Her crosscourt forehand is insane
Her ground strokes are way more effortless then Sabalenka's
@@jeffreykaufmann2867no offense I always found Osaka power easy like kvitova or Venus. But sabalenka power always looked more tough on eyes
@@jeffreykaufmann2867yes they *LOOK* more effortless than Aryna's.
@@AdyHh-up9ez tough ?
@@AdyHh-up9ez As a Petra Kvitova fan, she is the first person I can think of when it comes to that sort of crosscourt pace. The ball looks like a blur on the television screen. You blink, and it's already on towards the end of the other baseline.
Osaka actually stayed with svitolina returning countless balls in second set and stood her ground in rallies with keeping balls in. Most powerful players would've lost it. Her movement is coming back
I love how Osaka congratulates the opponent's beautiful winners. So kind!
She does that only when she s leading the match.
@anagabrielasusanu9483 that statement is true for most tennis players
@@andrewlaidley4707 true, but the comment sounded like only Naomi is doing it.
I find it quite annoying cause she does it so often it may seem a bit like she's mocking the opponent, like they needed praises every time they do something correctly. It's how you treat little kids is what Im saying.
@@mysteriousdoge1298 I disagree. If you look at the shots she applauds, they are the very best -- she is a true competitor showing respect for her opponent's best. And I think she doesn't only do it when she's winning (though others may correct me on that). It's one of my favorite aspects of the game.
Naomi is getting back into full form and is playing the way she did when she won the US Open 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Not fully there yet but her movements are slowly coming back which is terrific.
I See the same
Osaka's coming back
Everything WOKE turns to SHID. Take Osucka for example.
Yeah, Its about tennis and small boys and girls like you start inserting ujinga!. The Moms are back and there aint nothing you can do about it except Ujinga on your keyboard. Say it loud little one, Naomi, Elina,... may all the Mom multimillionaires stand up. Little hecklers stay in your holes, please. Kumbafff!! Are wa nan desu ka!!!!
人種差別良くないよ
We definitley need Osaka to be at least top5 again and a real contender for grand slam titles again, and I think this match showed she would be in that position pretty soon.
This is very possible
She has to play on clay and grass first
@@TremblingQualifier i agree, these aren't her better surfaces, but since almost 7 months of the year they play on hard surfaces(outdoor and indoor), I'm sure she will manage to come back to top5 if not by the end of this year, then definitley in next 12 month.
Remember that she is the most dangerous when she is relaxed, which she was at least when she was winning her first two slams because she didn't feel any presure. And it seems to me that now again she doesn't have any pressure anymore, which will make her a grand slam contender already this year at the US Open
Naomi's play has improved dramatically in the two months since her return.
When she first came back, she had many problems such as not being able to follow the ball, not being able to read the course of the opponent's ball, and being unable to move, but those problems no longer exist.
In particular, her defensive range and counter shots when she is moved to the backside are comparable to those in her heyday, and her forehand rallies are among the top-class among female players, yet she makes few mistakes.
Her playing style is very simple and is called power tennis, but what makes it interesting to watch is that unlike Ostapenko's ace-or-miss style, her shots are constructed and of great quality.
I feel that the popularity of the WTA is declining because Iga is too strong, but if a rivalry between a superstar like Naomi and the strongest queen Iga is created, the popularity of women's tennis will rise again.
In fact, her matches attract a large number of spectators and attract a lot of attention.
Indeed, the improvement in Osaka's play in the last couple of months has been remarkable. I remember watching her lose to Collins in Abu Dhabi in early February and I could scarcely believe how weak her movement looked. In fact the only thing that was firing as it used to was the serve in the first set. Everything else was off. The turnaround has been impressive to say the least. She looks more and more like the Naomi of old with each tournament.
Naomi was playing devastating tennis here, I’m so glad she closed it out in the second set, she still has a lot to improve in terms of closing matches out but she’s finally finding her rhythm and hopefully we can see her go against Coco
Osaka vs CoCo mentioned yesterday
It was just nerves 😅😮😮she will get over it with time
@@ElleBrOw Yes you did..Come on Osaka , you can do this
she still needs a few more matches before reaching the level of the top 5 girls to beat them. COCO, Rybakyna; IGA, Sabalinka is still strong.
I hope I'm wrong, but
Naomi is missing one or two tournaments in a row to take the title from them.
@@fivecinco5923let’s see. I‘m truly happy where she’s already. I actually think she is still ahead of the schedule in terms of her comeback. If she’ll peak at the us open and be a favorite for the title, it would be truly amazing!!
Naomi is a class act, such a good sport. You don’t see enough players applauding their opponent’s good shot. Giorgio won’t even raise her hand in apology when her opponent gets a bad bounce at the net. Great champions see to display great sportsmanship.
If Naomi comes back to anywhere near her pomp, she will definitely be right up there with Iga and Saba. She's 4-0 in GS finals beating the likes of Serena, Vika, and Petra. Iga is also 4-0 in GS finals but hasn't nearly had that type of opposition in a GS final.
See even as Osaka fan I see iga ending with more slams. But Naomi still can end career with 7 or 8 slams if she keeps working up. It is legendary career but I am also realistic. She said she wants 12. But u never know as players career goes well into ,30s these days
@@AdyHh-up9ezYeah, I'm a Naomi fan too but Iga definitely has the better play overall coz of her clay dominance. Naomi getting more slams would be great but in the end, Iga will get more. And that's fine.
Kenin beat Vika, Petra and Serena...I think Iga defeating her in the French was excellent win. Sofia was in form and beat Petra on the way to the final.
@@sadie513Desgraciadamente lo más fuerte empieza en esta parte de la temporada . Va a tener que emplearse muy afondo si quiere estar a la altura de Iga , Aryna y Coco . Jugadoras tan técnicas y poderosas físicamente como ellas es un muro actualmente casi imposible de superar .
Naomi's target which she herself said to come to top level by us open and she is slowly moving better. Striking better. She will be danger for anyone. I see her winning slams again by next year. She is star with massive appeal to public.
Great job Naomi. Sooo good to have you back
That Miami sunset at 4:08 is like a poetic painting in the background.
actually. It reminded me of Claude Monet's paintings and the movie "Vanilla Sky"
@@MalekAhmed-kz3zu ahhh....so claude monet indeed
- Osaka just keeps getting and better in 2024.
- She plays well on outdoor hard courts.
- The further she advances in a tournament the faster she’ll move towards the Top 10.
- She was ranked No. 229 at the beginning of this week and after today’s win she’s at No. 191.
- Great matchup next: Osaka v Garcia.
Im so happy and excited to see her play like this. It’s obviously not her top form, but she is getting there with each match.
I look forward to when she hits that next level of play. It’s going to be tough for the girls when she is back to her best.
@@NickButler83 By the time the North American outdoor hard court tournaments come around in early August 2024 she’ll be tough to beat.
@@RamZar50 absolutely! It’s going to make for some incredible matches.
When Osaka is dialled in, she can def be the best player on hard court. She has the weapons: forehand, backhand and serve.
Damn.. that was sensational tennis from Naomi.. she’s back BACK!
Naomi is slowly crawling up and getting back her rhythm.
Osaka's Tennis is so enjoyable to watch. Honestly, I didn't think I missed her much but I also haven't been the WTA as closely until now since I've been watching the highlights of her matches. Her ball striking is looking so clean and even her movement and level of comfort in rallies is insane. Svitolina isn't a pushover and it wasn't as if she wasn't playing well, but Osaka just beat her without much trouble. I'm excited to see her through the year.
Andy Murray had a cool tweet a while back that was like, “Anyone hit the ball cleaner from the baseline than Naomi Osaka?” and he’s so right. I missed her on the tour, but hadn’t realised how much I just missed the sound the ball her makes off her racket til she came back. Truly nothing like it
Congrats, Naomi! 💖The commentators are acting surprised to see Naomi beat Svitolina. Naomi is a former world number 1 and four time GS champion. Svitolina is not on Naomi's level.
Aside from the nerves, her tennis in this match was STAGGERING. The shot making was insane. She just needs to get more match practice to gain some mental toughness because that’s just what’s lacking.
I can’t wait until Naomi gets back in top form. It will be interesting to see how she competes against Iga, Sabalenka, Rybakina and Coco.
So exciting to watch Osaka shine! The power is amazing!
Naomi Osaka can still win Grand Slams if she can keep this quality up. Elina needs to raise her level if she wants to win Grand Slams.
I’ve watched every match since her return and today I can finally and officially confirm SHES BACK 🔥
Give her time
Naomi was shooting rockets and her rally tolerance and movement were 👌
IMO the world will look back at this match as THE turning point in her comeback. Naomi was so much more consistent in this match, clutch during pressure points, and she is showing continued improvement on her serve. She is beginning to convince me that she can make it back into top 10 or higher prior to the US Open. Biggest concern will be whether she can produce decent results in clay/grass seasons.
On grass two of her losses came to kerber and Venus. Legends on grass. Only one bad loss. She has weapons for it. She has added lots of spin on her shots which will help on clay. She looks serious this time
The turning point, if it comes (and I hope it does), will come in a final. Not in a round of 64. Svitolina is good, but not even close to elite.
Osaka is doing amazing!! Took her a bit to get back into it, but her growth is going to put her back in top 10!
Osaka ✅
Love Naomi for being so human and then returning to the game hitting the ball so cleanly . Great job!!!
Osaka on fast court here will be super dangerous for anyone. Her movement is coming back and they said she has hired ballet dancer to work on it! Her serve and forehand here is scary. Not those boring super slow courts where u just have to make spin based rallies whole day
That comment seems like shade about indian wells court
@@notis6107not just Indian wells. I just want medium pace courts so every playstyle gets equal chance and parity. That's why aus open and Wimbledon r won mostly by big hitters flat hitters.
@@AdyHh-up9ez most courts are medioum pace. The fastest courts are wimbledon and australian open. I prefer medium pace courts bc the rallies are more impressive
@@notis6107same. But starting year tournaments like doha Indian wells r super slow
@@AdyHh-up9ez doha isnt so slow but yes indian wells is for sure, it was like watching clay. Anyway im an iga and naomi fan but sadly i dont see osaka be a contender for big titles soon. If she works out a lot and lose some weight, maybe she can win another slam
Those low life haters say she’ll be out 2nd round. Well hello there
Ya lol. Them low life haters want her to fail but she's not about to give up. There's a reason she has 4 GS😮
Where is that Navratilova whi was comparing Naomi to svitolina? Not even considering that at that time Naomi had a 6 month old baby
Osaka looks and is playing Amazing😊
So happy for Osaka
I personally don’t like Osaka, but fact is fact- girl attracts the crowd! Finally not empty arena like on other matches
Peace! Yes Naomi has a magnetic quality; a real sincerity and she is 😊so sweet …
Hâte de voir le marché entre Osaka et Garcia!
You and I both
This was a huge step for Naomi's comeback two Mom's playing tennis again , many yrs of rivalry and here they are still looking good and ready to rock . 👏👏👏 Love you Naomi .
The speed,agility and placement is there she just needs a few more good matches where she has to slug it out and she will be back top 5 no time.
So happy to see Naomi back at a high level!!
I think iga might have some competition soon
omg let's go Naomi ❤
Osaka finally found some aggression! About time! 💯
wdym 😂
What an impressive win for Naomi. Congratulations!👏👏
Great Match !! Naomi !!Keep GOING
Osaka a vuelto ❤
Naomi's looking good, moving well, hitting strong and precise, and getting better and better.
She just bullied svitolina on the baseline
Svitolina too busy burning coals to practice more tennis. Not Naomi's fault or problem. Sorry.
What a horrible comment! Why do you need to be so hateful!!
@@nadedjadannevik6272Svitolina est quotidiennement sous la pression de la situation en Ukraine et mène également des actions caritatives, notamment en faveur des enfants joueurs de tennis ukrainiens qui ont fui sous les bombardements. Vous ne pouvez pas comprendre cela, vivant dans une Amérique bien nourrie et indifférente, qui est devenue la garante de la sécurité de l'Ukraine, a retiré les armes nucléaires, les a données à la Russie et s'assoit maintenant et rit dans une Europe et une Amérique bien nourries, comme la dernière idiots.
La princesse Osaka a le sourire jusqu'aux oreilles, alors pendant ce temps là le monde devient beau...
Way to go Osaka. Keep on keeping on.
Well done Naomi! 👏❤️
My girl is slowly making her way back! 😎
Peace! That’s my gurl yo..😂
great match and also what a beautiful dusk tie-break in Miami
My Naomi Osaka yes.... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow ..... Naomi is getting there !
Why a powerful game from both!!! Elina is obviously a machine as much as Osaka is!
Awesome win for Osaka, really happy for her 🎉❤🎉❤
Osaka just levelled her score of lost previious tournament match to Svitilona.. Great control and comeback 👍
If Coco Gauff had HALF the ability to set up winners like Naomi did in this round...
Osaka is playing some filthy good tennis.
It’s SO nice to see Naomi back & happy! ❤
Love the effort Naomi!
My gut feeling tells me that Osaka will soon stage one of the greatest come back in professional tennis.
So happy to see her back!!!
Great to see 2 moms go at it so well!
I forgot how powerful Naomi's forehand is, if she continues getting back and really concentrates on her game...she will def be back to competing at the highest level again.
Pls make it til the end Naomi! I can't wait for your epic comeback! Someone needs to dethrone IGA 😂❤❤ love iga too though
she still got it👏(osaka)
ありがとう。なおみさん♪
I am loving this Naomi is back!
Osaka is a beast of epic proportions. She demolished.
Two moms showing great tennis match!! 🎉🎉
Naomi is back with a vengeance. I think the WTA tour forgot what she brings to the table. She’s a beast and her head is in a great place.
Such a huge improvement from her form at IW
She is back❤❤❤
Svitolina going to back to her pusher style, she had no chance.
Osaka繼續加油🎉
I loooove the way she is winning!!!
Love to ses these two at this level playing such amazing tennis
One could say this was a mother of a battle!
Hello Naomi moves on. All those who do not like it lump it.
I’m so happy to see Naomi playing well again, and seemingly happy. I admit that I kind of thought she was being a drama queen a few years ago, but then I read about what her father was like and it all made sense. I wish her all the success she deserves.
Battle of the Mothers is full of HEAT
Now she is focus just playing tennis good job Osaka
Bravo Naomi! We love to watch you play. 💗
good job ! But next round difficult against world nr 1-who is very inform😵🤒😗🤩
A couple points here where a simple drop shot (with Svitolina so far back) would have made her life so much easier as opposed to going for power all the time... she's an amazing player already, but those extra tricks will save her a lot of energy and allow to close off matches quicker
great plays!!☺️☺️
Osaka is coming back gradually
Game of mommies❤
Go Go Go !
Two mothers giving a good show for the crowd. She is playing herself into form. Her movement not as good as it was when she first won US Open but I imagine it will get better. Also needs to finish more points at the net, find an occasional drop shot just to add to her game.
All smiles to the comeback Queens!!
Congratulations 🎊🎉🎈 ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
love you Naomi!!!!
1080p pls
massive crowd. more people want to watch her than Iga!
She has more star appeal in top markets
Both r greats.
Iga is way better though
Iga game is not pleasant to watch. Most people stan her for gloryhunting @@notis6107
It's about star power. And Naomi is just more marketble and superstar @@notis6107
@@notis6107 way better is subjective. She is better but way better is exgegrated. Despite her non slams. She has only one slam outside clay. And limited on grass as well as aus open.
Wawo gratulations queen Naomi am so happy for this win let's go 💪💪💪💪
SVITOVINCA camon let’s gooy vamos
I hate that either of them had to lose, but goodness is it wonderful to have both these women back and to see Osaka regaining her form. Have loved Wim’s reactions too. 😊
I was so excited to see this!well done naomi!!!
The rapid development of Naomi Osaka will absolutely escalate the rivalry in the women's tennis. She has an unforeseen upturn within 2024 season in terms of the advancement. If it smoothly continues throughout the whole period, we will watch the fortuitous outcomes in the formidable encounters.
As the Rolling Stones would say: Satisfaction...
