Naomi once said, as a child, she would dream of playing Serena in finals, and when asked, who won? Naomi smiled, I don't lose in my dreams. If you can see it, you can be it. Dream On, Naomi Osaka, Dream On! No one remembers the runner up, they remember the Winners. The mentality of a Champion. 🏆 🏆 🏆. Being the Best, She can Be.
@@co9971 she has no control over when she plays Serena. Secondly she played her multiple times in the semis or finals so u cant say "past her prime" when she is still getting to the final 4
she is so down to earth, graceful, and well-spoken. a truly amazing ambassador for the sport of tennis, and someone who realizes she can use her visibility to speak out for racial and gender equality. I adore her, and can't wait to see her career continue to grow
As a society we need to stop expressing who is a representative based on our comfort level. Any woman; especially a woman of melanin has to get past both racial and sexual barriers and still manifest their destinies.
This thread is borderline ridiculous. Apparently America is so racist and misogynist that a half Japanese girl can move to the states to be trained and promoted then assert her Japanese heritage even though she is clearly from LA, and some how this is oppression.
The beauty, humility, composure, calmness, intelligence, cuteness, execution, ruthlessness, committment, dedication, speed, power, intensity, focus, representation, determination, activism..... everything in one gorgeous package. The future of tennis, not women's tennis, but TENNIS..... is in good hands!!!
I love the way of being of this girl! She is from another planet. I grow up watching: Wimbledon, Roland, UP, AO...and I heard a lot of interviews from : Sampers, Agassi, Roger, Nadal, Djokovic...I have never seen a player like her. A case to study in tennis game in all level. Especially in mental level. She said that during the game she argue with herself about how to overcome the way of playing of Serina but fast fast, she come back to the real challenge she have: how to execute her plan. Love you Naomie, keep going. Another big star in univer of tennis game.
Yes you're right, she needs to play at Wimbledon and Roland to join the elite of tennis game. She said that after her win today: I need to practice (clay and grass courts). I hope she can win Wimbledon at least once.
I like that Naomi is such a humble winner. She seems like a very relatable, down-to-earth young woman who displays such humility, poise, and respect for the game of women’s tennis. She definitely has a promising career ahead of her!
I can't wait to watch all of @Naomis interviews with my daughter in afew years. Her humility, thoughtfulness, intelligence, competitiveness, is super inspiring.
A Superstar is born , no one can stop her now. She has nerves of steel . Naomi you were my number 2 after Serena now i have found a new home coz the queen will not be around for much longer .Hopefully you will up your game on the other 2 surfaces and be a mega grand slam winner, you can do it. GO NAOMI.
@@jeffreykaufmann2867 I agree and she is now very good with her angles, let's see if she can get to the second week. We all know how she does moving forward when that happens.
I'm not sure what the deal with the two gentlemen above me is, but I definitely agree! She has all the makings of a future tennis icon- humility, poise, and of course, an insane game!!
"Knowing that the people I love will still love me if I lose a tennis match". So much wisdom. For people who equate their worth with what they do (replace "lose a tennis match" with whatever they do), this is a vital sentiment, and it takes great effort to arrive at it.
I'm loving this girl because she always stays humble and tries to do the right things using her fame and the platform of tennis. A very inspirational human being.
I feel the same way about the questions , almost all were very good and the ones that could have been lame (why a Lakers jacket?) she flipped it with a good responds.
Her parents did a brilliant job instilling in her bedrock values, humility, humaneness and perspective. Such a genuinely thoughtful human being, apart from having a gorgeous baseline game and incredible movement. "I want to do really well as a vessel for everyone's hard work". I love this girl!!! Well done, Mom and Dad!
best part of the interview. very articulate and full of wisdom beyond her age. funny how people comment on "how she speaks" and find her immature rather then "listening to her message". bunch of illiterate, racist and immature people probably!!😀
Best post match interview . Hats off to journalists asking such good quality questions and the the way Naomi answering them so much composure and champion mentality. Honest and down to earth.
Love what she said about growing the sport with a new comer in the finals. She is a very smart player, she reminds me of Arthur Ashe with her intelligence and her like ability..
Only when the name of the runner-up is Serena will it be remembered. It will hold fast in the memory of everyone who played her and everyone who watched from the stands.
She has that sense of intelligence, humor, honesty, spontaneity , candid and humility combined in one. I always want to listen to her press conference.
Love this maturity, I hope you can stay composed during Saturday's finals and not feel the pressure like at the US Open first set against Vika or like your match against Muguruza. Trust the process that your team has laid out for you!
"I used to weigh my entire existence on whether I won or lost a tennis match, and that's just not how I feel anymore". While calling a match at the US Open, where Naomi continued her courageous stand for Black lives, wearing a mask bearing the name of one of seven people murdered by police, Chris Evert said at a point where Naomi's opponent had the edge, "she needs to set aside her activism and focus on her tennis". That may have been Chris' experience, but Naomi proved to be bigger than that, a more complete and evolved human being, and paradoxically, it turns out that NOT having your whole self-worth riding on a tennis match makes you a fearless, and therefore a more dangerous opponent. Since taking her stand, her activism has hardly interfered, Ms. Evert. She HASN'T LOST A MATCH SINCE. Activism, far from interfering, has made her greater as a tennis player and, more important, as a human being.
@@yussepig6629 Chris was an awesome player, but her commentary is solely for Serena. She goes silent when Serena loses. Never talks that much about other players. She may not be racist, but she sure shows favoritism.
That is the game changer. In this time you see more and more individualism being pushed to the background by the now generation. Media and public will have to reprogram the notion of the champion. You did with and for the team, even in tennis. Thats why she always thanks the ball boys and girls. Naomi is changing (touching) a lot, others dont dare, and she dont cares.
I watched her when she was unknown. I liked her already. Knew she will be around the top players one day. Well she never failed to deliver. What an absolute pleasure to watch playing and conducting and interview. Simply educational. I admire her for what she has become. All praise to humble parents 🙏
She amazed me every time how well spoken she is! A beautiful role model and a great player on the tour to watch out, she will definitely will dominate WTA if she stay healthy and doesn’t get injured
I love that Laker’s Jersey she is wearing remembering Kobe Bryant. That’s very sentimental & I am impressed. Wishing you all the best in the Finals & I will be watching. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Naomi is a genuinely humble person. She gives great thought to her life, family, heritage, strategic tennis game and reaction to winning. She knows how much of herself to reveal. I'm so proud of the outer strength she's showing during this grueling long interview. Her perserverance is outstanding because clearly she's hurting inside. By observing her throat muscles and how she's swallowing, I had to stop watching because although she is obviously pleased with her winning, she hurting for Serena. They're both hold special places in my heart forever.
Its so crazy I love how Japan's top atheletes right now, Osaka, Hachimura.. mixed race Japanese just like me :) I never thought I would see mixed raced public figures anywhere, the kid in me is really happy. Osaka what a class act and what a competitor.
@@kinomusic9110 Guessing it won't be that big of a deal. Osaka scored a deal with them that's better than just about any other athlete prior. Nike seems more focused on Naomi's marketability in fashion in general (they're partnering with her on a streetwear line in Japan and not on a tennis line), and not so much on what she wears on the court.
To think that Sharapova used to be the walking billboard£££$$$. Her record against Serena alone shows she was not worthy of it but its not her fault she looks the way she does but back then it was what sold. I am very pleased that Naomi is considered the new poster girl and what sells.
The Final was against Muguruza... Garbiñe let her go and we have a champion. Additionally her mentality and her personality is special and unique. Well deserved and good luck.
Such a genuinely likeable woman.. and to hear that for this tournament she wants to do her best for her team ... to channel their support and enthusiasm, is so simply put. And what’s not to love about her self-description of her progress, a real maturity that her parents, family and coach must be proud of! 🇳🇿🇳🇿🐑🐑
I am very proud of both women! They are stellar in their game and represented their families and cultures well. Both women served well and did outstanding in the capacity of their current career and career to become. The fact of the matter is that both were born and gifted to be in the sport they are in and made history. History will not change but remain true to future tennis players yet to be born and those interested just watching the sport. You both ROCK, Ms. Williams and Ms. Osaka!!!
I love hearing her speak. her calm makes me calm. There's very little ego present when I watch her in the post-game press conferences and the way she tends to focus on the present moment only is going to take her to the top of this game. I sense no resistance in this one. Love her mindset!
I don't see the humility but I do see the intelligent and strength, I think she will be on top for year's. No one will defeat her and certainly not Serena. I think that's why Serena cried at her interview she has come to that conclusion herself.
People keep in mine that serena has a proven history "longivity" many years of success. Naomi is great but sit back and wait for her years of proof. We shouldn't compare because it's not over until its over.
There's going to be excitement. How many woman other than Serena have won at least 4 g's since 1999: Venus, Justine, Maria, Kim, and now Naomi. I may be forgetting someone, not sure though.
The one thing she has done in Tennis history is to stop Williams each time she has faced her in a Grand Slam Tourney. I've always awed in Serena, however with today's access to the best coaches, food, trainings, knowledge, Naomi has taken me by storm. As the Open Era has the MOST toughest competitors. Serena will always be a GOAT, however Naomi for me is remarkable during this era.
Naomi is going to dominate for the next decade , at LEAST, i can’t wait for her calendar grand slam in the next 5 years, or THIS year. i definitely can’t wait for her to win all the grand slams or most of them and then take the Olympic Gold once or twice 🏆✨
Our 2021 Australian singles women champ - Naomi Osaka 🏆; maybe Venus and Serena should dominate the doubles field unlike no other pair has EVER done , and that would be a beautiful end to their career, however, serena will achieve the 24/25 grand slams, and naomi will equal or surpass her in the future, but Serena will ALWAYS be the GOAT💪🏾✨
@Josh Lum is Serena any better on clay though? let’s be real, until Serena retires, Naomi will be compared to her as long as Serena makes deep run in Slam, but , with the mental toughness of Naomi at this early in the year, she is bound to naturally adapt (as Serena did) to the surface and sweep everyone there as well
Josh Lum Naomi at her best now is better than everyone else in her generation. She can definitely improve or adjust her already formidable game to suit any surface now that she knows she’s the best. If a ‘mediocre’ player like Sharapova can adapt to win The French Open I’m sure a player the caliber of Naomi Osaka will.
@@jackthrone5555 let’s not down play Maria’s talent. She was gifted and mostly had a mentally strong head to grind out of tough matches. 5 slams on all surfaces is nothing to sneeze at.
She is articulate , thoughtful and really respectful of other competitors , these characteristics will take her very far. That is why she won today and will winning many more.
Naomi is definitely the best now, but 3, maybe 4 Grand Slams does not compare to 23 Grand Slams. Don't you know math? Serena is the greatest! That throne belongs to Serena!!!
Pure graciousness --- and did you know that last year she made over $37 mil just from endorsements --- not from tennis --- but because of her personality from playing tennis! #yougogirl
You have mature so much on and off the court and when I listen to you that have help your game in more ways than one you are heading for greatness and for you to beat the goat of tennis so many times to reach a finals defines your progress over the pass 3 years congratulations Naomi
Journalist: "Why was it intimidating to see [Serena] on the other side of the net?" Naomi (in her head): "Because it's freakin' Serena you dumbass." But of course she is far too nice to say that lol
Naomi once said, as a child, she would dream of playing Serena in finals, and when asked, who won? Naomi smiled, I don't lose in my dreams. If you can see it, you can be it. Dream On, Naomi Osaka, Dream On! No one remembers the runner up, they remember the Winners. The mentality of a Champion. 🏆 🏆 🏆. Being the Best, She can Be.

@@TulusCiptadi Iga best Surface is actually Grass
Ooooooohhhhhh. Great thinking! I'll be waiting for that matchup.

I love that she always seems to give thoughtful and truthful answers. Her soft-spoken demeanour belies her newfound self-confidence.
The Silent Samurai. The AO 2021 winner. Wish you win all the GS this year.
The only problem is she isn’t so good in Europe...but we will see
You mean the Silent Kuniochi.
I don't think so anymore I guess, she improves alot about all surfaces . I believe she capitalise on Williams 'legacy: Ve and Serena.
"People don't remember the runners-up"
Tough and she is absolutely correct.
Only when the name of the runner-up is Serena will it be remembered. It will hold fast in the memory of everyone who played her and everyone who watched from the stands.

Our 2021 Australian singles women champ - Naomi Osaka 🏆; maybe Venus and Serena should dominate the doubles field unlike no other pair has EVER done , and that would be a beautiful end to their career, however, serena will achieve the 24/25 grand slams, and naomi will equal or surpass her in the future, but Serena will ALWAYS be the GOAT💪🏾✨
@Josh Lum is Serena any better on clay though? let’s be real, until Serena retires, Naomi will be compared to her as long as Serena makes deep run in Slam, but , with the mental toughness of Naomi at this early in the year, she is bound to naturally adapt (as Serena did) to the surface and sweep everyone there as well
@Josh Lum we said that about Sharapova and look at what happened there.
Josh Lum Naomi at her best now is better than everyone else in her generation. She can definitely improve or adjust her already formidable game to suit any surface now that she knows she’s the best. If a ‘mediocre’ player like Sharapova can adapt to win The French Open I’m sure a player the caliber of Naomi Osaka will.
@@jackthrone5555 let’s not down play Maria’s talent. She was gifted and mostly had a mentally strong head to grind out of tough matches. 5 slams on all surfaces is nothing to sneeze at.
She is articulate , thoughtful and really respectful of other competitors , these characteristics will take her very far. That is why she won today and will winning many more.
She is so humble and sweet. Her tennis is great! She doesn’t need to wear ridiculous t-shorts reminding us she’s the queen. Great job Naomi!
Naomi we love you we love what you stand for we love the way you play the game and we love the way you think you are a beautiful sister God blessings
She has such a sweet spirit. I hope that she continues to be more and more blessed with her gift.
reporter: "why was it intimidating to see her on the other side of the net?"
naomi: "laughs hysterically"

Do you know what "hysterically" means?
*slight chuckle*
I think she is absolutely great. Kept her calm with all the Serena drama. I wish her success. Classy all the way.
Serena is the greatest, but Naomi you are definitely heir to the throne. God Bless you and go for it!
She’s taken that throne.
Naomi is definitely the best now, but 3, maybe 4 Grand Slams does not compare to 23 Grand Slams. Don't you know math? Serena is the greatest! That throne belongs to Serena!!!
@@Lola-iv5ut Calm down, Karen.
i love her honesty
Pure graciousness --- and did you know that last year she made over $37 mil just from endorsements --- not from tennis --- but because of her personality from playing tennis! #yougogirl
Wasn't really a fan of Naomi but yeah she is impossible not to like. she really grows on you especially in her interviews.
When she first came up in the ranks you could feel her immaturity despite her humility and humbleness. She’s become more mature over the last 2 years.
You have mature so much on and off the court and when I listen to you that have help your game in more ways than one you are heading for greatness and for you to beat the goat of tennis so many times to reach a finals defines your progress over the pass 3 years congratulations Naomi
Passing of the torch.
Journalist: "Why was it intimidating to see [Serena] on the other side of the net?"
Naomi (in her head): "Because it's freakin' Serena you dumbass." But of course she is far too nice to say that lol
Exactly! 😂 like duhhhh?!
Love how she represents Bean. Kobe forever
Congrats Naomi on your victory against the best female tennis player in the history.
Naomi is a true champion and off the court. Love the more mature Naomi even better.
The 2:51 mark
We're the process of MUMBA MENTALITY
I Love it
Love her, great player great attitude.
Every answer from Naomi starts with a cute „Uuumm?“ 😂
I have a Japanese mom and lived in Japan for a few years, I think the whole “um” thing is a Japanese thing haha
