Smart kid
She was far too clever for the NBC fake face pushers. Far too clever for the big momma too.
@@sintjohnwitbooi490 they are more like vampires to me. She was the innocent young lady among vampires. They did the same yesterday in another interview with her. Same ugly questions
They're soo fake it's cringey. Was someone discretely giving the presenters both a colonoscopy during the interview?
You see how humble the young lady is? Class act! Love her❤️
She is Japanese. Japanese people are very humble.
mezxo Anen❣️🙏🏼
Tanmoy Saikia she’s also Haitian
Well she's Japanese
Tanmoy Saikia they say she grew up in a Haitian household after leaving Japan at 3 yrs old. I’d say she got values from both sides. She’s both Haitian AND Japanese. Don’t do that, there are clear negative undertones to your comment. You should have just let the original poster’s nice comment stand as is. Also, Naomi would correct you like she’s done others and say no I’m Japanese & Haitian. Stop being so divisive & let people be people.
You invited the champion and you ask her questions about an other player... so rude...
very rude
Raphaël D exactly
If you are human with brain you would know something is wrong with the interviewers. Definitely WRONG
raphael d----due to the fact that ...this situation...happened DURING her match....wasn't exactly rude.......
It's nothing new. they do it to everyone in entertainment.
She’s everything Serena isn’t. Thoughtful, respectful, kind and classy. This is the type of person we should admire in America. I realize she didn’t want to win this way, but it’s of no fault of her own and she shouldn’t be made to feel bad about it in any way. Quite the opposite. Shame on those who made her feel guilty about winning fairly and achieving!
Mr. Sotack thank you
You sound stupid
You're so wrong about Serena! You don't even know her so don't judge her!
@@paregraham2388 Well we have seen her unsportsmanlike and aggressive behaviour for years whenever she is losing. So we have a good idea of what she's like.
@@meltedsnowman9637 people change though so don't hold them accountable for their past actions. Yes she may have been aggressive but she had a reason this time why she acted out
Smart girl, don't get dragged into drama that's not yours. Congrats!
ITS ALL THEY WANT...NEGATIVE DRAMA
Smart young lady!! She would not drink the Kool-Aid and they knew, she knew what they were trying to do👍
You don't need to apologize girl! You won it fair and square!
Maria Asad it’s a Japanese tradition to apologize it’s kinda natural amongst the japanese
She's weak. She won by default
Maria Asad Nah, you can't say that - Serena was unfairly treated by the umpire and if the final result was influenced by the situation. You can't say for sure the outcome would have been the same if these events had not transpired.
@@youngknowledge1 This is not the first time she has beaten Serena.
No one asked you
She's good at staying out of trouble by avoiding answer controversial questions.
She shouldn't have been asked. This is HER time as a winner, not Serenas. VERY unprofessional and insensitive interview.
Yes. I noticed that too. She even came across as confused/unsure instead of deliberately refusing to answer a controversial question for PR purposes... That's some finesse right there.
Yea shes good she just kept her opinions
What's wrong in avoiding controversy anyways. It her moment, it's better if she doesn't make it about anyone else.

It just means she's smart.
Love from INDIA..Congratulations OSAKA..HAVE A GREAT CAREER.Be like this for ever.May the fame cannot steal your innocence and simplicity. Maintain it throughout your tennis career. The sky is the limit.
What an amazing superstar. So happy for her ❤️
Its a transformer you know a dragman no doubt
Black&Japanese!!!!!
I hope Serena loses all of her endorsements. She lied about the coaching; smashed her racquet and called Ramos a thief. The only thief was Serena stealing this beautiful moment from this beautiful young woman. Naomi didn't come out of nowhere - she destroyed Serena in Miami earlier this year and had her number. She was up 6-2 over Serena who then lost it. Turning it into a women's right issue is a vast stretch. Ramos has called put men players for far less - do a search on "Djokovic and Ramos" on YT.
Love Japanese culture, we can learn a lot from her.. now look at that Barack woman Serena Williams 🤦🏻♂️ typical Barack losers played victim mentality politics 🤣🤣🤣
I follow the tour and my wife and I have always disliked Osaka (she can bug). As a #1 Serena fan since 1997 I couldn't stand her beating Serena with Sasha as her coach 😠.
I stood with my hero even
when Serena said she would shove a tennis ball down the lineswomans F******* throat. I didn't even bat an eye through ANY of her controversies.
This is sad. Talk to her about why she loves Tennis...her favorite music....this sucks but Naomi you did a great job anyway.
Agree
Whats Naomi backwards?
i just want to give her the biggest hug
Naomi Osaka 100% deserved to win! I love Naomi and I am rooting for her today in US Open 2019!!!
Wish they asked more questions about her training.
Florida tennis academy.
VMWashington25 right, this is an interview about her not Serena. I hope other interviewers do a better job next time.
Nobody cares about that
What a respectful young lady she is by not talking bad about her idol Serena. I don't think it's necessary here and she will be part of the new generation of great tennis players. She's the one to watch!
Horrible interview by Hoda and Savanna. So much more that they could have talked about but instead spent the entire interview talking about Serina.
They were trying to get her to backup Serena's story about sexism as a reason for her loss. It was sickening.
I loved watching Serena play. But Naomi is the champion and will definitely defeat Serena again and again and again.
When the empire steals games it also steals the winners moment. It puts an * next to their win
I'm sorry but it's a bit ridiculous to think they wouldn't ask her about it. Taylor Swift won a Grammy but Kanye interrupted It's stupid to think she wouldn't have gotten asked about how she felt as it is dumb to think it wouldn't come up now. Putting your head in the sand solves nothing. But I guess it makes the Serena haters feel better about themselves for some reason.
It's "umpire" not empire. He didn't steal anything, he was doing his job according to the rules. Please look them up and don't be ignorant.
She's so humble it's great to see her. Can't wait to cheer her on in other matches.
Naomi now I know why you dont do interviews...the INTERVIEW was supposed to be about you not Serena...sorry
Good point!
Thank you
She gets to win Grand Slam tournaments by losing ... I think I get it.
g7924 she’s only 20 and already bear Serena twice,
but its what the people want! including me! kekeke
Hi Naomi, Serena.. . Serena... Serena... Serena.. Serena.. Serena. Interview over.
MsBillygrey I
You obviously haven't read the title, what did you expect.
naomi`s interview xD
MsBillygrey 😂😂😂
Hahaha 😂
Osaka is the champ && all the media wants to talk about was Serena Williams? Geez.. let Osaka shine! Give her her moment.
BLANSTAR21 it's just like the kardashians where they all want to just talk about Kim and destiny's child where they all want to talk about bey
This is what happens when you steal games from people. You also steal the moment from the person that won.
Giving her her moment was made IMPOSSIBLE by the umpire. Not the media's fault.
The umpire was doing his job. Look up the rules, that's why they have them.
Say it ain't so
The interviewers are actually condescending.
She felt the need to apologize...... for winning .......what had we done to her...... I never thought This would ever happen..... but ok .... where is the logic people......?
Jasson Martinez yea that’s weird she shouldn’t feel the need to apologize, but she seems like the people pleaser type lol
Thats that Japanese culture boi
She has lived in the US for 17 years lol.. she's more American than Japanese
Manuel Rabelo
If mum is full Japanese, the kids are carrying a Japanese culture where ever they live. Our kids are the same.
@@bluekiwi1463 her surname is Japanese as well so the father is probably Japanese as well so it just adds more validity to the statement
Congratulations Naomi Osaka!
thomascampr Serena, is getting old and FAT!! She should retire. 🤨
fairy princess ...How pathetic !!
@@ireneshafer4821 WILLIAM BROTHERS ruined women's tennis
thomascampr You got that right! Time for younger tennis players that don’t look like they could run you over! They look too BIG!! 😳😝
us open final
Serena, serena, serena. Cant they ask about her life instead?
Lol that gets views
Bruce Wayne exactly.
if you clicked on the video than clearly you were interested in the topic
No because social justice;)
American media fixated on Americans. It's always been the same. The olympics are far worse. They pass up an interview with a gold medal winner from another country to get the bronze winning American's point of view.
Her “thank you” at the beginning made me want to give her a hug
She's beautiful.. Inside and out.
Smh...
He’s just givin props
Stop hating
T Mayo JUST LIKE YOUR PARENTS DONT WANT YOU.
Shes average in looks but seems nice.. I think your just thirsty
nasty
she's ugly bro.
I love her authenticity and how she doesn't pander to what people want her to say. Twenty Year Old Grand Slam Champion. Say her name: Naomi Osaka, the unforgettable.
This is only the beginning for her too
Naomi Osaka, The Sweetheart!
She got a gimme.
Jordy Schol she raised in Florida around her Haitian side
Serena Williams won her at the age of 17
Naomi played well, with grace and good sportsmanship. No reason for her to apologize. Best wishes to her!
It was a horrible mistake for her to apologize.
She's young though. Young people give in to the pressure of the moment.
Such a beautiful young lady. Keep being humble I’m a new fan now. I seen how you spoke to Coco you are the best.
This young lady is a SWEET PEA. I love Serena but I’m proud of this young lady too. Congrats Sweetie! 🙂❤️🇹🇹
SidniOrchids Here Here
🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
She's Haitian put that flag away
Pinkish Gold I think the world is pretty aware of where this young lady is from and mixed with. So what you are saying a Trini can’t show a Haitian love, IGNORAMOUS?!?! And there’s nothing golden about you if you are making IGNORANT comments like that. You should change your name to “PINKISH IGNOMOLD”. 😂🔥😂🔥😂🔥🇹🇹
@@SidniOrchids smh ppl..
Do not apologize!!!!!!! You WON. I understand why she is emotional but Naomi you need to hold your head up high and be proud. Serena is a champion but she can not win every game!!!!
She has very right to feel uncertain about her win. There were bad calls made and it sucks because she deserved a
fair win. They both deserved a fair match and ref took that away from them.
Indeed!...Serena got what she's been deserving all these years...her attitude was totally unacceptable for a person with her status as a tennis champion and legend!...
@@SmartRobot-wc2fb smh
1000% i agree with you 👍👍
@@10byrdie Thank you!! 👍
Seriously though Savanah why are you asking her that. She played a great match and Serena will regroup and win more slams. But this one was Naomi's.
prettimiggi agreed
Serena is Done..Naomis Time is Now..
lmao that's hilarious. You should try stand-up.
i agree...what happened are two different things...she won so let her have her time...now what happened to serena is a totally different issue..they were being rasist toward her regardless if she won or not..they were wrong.
prettimiggi Savannah always asks annoying questions...
As a Chinese, I like her for her calmness and humility and so proud that she represents the virtue of east Asian culture. Very different from the antagonist, arrogant character of Serena. Very intelligent answers not to give any more things to the media. Best of luck to you Osaka! Lovely to see some fresh new face and she completely deserves the title. But in the future, don't apologize for things you didn't do! Warmest regards from Shanghai, China.
why say "as a Chinese" I am sick of identity politics
Japanese maybe, Chinese, not so much. Case in point, when Chinese swimmers
clue: don't start a sentence with "as a black / Chinese etc. Just say as a human, we don't care what group you identify as.
Naomi is just a humble gifted tennis player. Just happened to have Haitian/Japanese parents.
@@joshuavd5194 it’s relevant because ms naomi is from Japan/ is also asian, so the commenter just wanted to give gratitude for upholding asian politeness in such a stressful situation
"Coming out of nowhere" !! Apparently the interviewers didn't even know that Naomi won Indian Wells earlier this year. The "fifth slam", WTA premium5.
Exactly! And to follow up saying she's been working for this since she was 3 years old. That's not coming out of nowhere.... Congratulations Naomi! 👏👏👏
Stupid mainstream hosts pretending they know anything about the players.
Wrong questions! Do your homework!
Quite insulting to say “out of nowhere” wtf
She said, "for people who don't know tennis as well as others..." Why all the hatred? Everyone doesn't follow tennis.
Congratulations Naomi Osaka,such alovely and very humble lady,i will start watching tennis again because of you
These liberal biased nuts are trying to create news and Naomi didn’t fall for it. Naomi’s honesty is very evident, because she has been interviewed few times now and her answers didn’t change. No matter how they are presented to her, her answers are the same. Hope she doesn’t become another arrogant brad like the one she just defeated. Do you see? When good character is present, nationally, race, skin color, gender, are all irrelevant. She is a beautiful skillful human being! Hope success doesn’t destroy her!
Exactly,well said E me
I guess this is just the beginning of many more Grand Slam successes of this very talented young lady. I like her attitude, very humble and speaks very gentle...Congratulations!
Still too young for grand slams.
She got caught up on the hype and was Serena's bad hair day.
Even though she doesn't speak Japanese that well, her maneurisms and actions are very Japanese. Humble , shy, unnecessarily apologetic, respectful to her predecessors and crying suddenly. She actually bowed to Serena when apologizing.
fairy princess stop being ignorant
@@ilike9368 you shouldn't say it.
@@whatyouwerethinking998 Its true, cant see her winning Australian open in jan next yr.
See you in Australia Serena, get your crown bk.
Terrible interview. Serena should’ve been brought up for a couple of seconds but not for the entire interview.
Inside and outside the court, she shows a phenomenal sportsmanship. You have a new fan Naomi Osaka. You're my idol!
It’s so so sad that what should be one of the most amazing moments and memories in her entire life has been absolutely tarnished, overshadowed, and ruined by the garbage and drama.
Serena Williams "took a knee" during Naomi Osaka's proud moment.
Dialectical Monist. For women's rights he'll yea
Actually Serena has probably enshrined this victory in tennis history. Does anyone actually care about tennis without the controversy?
It's because Osaka wasn't supposed to win and everybody knows that the win was stolen from Serena.
@@kokoniqueful you fool
Gorgeous and humble. Congratulations on your win
She not gorgeous .. But seems like a nice person.

Your humbleness n your kindness just made me a new fan of yours. Viva Japon!!
The 🇭🇹 Haitian-🇯🇵 Japanese 🎾 tennis 🌟 star Naomi Osaka is going to be the next face of women's 🎾tennis. What's better than for Serena to hand over the torch to another black woman? Osaka has proved she is able to carry it.
Ehh they'd say this about alot of young tennis stars
She got to win some more.
Thank you for recognizing both sides of her family. Unlike many black people who try to erase her Japanese side, or the media who try to erase her Haitian side.
@Arnold 0 doesnt matter. Dessalines' blood flows her veins. That is sufficient.
mike b its not sensitive..the media doesn't like to acknowledge her Haitian side because the nations of this world are still "sensitive" that a black nation killed their oppressors and freed themselves from enslavement and they were the first and also inspired many rebellions throughout the US..and for that they were sanctioned to the point they were broke and currently impoverished, but it will never changed history..the Haitians kicked the French off their land with their heads cut off..THIS is why her Haitian side isn't acknowledged..because of history.
Hate this title. There is nothing "controversial" about the match. It was the most depressing moment to see Osaka crying during that ceremony, feeling like she couldn't take credit for her amazing win, given all that Serena did to make that night about herself. Stop politicizing everything and state the facts. Here sits the superior player, in both skill and attitude. Let her bask in this moment and stop taking away from her victory!! All the best to Osaka.
The girl is good, she won fair and square and Serena wasn't trying to take her moment , she just gets mad when the empires try her.
Well said
@@Amirah833 Serena got what was coming to her fair and square. Also, she's been fined $17,000 for her little temper tantrum. Karma
Sky Firestone superior player? After she wins 23 grand slams well have that discussion. Gtfoh
You got that right.
Useless interviewers who ask the same question regarding the loser of the match over and over again toward the winner
Because it's all about Serena who should've won HATER 😝
Typical arrogant Americans
Agree
Never apologize for playing your heart out and winning cause you might never have that one chance again!
Stop asking questions about Serena's meltdown. Talk about Naomi's accomplishments.
angelthman Serena didn't have a meltdown she is known for rallying back in 2nd set this match was given to this girl. The sad part is that she didn't need any help from the ref
How does Serena known for rallying back have anything to do her having a meltdown? Bad logic. She did have a meltdown. Watch the video.
angelthman the ref got in her head big time
Uhm, you're still not explaining how it's not a meltdown.
Ah...she didn't "come out of nowhere". Apparently these two don't watch much tennis.
Apparently 58 other people disagree with you so move along with your childish attitude.
She did come out of no where tf Serena has been the face of female tennis for about 3-4 years so yea she came out of no where.
@Official Tiggyoh well then thank you for taking the precious time to comment on my post.
@@martiegerecke6642 childish attitude? The person gave you a fair rebuttal without any insults or childish remarks
59% win rate in almost 300 matches? That's only a block or two away from "nowhere" and several miles from well known in the tennis world. Her record says she has a shot at beating you, but maybe not the next time.
Can we all stop talking about Serena ? It's Naomi Osaka who won the tournament fair and square !
barkah ibrahim no, you know we love those Williams
Amen
Hiding Williams behavior won't change it. Her and Kaepernick can kneel together now.
@@zzzzz-k7t 😁 it's her first talk show yet the main theme is about Serena .. yes I think you all do love the Williams a lot
This beautiful ,humble young woman of mixed background is the kind of woman which can restore the hope men in womankind.What a difference between her and Serena Williams and these two white women,women which don't know the meaning of the word humility but know very well the meaning of self entitlement.Naomi Osaka is a really good woman and she should be a poster girl for what real femininity looks like.
