I really miss this version of Slo. 😢
This match is the product of the Williams sisters brought to the game. Keep your eye on one player in some of those long points. The acceleration on Osaka's backhand and Sloane's forehand is insane. The athleticism is there with there movements as well. The whole field this year are all very fit and fast
Joe Owen yep. These two are the future of the WTA
TaiAkinz
Yes, I'm going to have to agree with you here!
The athleticism and power these two bring to the game is less than the Williams sisters. But yeah the match was good. A bit too many double faults though.
I agree..it's just their inconsistency..you know what i mean
Perfect! The offspring of Williams Sisters!
i forget how insanely fast sloane is
She is sneaky fast
I want to see those aces tho'! 😍
Well her father played in the NFL so she's got the genetics for speed.
Shanon its the mum that was the athlete though.
@@PHlophe yes her mum was a Division 1 swimmer in university I should have mentioned that as well. Cheers.
Sloane really exposed Oska's weaknesses in her game during this match. I also think Naomi got a little impatient in the longer rallies which you cannot do against Sloane when she is playing well.
Agreed. This will develop into a very compelling rivalry over the next five or six years. Good win for Sloane.
she exposed her terrible net game : no swinging volleys to close off points at the net and sloane is a speed demon. some of those points weren't even naomi's fault per se. most ppl on tour wouldn't have been able to get to half these shots
@17sunnyhour - not really. naomi played classic first strike tennis against williams. the rallies were on average 3-4 shots. that's not patience: that was beating williams at her own game. completely different situation here.
Sloane full of steroids
Osaka's weakness is her double handed backhand. She places it to far away from the line which makes it very easy to return and gain control of the game. She also is shaky on her volleys. Her forehand is excellent though. That backhand is very cringe though. She could have won the match if she placed her backhands closer to the line not near the center of the court for an easy return.
I have come to realize that we shouldn’t compare any player to Serena. I am one of those people who are already calling Naomi the next Serena. There’s only one Serena period.
Samuel Williams Boom 💥 Drop 🎤
Serena the one and only
Who even want to compare with Serena, Naomi is a better human being than Serena period and she will do great in tennis. Don't forget, Serena won her first grandslam at the age of 19, and she only won her second grandslam 3 years later. After that Serena won a grandslam almost every year. Naomi was 21 before winning her first grandslam, so she still got 3 years to find her drive and gain some experience, before she unleashes her power, so she is still in the game!
no she was 17 not 19 and she won the year end in 1999 two years later in 2002 she won three grandslams
Cant be a bitch if you don't know the facts. Go research some more before you try to dis the GOAT.
Sloane .. you are a tennis royalty ❤
Sloane is crazy fast, and her forehand can really be deadly. What's crazy is I think she can be a lot more agressive, and energy proficient. For instance, that point she won with slice forehand drop shot on the run, she could have hit a few agressive forehands so she wouldn't even be in that position to have to make lower percentage shot. If she can find a balance of aggression, and defense when needed, she'll be so much better. She has enough margin on the forehand and backhand.
Nigel Johnson
Yes, her practice w/ speed and on her serve is going to behoove her for easier points as well! Good job tho'‼😍
Nigel Johnson -I agree 100%
I think both of these girls are phenomenal that being said Serena is number one the greatest of all time😘😘😘😘😘👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
@none Just because she has the most GS titles in the history of ladies' singles (only ONE more than Serena), doesn't mean she's the best. Steffi Graf is and there's facts about it. LOTS of facts!
Yesssssss! Serena be SUPA Great ABOriginal AmaRican INDYHn NAGA !!! TennisPlayer
@Netty yep"
Wrong! You racist troll. Get off of youtube with that!
Kimbo Phillips 2
I appreciate Sloane. She is so well spoken, intelligent, respectful..no games...just play. A Great ambassador for the game..
So much potential, but she has given up.
so basically, you realized a black person is a human being.
@@TG-se5sk what exactly do you mean by that comment? Because if I didn't know any better I'd say it sounds like someone is trying to bring race into something for the sake of creating pointless drama. Grow up and stop trying to find controversy where there is none.
This is awesome. 3 black women at the top of Tennis (traditionally lnown as a white sport). I love it!!🤩🤩🤩
landaps - girl, dem folks not trying to hear that!!! They'll want to boycott womens tennis! 😳😳😳😳😳
Super cool .. we really Can’t lose
that's a racist comment
@@mggm9680 Lol shut up the bloodclaat
@@ozandroanisejofel5868 Lol
Sloane loves the big matches on big stages she loves to be the underdog, she rises up when she's not the favorite just like at the french open and all the challenge this imposes. I think she can go all the way on this tournament.
I really like this rivalry. Great defense by Sloane, they both got a lotta heart
naomi’s approach shots are sublime, i don’t get why she doesn’t set those shots up more. congrats to sloane on playing an amazing match!
The Osaka camp was very nervous about this matchup
because you never know which Stephen’s will show up
The right Sloane showed up!
The unbeatable sloane
Actually Sloane is a lot better than what she showed on the court today, neither of them played well today. She just happened to be a bit better than Osaka, particularly in set 3
Sloane can win this whole tournament. Go Sloane!!
@@Archihuman sloane is just getting started ofc she didnt play her best but she remained focus till the end and it made the difference today
Good job Sloane! I think she can win it all on this court. Slow enough to defend and with her forehand she can dictate and any court. Just needs to work on her backhand
Bobby C yea she did a great job and her back hand is very consistent and has some nice topspin but if she needs to flatten it out she can with that backhand up the line haha
@@DBanks-cn8ho that's the exact shot that I was talking about. I'm glad you noticed. She needs to rip it up the line a few times. She had a lot of opportunities but went safe. But that tends to work out for her
and double faults
A55tech
Truly have to get those down....she's growing on me!😄
She's making me grow, at least some parts.
It one thing to put all your heart and soul to win a match against Serena Williams. But with that being said, holding it down and staying on top and being a champion is harder than she realized. You have a long way to go lil girl..
It was a good match....why does there have to be another Serena? I'm pretty sure these young ladies are good enough to carry the torch as themselves. Serena is Serena....Osaka and Stephen's will rival each other for years to come, and we will enjoy these two young athletes dominating the sport giving us fans chills and thrills. Let us all stay tuned for the future.
Erin Morales fans will always look for the next Jordan... Or ali... Or serena williams....
No female player comes close to Serena. All these girls do not have legendary status. They keep sharing the trophies. No one of these new girls stand out as a leader or as a dominant figure in Tennis.
You just have to appreciate Serena, like her or not.
it will be too difficult to match serena, there is way too many matches in one grand slam alone to be able to get to the final. and then you have to be lucky to have not have skilled nemesis. serena worked haaaard and was copiously insulted along the way.
Ben . This is the future. Enjoy it!
ABSOLUTELY !!
oh please....Rome was not built in one day. Give them a break.
@@littleblacklawyergermanbla2008 You do realize that the GOAT means "GREATEST OF ALLLL TIME".................right?
Go Sloane! You had me nervous in the second set,you pulled it off!!!
It was such a high quality battle between these two US Open champion. I was there on the stadium & surely will be back cheering for Slo once again more tonight. Come on Slo! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Where all the BANDWAGON Osaki fans, oh the Serena haters. These girls got a long way to go to walk the Serena Williams RED CARPET OF CHAMPION. U gotta respect the GOAT journey to GREATNESS. A whole lot of blood, sweat, and tears. There will never be another one like Serena and she ain't finish, 36 years young. 👊😎
Cassie, winning one grand slam is hella difficult but getting all the way to 23, is a loooooong road , there are way too many matches to win in a single grand slam to begin with and when you have to get through 4 per year. Serena is a miracle. and so is Venus for winning 7 of her own .
@@PHlophe I concur, this message was ppl who take Serena and Venus accomplishments for granted and want to make these up and coming players instant stars.
People wouldn't have "hated" Serena if she didn't have a nuclear fit.
Unlike Serena Naomi knows how to lose like a good sport.
@@ibnBobby80 give it time her frustrations will appear in some form as the pressure to win mounts. The more she wins she will face racism just like Serena. You see Naomi hasn't faced half of what Serena has but she will and rightfully so she's just embarking on winning big tournaments . The outside and unfair pressure will come. There's no reason to HATE anyone because all your doing is HATING yourself. It's a poisonous emotion that rots within you. Naomi is playing in a highly competitive sport on the professional circuit and you have ppl rooting against you, making derogatory comments and pressure to stand up for yourself, yes you can get sideways emotionally. Be careful when you become judgemental, you haven't walked in Serena's shoes. I wish Naomi nothing but the best but she idolize Serena and is very aware of her path and what she has endured throughout her career. That's why she and her family are wary and keeping their distance as best they can from evildoers.
Congrats Sloanes you deserved that victory.
Its so refreshing to see these two sista's at the top of their game after Venus and Serena has held it down for so many years. These two are the future possible next greats if they stay on top of their game as the Williams Sisters has done so many years. Good stuff from both U.S. Champs! I love it!
Congratulations to Sloane Stephens. Well played.
The progenies of Serena and Venus... don't forget Naomi's father followed Richard Williams' lead. And, Naomi has always idolized Serena. Serena haters.
O.......AND...also...Osaka does have Serena Ex-team member coaching her....hmmmm
The only Serena Haters are people who are racist
@@crangfang4783 only weak minded people use usch logic
I love it! Black women are domimating the sport, even beyond the Williams sisters.
Osaka is half Japanese, just because her skin tone is dark does not take that away.
@@deusexmachina9776 us as black people we don't claim players I'm football/soccer and tennis fan and I can tell you that only. Those Japanese claim her as a fully Japan we are quiet because we denominate every sport, us and white people so Asians don't have test when it's comes to sports
@@deusexmachina9776 im happy he chose Japan but there's only onething Japanese won't stop being racist they are claiming her because she's successful in her career did you see how they treated miss Japan in 2015 because she was half black and half Japanese,now Naomi Osaka is half too their claiming her sometimes Lord has miracle to shut people's mouths why their I'nt racist anymore because she's successful 🤔
@@lutomaya6746 There is literally a black man ignoring her Japanese DNA, so please do not tell me blacks do not claim players. Stop lying, black people do not dominate every sport. Japan was supporting Osaka before she was ever famous so please do not come here with the 'they love her because she is successful' claims. She was well known before Americans were falling over her. Japanese people can claim Osaka because they paid for her career. She was not good enough in her younger years to be sponsored by America and Haiti is poor. Choosing Japan is the reason she is the highest paid player, behind Serena.
@@deusexmachina9776 shut up
This the kind of highlights I expect.
And this the kind of matches I want 🔥
Wow! Great stuff!! 💪🏾 They both move so well!! Thanks for this upload. Hate I missed it, but this was fun to watch!!
Stephens had to remind her "EVERYONE IS GASSING YOU UP OSAKA" but sis, this is NOT the time!
When Sloane plays well she is hard to beat. I like her game. I good mix of offense/defense
Gooo SLOANE! All the way to the Championship point 💪💪👍👍😘💕💕
I am glad that Sloan won. I really think that game was taken from Serena. Osaka may be good, but a lot of her weaknesses showed in her match. Serena will always be one of the greatest tennis players of all times. I will always admire her, but I cannot wait to see what Osaka and Sloan has give to the sport in the future. I admire all of them because of them because they are some awesome women.
Go Sloane! Sloane has incredible speed and offensive power.
I'm from the Naomi camp. Feels bad to see her lose.
At the same time, the better one wins.🏆 Naomi will learn.
she better learn fast. at her age serena had already bagged a few grand slams.
Sloane shows up for the big matches. She'll go all the way here because she doesn't face anyone unseeded players 😂
Exactly what I'm thinking lol
You win when you want to play Sloane!😘
Naomi your still a champion
ATL 1 oh wow 😩
@ATL 1 One month ago.... REALLY 😒😒 😒😒 😒???
Sloane was far more composed.
Raymond Hall Exactly! Naomi Osaka looked really down whenever she's behind. It's very obvious from her facial expression and body language.
Sloane is a more experienced player, she is 25, while Naomi is practically still a kid with her 21 years.
Alquimista Boi Agree
@@cyc20976 21 is an adult sir not a kid
These guys see Serena on the other end and they play the match of their lives and against others, they play a fair game. You can't out-hit Sloane from the court, she runs, moves well and returns well.
true but i wish she could be hitting some ace instead of double fault.
Serena is the best, it's normal to consciously or subconsciously do better against the best. Osaka was playing her FIRST USO final, of course she's gonna play her heart out. As for fair game, you referring to fair quality or the fact that upping your game and playing better against Serena is "unfair"?
Also, Sloane has great groundstrokes but movement isn't her strongest point, Sevastova caught her out badly with it.
Ive come to realize half the hate Serena gets is due to how insufferable her fans are, anything said against her can never be taken objectively, its always considered racist or bias. They paint all her detractors and naysayers the same.
waat? Sloane moves like a gazelle - effortlessly and easily. Doesn't even look like she is moving and then suddenly she is there.
I am so proud to see two Young women of color playing phenomenal tennis tennis.🙌🙌😘😘🙌
Stephens clearly has the softer hands. Her net play was top notch. And she even pulled off some Aga shots.
Both these women are awesome!
I loved the match and no matter what Naomi, is going far. Congratulations Sloane
Good to see sporting acknowledgment of good shots and growing respect between players.
Noobs will say this is an upset, but it's not at all. The problem is they have established a lot of hype around Osaka's figure. The WTA desperately needs a new Serena, but you don't just build a 23 GS champion in a few months from scratch. Let's see if this girl can handle the pressure in the next months, but I personally think that this new project will end up in smoke, as usual...
What do you think about Sabalenka then? I'm pretty sure she is gonna be n1 , it's just a matter of time imo.
Me too Kruger. She is a future GS champion, no doubt.
Naomi is tanking, you are thinking, hoping. Just wait for it.Thats the pace for Osaka to go, as usual.
Naomi is ranked number 4. It's not just hype.
If you look back at her result you will find she made 1 final and 1 semi outside the USO and Indian Wells, she lost a lot of time before QF. Mentally we got a pretty clear picture where she is at.
Stephens is so underrated player, pleasure to watch her game
Those two will dominate the slams and big tourneys in 2019. I see lots of finals and trophys in their hands in 2019
11/30/2018
The bad call in the third set, and Naomi's non challenge, affected her mental game the rest of the match. Don't get me wrong, I luv me some Osaka, but If she couldn't handle it, she deserved to lose.
i like both of these women and i love venus and serena. hate looking at matches,because i don't know which one to go for
Nice match. I like Osaka. Seems composed and has a good all round game. And its fun to see Sloane come out and play like this.
We Loved this Match !! What amazing skill !
Cool Calm nd Confident Sloane you got Game Shots. Winner
Sloane is a great tennis player. She has the talent and ability to beat anyone. Sometimes I think she gets disinterested maybe because she doesn't need the money or doesn't really enjoy the training. She should have won most of the matches that she lost, so it's really frustrating watching her not knowing which Sloane is going to show up.
I hope to see more of these two ladies competing against each other. This could be a nice rivalry.
I was anticipating this match so hard
great game! go Sloane!!!
Great game! Both ladies did well! Go Sloane!
The new rivalry in women's tennis. Their games are evenly matched. Sloane is the first player I've seen who was not blown off the court by Osaka since the U.S. Open. Also, smart variations of pace and spins to throw off Naomi's game. You cannot go toe-to-toe with Osaka's power game, gotta employ other tactics. Biggest shock of the match was no Sharapova-Serena like screaming in every point.
@shilin1 U clearly DON'T follow tennis much as you would have known Osaka lost to Pliskova a few weeks ago in a final! She is getting there but it's a long way to 23 and MOST of the top 100 aren't fit to tie Serena's shoe laces! 😎
Win it all Sloane!!
Serena is not around. Make us proud
I also thought Sloane should have made it further in US open. She should have beaten the crafty Sevastova, but was mentally taxed (the pressure of defending her title got to her, in every round). And I think on form, Sloane would have frustrated Serena, made her play that extra ball and extract an error. Oh well. There always next year. I want to see Sloane hoist the Roland Garros Cup too!
Both players - great players; movers, power (more to Naomi), Sloane Stephens - Court Craft and that makes the largest difference.
Congrats Ms. Sloane Stephens!!! Wholeheartedly Deserved Win. I Love Yâ'Bóth,though...
The beautiful and gorgeous crush of mine Stephen Sloane 😍😍all down with you 😘😘
For a moment there,I thought Osaka was invisible and unstoppable , playing the perfect game.
Serena should thank Sloane who has clinically dissected Osaka successfully and laid bare her weaknesses for all and sundry.
From now on,it's a different ball game.
The only problem with that is that Sloane is a much better defender at this point than Serena.
demartorris
Yeah,I agree
Wow Stephens you really shocked me, I didn’t think you can beat Osaka! You played awesome! You sure earned it!
I revisit this video from time to time. Stephens show that when she want to, she can win. And, she is possibly one of the better movers on court.
the futur is now. these 2 are so talented.
Great game by Sloane. She defended really well. Still rooting for Osaka but I still like Sloane a lot too. Osaka needs to stay composed and stop doing too much. Naomi not challenging was the deal breaker. That could've changed the game.
I feel exactly the same way. Love both ladies
Osaka should have get the on court coaching in 3rd set. It will be interesting to see how she respond to the coaching advice.
I agree with your comments. I couldn't believe she didn't challenge. That's what challenge system is for... human error, might as well make use of it. I'm also surprised Naomi Osaka didn't bring her coach down to help her regain her composure in the third set. I was glad to see her in good spirits after the match in post game interview.
I like both, but I don't think the challenge would've done much. I feel Slone was on her game this match and playing extremely well.
I hope that this will become a great rivalry over the next few years
My two favorite players.
Whenever Sloane feels a bit low, she should watch this match. I mean she is moving so well and at the same time just ripping the bal off!!Amazing.
Good job Ladies. Well deserved win SLOANE!
I think Sloane played very patiently and took what Osaka gave her. I think that her conditioning also played a big part in her win also as Osaka seemed to wither a bit in the third set. Going forward, Sloane is going to have to take more chances and needs to add more pace to her first serve to beat the top players. There are some real tigresses at the top
Looking forward to seeing this in the grand slam finals! #future oftennis!
sloane and Naomi will dominate the slams over the next ten years. They will win lots of grand slam trophys

Great content
and yes CONGRATULATIONS to Sloane !! keep kicking az (smooches)
that over rule was a turningpoint in the match
Unbelievably biased videography / editing. ….. absolutely no video shots of the "Stephens camp celebration" after one of Sloane's winners as opposed to the 7 celebratory video shots of the Osaka camp + supporters.
That is singa-poor for ya …..
Osaka played on a home court advantage, in Japan. If Sloane were here, the audience would be bigger in America and celebrated more.
Naomi just didn’t have her A game today. Since winning the US Open so many people expect her to win every match.
I hope Osaka hasn’t tweaked her back again.
I don't know. I think Naomi actually did ok. Sloane just managed to get a lot of balls back that on other courts would've been unreturnable. Sloane kept making Naomi hit one more ball, and Naomi kept getting frustrated and over-hit. Tough match for both women... I'm excited to see how the rest of the tournament plays out.
@@ricobhi I agree, on other courts nobody can return those. Good job on Sloane's end for adjusting. I hope Naomi adjust soon.
I wish Naomi can approach the net more often, especially after one big hitting, she should have charged forward instead of staying 3 feet behind baseline... but then Sloane is a tricky player herself, great reaction with great hands....
Black girls magic
everything is about color holy fuck just enjoy the match
Yes!!! Very good match!!
I used to think tennis was boring sport but I got intersted in it after watching serena play .
All the excellent melanin ,go girls ,there are no losers here .Love you guys!!!
Two lovely girls. Watching these two could make tennis as a spectacle interesting.
Those two are are going to be great
Mark 11:23, you shall have whatsoever you say
this 2 are the future
This would be a great rivalry if they would both stay consistent. Similar styles, Sloane just got better wheels and more experience.
On another note, as a naturally curly girl, I SO want to cut Osaka's stringy damaged ends for her 😭
rachray83
Similar style?
I’ve been trying for some time to figure out a nice way to say that about her ends. Hadn’t come up with anything, so I just kept my mouth shut. However, I fully agree!!
rachray83
There’s nothing similar about their games. Stephens is more of a defensive counter puncher who will keep the rally until her opponent makes a mistake or she will use her opponent’s pace to hit like sharp angles. She’ll also hit a booming forehand every once in awhile.
Osaka is mostly an aggressive baseliner who likes to outhit and overpower her opponents with her big backhand/forehand and serve. They are the polar opposite when it comes to style.
The only similarities between them is they are both have some African blood. Ain’t much other than that.
Good job sisters your both are beautiful queen
Battle of the Dime’s 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I like both of these young women.but i was glad sloane won.good game though. I bet there will be more match ups.
Watched this live, what is not apparent in this highlight was the huge number of first serve errors by Osaka. Tough to beat Sloan with a second serve.
Congratulations Sloane!
Not a fan of either play but it was a great match.
Sloane was last years US Open Champ... This year she pulls a No Show.. Stay Hungry if you want to be considered one of the best in the world..
Great job Sloane! Great genes
Coming to say I hope Sloane watches this and gets this fire back! She would be be quite the shake up
Tennis players have to adjust to different courts. Idk why people are saying the courts need to be changed. Clearly, people are winning on them with great shots. If it’s a slow court, then it’s a slow court.
Neeraj Pillai since USOPEN OSAKA did'nt win any tournement,she's just a shadow for herself,why?she's like Osparenco or someone won a GrandSlam and no more....
Ban Hoang It’s only been the like 2 months. Osaka did win a tournament earlier this year. I expect to see good tennis in her future.
i like naomi osaka
Well done Sloane! I whish you or Kiki to go all the way!
Niomi is a young and upcoming star, Sasha should not push her beyond expectations, she will get there. Being a true champion takes time and Sasha of all persons should know that because he was Serena's hitting partner.
