2018 USO Womens Final : ThisMama Serena Williams vs Japanese Queen Naomi Osaka

[abmk]

nice return from serena.

osaka getting down low on that BH. good shot !

15 all.

 

[helixx]

this could get ugly for serena

 

[FedTheMan]

Let's gooooo Naomi!

 

[abmk]

short angle BH from Osaka. 40-15.

 

[NuBas]

Serena is Osaka's idol but she doesn't worship her. She wants to crush her.

 

[Krish872007]

Osaka on fire early.

 

[Zetty]

Naomi playin' like a boss

 

[skyline]

The problem is that she can’t afford this. She needed to be dialed in from the getgo. Osaka isn’t Pliskova and she certainly isn’t Sevastova.

 

[abmk]

ace to close out the game. Excellent consolidation of break !

 

[FakeEmpire]

Aga/Angie squat shot is leaving a mark, even with power hitters like Osaka.

 

[tennisaddict]

Osaka gotta end this love fest

Watch out for ESPN to say :
Olympia is teething . Mom and baby couldn't sleep

Serena couldn't bear to watch her baby in pain

 

[Deleted member 756486]

Hopefully Osaka can keep this up.

I hit a few myself this morning!

 

[I Am Finnish]

Serena serve is off

 

[tennisaddict]

Get this point and let us wrap set 1

 

[skyline]

Naomi smells blood. Credit to her, it’s how she needs to be.

She’s going to close out this set and if Serena goes down a break in the 2nd too, she’s done.

 

[sportmac]

I'm rooting for Osaka to break and now I'm rooting for Serena to break back. And I'm almost out of really unhealthy snacks.
I need to take a pill.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Double break

 

[Incognito]

Damn! Down double break

 

[underground]

That should be the first set. Naomi isn’t a choker.

 

[SuperSpinner]

Wooohoooo double break

 

[helixx]

beat down

 

[NuBas]

MAKE HISTORY NAOMI. JAPAN FIRST GRAND SLAM MALE OR FEMALE!!

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Very crappy play from Serena Williams early.

 

[abmk]

Osaka breaks again ! yes !

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Serena about to be BTFO

 

[Josh Lyman]

Watching the match so far, Naomi looks like the younger, faster, newer version of Serena.

 

[brinkeguthrie]

"Chris, somewhere in a palatial NYC penthouse, little Olympia wants her mommy. Serena knows this, but it's astonishing to see her level of composure out there, knowing her child is crying out in anguish."

 

[tennisaddict]

I would love a 1 and 2 humiliation if possible. Am I being too greedy ?

 

[Deleted member 756486]

That should be the first set. Naomi isn’t a choker.

Hope not. That’s the problem with most of these WTA players.

Credit to Serena, she’s clearly leagues above everyone else mentally.

 

[Krish872007]

Osaka is destroying Serena in the baseline rallies. As a result Serena is feeling a bit flustered and starting to lose control on her serve.

 

[NoleFam]

Good gracious. Serena is a mess. Osaka might win this since she can't control her nerves. Terrible performance so far.

 

[elkwood]

Wow Serena slow off the mark

 

[duaneeo]

Whether the ATP or WTA, it's great seeing a 20-year-old bringing it in a slam final.

 

[plum556]

Wow. Really didn't see this coming.

 

[Deleted member 756486]

Yesssss!

Serena looks terrible. Osaka better keep slaying.

 

[NuBas]

Guys Japan needs an uplift after their earthquakes more than SW needs another trophy.

Save Tennis, Save Japan. Save the world.

 

[Incognito]

MAKE HISTORY NAOMI. JAPAN FIRST GRAND SLAM MALE OR FEMALE!!

She’s half Haitian as well

 

[Red Rick]

Hopefully Osaka can keep this up.

Either that, or I can't keep it the food down due to the mama commercials

 

[Steve0904]

What a shot! That was unreal.

 

[NuBas]

She’s half Haitian as well

I know but she plays under JPN soooo the win would be under Japan. Haiti wins too.

 

[Incognito]

Damn Osaka is so fast. Like a young Serena Williams

 

[Djokovic2011]

Great passing shot from Osaka.

 

[FakeEmpire]

Well, well... I wasn't expecting to see this, even though I believed Osaka was capable of pulling off the win. Serena's serve is off, while Osaka is moving better and being more consistent.

 

[Tanya]

Ms Thing is out today... Where's your serve girl

 

[helixx]

goat pass

 

[Red Rick]

Guys Japan needs an uplift after their earthquakes more than SW needs another trophy.

Save Tennis, Save Japan. Save the world.

SAVE THE CHEERLEADER SAVE THE WORLD

What?

 

[FedTheMan]

Keep it up Osaka. Love how her last name is also a major city in Japan.

 

[Deleted member 756486]

She’s half Haitian as well

Born in Japan though.

 

[sportmac]

Too early to call. The most dangerous Serena is the one that's losing.
