this is a group of 20 year old players who are coming through at the right time for the wta. venus and serana are coming to the ends of their careers and doper maria sharapova is damaged goods.
17sunnyhour, You are correct Her inconsistency probably due to her being a rookie, I remember the Williams sisters started out that way too. She got the physical talent.The mental aspect of professional tennis is what she will need to improve to become a Grand Slam Winner. Did you know that she is half Haitian? That's where she gets that beautiful Tan.
3 massive improvements I've seen from Osaka in the last 6 months. 1. Fitness and speed around the court 2. Consistency, plays with much more margin than what she once did 3. Mental strength. With consistent results at all 4 grand slams, she's a major grand slam contender
Absolutely! I had the same feeling about her as I did for Nadal when he arrived on tour. If she's consistent and dedicated, I see her as a future dominating slam champion!
paper wait exactly and about point construction: she said it herself that she is much more aware of what she's doing on the court. She's matured in the last couple of months.
Congratulations Naomi for your first big breakthrough! My dream final would be Naomi vs V! She's a potential Grand Slam winner! Keep playing consistent!
The thing I'm grateful for is that I am living at the same time Osaka's career is taking off. Ideal would have been I discovered her around 5 years ago and watched her mature but I'll take this ride since the US Open and watch Osaka's life unfold. I am so happy for her.
J J He never was Serena's coach. He was her hitting partner and a good friend. I guess he wanted to be more than a hitting partner but Serena knew Mouratoglou's ambition was good for her. Worked out well for all it seems.
Emmanuel N: Serena has had 3 coaches - her father, her mother, and Patrick. But, to be fair, Sascha was more than just her hitting partner evdn if he never rose to the level of coach.
i love that she doesnt jump up and down and scream when she wins.i think it is good for young players to keep calm and realize they have much more work to do to grab the title
i don't think that pliskova matches up well against naomi. while naomi also serves big and hits big, she moves much better than pliskova. naomi really does have a game that is much like that of serena's. halep might have a big problem against naomi if halep can't find a way to break naomi's spirit. the match against sakkari was good experience in adjusting to a player who mixes things up, which is something that halep does really well. i don't understand the negative comments about pliskova. lack of showing emotion does not mean that she is playing without heart or that it will keep her from being able to win. some of the comments about pliskova are not entirely unlike some of the comments about ivan lendl when he was playing. it didn't prevent him from winning. pliskova's biggest challenges are the limitations in her game: it's not clear that she moves that well; and she needs time to wind up for her big ground strokes. so a big hitter like naomi can make things difficult for her.
with that win, I believe she's made it into the top 32 which means that she'll soon be seeded at grand slams if she holds it. No doubt she will. Let's see how she does on clay starting next month. Very excited for her and women's tennis!
at 3:47, this girl reminds of Serena's movement back in the day. Amazing. If she maintains this level, dominating the top girls, she will win multiple slams. Probably at the least 5.
What's scary about Osaka is that, she can already win these matches and beat these players yet it's obvious she still has alot of things to improve on. And when she does, maybe she's the one to thank over the Williams throne?
Alex Bajin spent many years in Serena Williams player's box being the tennis great's hitting partner. Now he is passing on his knowledge and experience to the talented Osaka!
Something in me keep telling me that Naomi Osaka is going to win this tournament!! I predict Naomi vs Venus in final and Naomi will defeat Venus. I am a strong Williams sister fan, but I will like Naomi to be the winner.
within a few weeks at IW/Miami she beat Sharapova, Halep, Pliskova, Kasatkina and Serena. In 3 of those matches she won by 6-3 6-2 and dominated the world no.1 6-3 6-0. That is amazing!
Naomi Osaka... she is the next super star in womens tennis... she has has everything to be the next one... WOmesn tennis has been waiting for one like her since Serena williams
karolina-chan 2021 season has just begun, and the Czech chair is grateful for the words we represent Taiwan. Therefore, I give inspiration to karolina-chan .
Everybody coming up with useless discussions about skin and nationality issues. I guess Naomi will have a laugh if she reads these comments, but I'm sure she's smart enough to ignore comments on RUclips. I love her game and I love her personality and not since today, I've been following her for 1,5 years.
to me she,s not like serena but like rafa nadal. she moved better than serena. serena has never been a good mover on court but she compensates by outhitting her opponents with raw power. naomi Osaka is like a female nadal without the crazy topspin. females dont just hit nadal like topspins but she has nadal like movenment and fearlessness on court.
Naomi es una tremenda jugadora, es fuerte, inocente, estratega y muy pero muy habil para levantarse y darle al juego una atractivo de querer verlo una y otra vez, gracias Naomi por alegrarme la vida, JuliaKHiga.
I think that I have never seen such a weak footwork. And Pliskova acts like she does not care. No emotion whatsoever. Winning is not due sweetie, you have to go get it. Bravo Osaka. Such a fresh and entertaining attacker. You are definitely the one to watch!
Naomi Osaka & Daria Kasatkina - 2 refreshing change in womens tennis... bored of the same names ..most of them just above avg... who kept on winning bcs of a weaker field... these 2 new girls gonna make it big...
Whatever happened to pliskova who used to be scary with her serves and forehands.. guess the girls are figuring out her plays. She can be beaten when you play really well.
Lol I envy Pliskova, too lazy but still manages to be on top. She plays like me specially when the day before i got drunk i get to the court with no movement at all..not even bending knees before every shot..and giving a fck about long points...just trying to finish them early
roter13 Naomi looks like she's developing into a great player (with some Serena-like attributes) and will be a contender in the future, but her serve isn't on Serena's level, which would be a foundation of Serena 2.0. lol
For Naomi to be Serena 2.0, she would have to be better than Serena. Serena has 23 Grand Slam Singles titles 13 doubles 3 Olympic Golds and I believe 2 or 3 Mixed Doubles titles... Naomi isn't even in her league.... And if we adjust for age... Serena had already won some doubles slams and mixed doubles slams with Venus by this time already....Does Osaka even play doubles?
Brent Pham Yup, I think I read it in an interview before she started working with Sascha Bajin. I’ve been a big Serena fan since 2000 when I saw her play Venus at the 2000 Wimbledon. I’ve also been dreading the day that Venus and Serena will retire, so it’s fun to see a young player like Naomi emulate their playing style on the court.
All because she is brown doesn't mean she plays like a Williams sister. Venus and Serena by her age were serving and volleying and winning doubles slams. This girl just hits hard and can hit some fat serves. Pliskova does that. Ostapenko hits hard. So does Sharapova.. A bit too one dimensional to play a Williams style game. So can you please clarify what makes Osaka's game a Williams game as opposed to just hitting hard? Because the sisters have a whole lot of variety than they get credit for.
I Think we are seeing the beginning of something special! Go Naomi Osaka! Go WTA!

@@17sunnyhour you were saying? :P
@@17sunnyhour why u give e same comment u hv problem wit Naomi? Btw u r sooo wrong..
You were right.
3 massive improvements I've seen from Osaka in the last 6 months.
1. Fitness and speed around the court
2. Consistency, plays with much more margin than what she once did
3. Mental strength.
With consistent results at all 4 grand slams, she's a major grand slam contender
Mark Anthony Core that’s because her coach introduced her into using more topspin, so that explains the margin thing.
other improvements are that she is constructing points much better and she is also increasingly able to problem solve during a match.
Absolutely! I had the same feeling about her as I did for Nadal when he arrived on tour. If she's consistent and dedicated, I see her as a future dominating slam champion!
Mark Anthony Core I agree, her movement is much better and so is her ball hitting, much cleaner. She seems more composed.
paper wait exactly and about point construction: she said it herself that she is much more aware of what she's doing on the court. She's matured in the last couple of months.
Congratulations Naomi for your first big breakthrough! My dream final would be Naomi vs V! She's a potential Grand Slam winner! Keep playing consistent!
starside7 But she literally beat Sharapova though...?
The thing I'm grateful for is that I am living at the same time Osaka's career is taking off. Ideal would have been I discovered her around 5 years ago and watched her mature but I'll take this ride since the US Open and watch Osaka's life unfold. I am so happy for her.
Naomi is the future number 1 and GS winner soon
osaka and kasatkina both are doing well
Abdullah Radwan correctly, both are great players with great attitudes.
Ronaldo Messi the true test is can she hang with Serena at her best?!?
nickelwindow53 who knows. Even i love Serena so much but its nice to see new generation like her
17sunnyhour yea... wish she can be more consistent in the future
this sascha bajin is a real good coach. serena, vika also he coached good n now hes gona get osaka win titles
sasha was a hitting partner, who had ambitions of being a coach. his work with naomi is sasha's first coaching gig.
J J He never was Serena's coach. He was her hitting partner and a good friend. I guess he wanted to be more than a hitting partner but Serena knew Mouratoglou's ambition was good for her.
Worked out well for all it seems.
Wow so refreshing to watch Osaka play
Very smart , well calculated and fast on court
The future looks bright for her . Wish her greatness
It looks like sacha is doing a good job as her coach
Roni Elali
Her coach was the coach of Serena William.
uyen nguyen
Not coach but Serena's hitting partner
uyen nguyen
He wasn't Serena's coach, but hitting partner. Serena has only had 2 coaches throughout her career :her dad, then Moratoglu upto now.
Emmanuel N: Serena has had 3 coaches - her father, her mother, and Patrick. But, to be fair, Sascha was more than just her hitting partner evdn if he never rose to the level of coach.
Yeah I remember he coached Azarenka and Wozniacki too and they had very good results!
Osaka is looking like a serious contender now!!!! WOW
I LURRRVE Naomi Osaka. She will give me someone to root and watch for after Serena eventually retires.
Naomi is coming into her own. She's supremely talented and it's all coming together for her.
Naomi Osaka for the title.. #Slayomi
WOW. First Japanese player to reach a WTA premier mandatory event. Congratulations to Osaka.
I'm blessed as japanese she reached SF. Hopefully she can win next match.
What about Kimiko Date Krumm?
No womens japanese player has ever reached a WTA premier mandatory event? 95 miami Kimiko Date lost against Graf in the finals?
Naomi Osaka is actually half Haitian that's were she gets here beautiful tan. Go WTA!
Please don't forget about Kimiko Date,former no.4 japanese player.
She is so polite! Love her!!!
i love that she doesnt jump up and down and scream when she wins.i think it is good for young players to keep calm and realize they have much more work to do to grab the title
Naomi will be future no 1 and grand slam winner
good prediction she won the US open
Madison : )
And now she's the world no 1!
Your wishes did come true.
@WTA!!! u guys r amazing, I will support your organisation for life - thanks for the video upload =D
Osakas ground stroke technique is just amazing.
i don't think that pliskova matches up well against naomi. while naomi also serves big and hits big, she moves much better than pliskova. naomi really does have a game that is much like that of serena's. halep might have a big problem against naomi if halep can't find a way to break naomi's spirit. the match against sakkari was good experience in adjusting to a player who mixes things up, which is something that halep does really well.

The world loves you Naomi🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💓💓💓keep the temp. Congratulations Sasha, you will reap a good reward for all your efforts....
The trainer of Naomi is very smart, have agreat experience to make a champion ship like naomi
Osaka is looking like she's on the road to top 20 in just a few weeks.
with that win, I believe she's made it into the top 32 which means that she'll soon be seeded at grand slams if she holds it. No doubt she will. Let's see how she does on clay starting next month. Very excited for her and women's tennis!
After winning US open, she'll be ranked no. 7
and now she's the number 1.
Love you Naomi Osaka I'm now excited about tennis again --- GO JAPAN!!!!
at 3:47, this girl reminds of Serena's movement back in the day. Amazing. If she maintains this level, dominating the top girls, she will win multiple slams. Probably at the least 5.
4 time grandslam winner now!!
Osaka...wow...we so proud of you..
Her movement and her composure is everything 🙌🏾👏🏽❤️
great play sweetheart osaka.. amazing performance..
Wow! Big win for Osaka.
Superior skills. Osaka on fire!!
Osaka will be top 10 in a year.
Within less than a year. She's #7 now
She's top 5 now.
Number 1
What's scary about Osaka is that, she can already win these matches and beat these players yet it's obvious she still has alot of things to improve on. And when she does, maybe she's the one to thank over the Williams throne?
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Beautiful. Simply beautiful.
Matchpoint said it all, Pliskova is an open book for Osaka. Goes for the current top 10. Dated game.
Pliskova showed no heart or fight.
Well done Naomi. Go for it.
Alex Bajin spent many years in Serena Williams player's box being the tennis great's hitting partner. Now he is passing on his knowledge and experience to the talented Osaka!
I love that little basketball analogy he threw in there for March Madness! Kudos!!!
Something in me keep telling me that Naomi Osaka is going to win this tournament!! I predict Naomi vs Venus in final and Naomi will defeat Venus. I am a strong Williams sister fan, but I will like Naomi to be the winner.
I'd like to see Naomi vs Kasatkina in the final, that would be a great match.
Maybe, but naomi did lose pretty badly to halep at Aus open. Perhaps it'll be a revenge claim for her.
Samuel Williams
I really want queen v to win
Samuel Williams I want Venus to school the young one a good time! 🤞🏾🤞🏾
I'm a diehard Williams fan but honestly Venus doesn't stand a chance against Osaka.
Let me predict: Osaka will win so many grandslams in the future.
within a few weeks at IW/Miami she beat Sharapova, Halep, Pliskova, Kasatkina and Serena. In 3 of those matches she won by 6-3 6-2 and dominated the world no.1 6-3 6-0. That is amazing!
Naomi is the best "humble pink tiger"
Me encanta la japonesa excelente jugadora 😉🙃🇯🇵😜👈
3:03 I watch her play that knee on the ground shot few times
Naomi Osaka... she is the next super star in womens tennis... she has has everything to be the next one... WOmesn tennis has been waiting for one like her since Serena williams
Who comes here after Pliskova lose from Osaka in AO 2019 semifinal?? Hehe just my predict
I came here because Osaka is so inspiring right now.
@@nemospence2724 she's so inspiration for Young Asian tennis player now
Osaka reminds me of Martina Hingis how she was advancing fast to the TOP destroying her Opponents.
karolina-chan 2021 season has just begun, and the Czech chair is grateful for the words we represent Taiwan. Therefore, I give inspiration to karolina-chan
.
Well done lady.
Congrats to Naomi but I expect something more from Pliskova
why do you think venus and serena has been dominating the wta? natural POWER!
Everybody coming up with useless discussions about skin and nationality issues. I guess Naomi will have a laugh if she reads these comments, but I'm sure she's smart enough to ignore comments on RUclips. I love her game and I love her personality and not since today, I've been following her for 1,5 years.
What's happening with pliskova ?
Martin Laurence
Osaka happened
She wasnt charged properly
17sunnyhour she beat both sisters at the us open. She needs to win a grand slam first before she is even considered being compared to the sisters
Neither muguruza nor pliskova can be considered the William's equal. Grand slams are the pinnacle of the sport.
..just a simple smile... while the people around smile ear to ear...
The WTA highlights are so much better than ATP
やー、今振り返るとサーシャさんと大坂選手は互いに一筋の道に、栄光に向かって歌ってたなー。二人して輝いてたなー。
Beautiful osaka. Japaniche strong women best carolina osaka steigen naomi
Her game totally reminds me of Serena's.. My God. This kid is so good
to me she,s not like serena but like rafa nadal. she moved better than serena. serena has never been a good mover on court but she compensates by outhitting her opponents with raw power.
naomi Osaka is like a female nadal without the crazy topspin. females dont just hit nadal like topspins but she has nadal like movenment and fearlessness on court.
Nidsy A She is better
I TRUELY BELIEVE THAT THE US OPEN WILL BE YOURS U ARE AN EXCELLNT PLAYER GIRL
I hope Naomi can play like this again soon
Bye bye servebot giant.
ItzHenryTheKidGamer YT ?
Who actually says ‘servebot’ what a complete goon
LOL look at Sascha's face at the end :D
Milana Maricic .yes very very happy.
In a way she reminds me of a young Rafa. The utter fearlessness with which she plays.
Eamon Brennan .yes I remarked that. A bit of rafa athletism. Djokovich techniques. Federer tactics and moves
What an amazing game!!
Naomi es una tremenda jugadora, es fuerte, inocente, estratega y muy pero muy habil para levantarse y darle al juego una atractivo de querer verlo una y otra vez, gracias Naomi por alegrarme la vida, JuliaKHiga.

Now US open champion, everyone is right here on Osaka
Petra kvitova vs naomi Osaka would be very interesting!
I think Naomi will win this Indian wells

頑張って, ナオミ!
Osaka is the one to beat honestly
Where is this Naomi?
Who is the female commentator?
I'm a fan
Go girl!!
Back when Osaka is still willing to run around the court to get the ball.
Pliskova is another shocker too, like Halep.
a knowlegeble robot against a tennis player
dont know much Naomi till now : )
Naomi is Serena 2.0
You're pathetic.
roter13 I love Naomi but she's gonna have to win LOTS of slams to be Serena '2.0'
roter13 Naomi looks like she's developing into a great player (with some Serena-like attributes) and will be a contender in the future, but her serve isn't on Serena's level, which would be a foundation of Serena 2.0. lol

I think I remember reading she idolized Serena growing up.
Jason Ly her coach worked with serena and she resembles Serena especially with the hair.

P V You ain't got to get all out of control about what I said. But if you must know what I think is similar I'd say it's shot selection.
Nobody in the stadium. This is going to change from now on.
she is like a Hawaiian anime. that's the vibe I get from her
Nice opening shot...drone much😆
She is going to be very rich.
Behave because there is a new sheriff in town!!!!!!!!!!!
First time to see her laughing
Osaka...damage control to the status quo.
WOOOOOOOOOOWOWOWOOOW
i didn't care for that male announcer! Go Naomi
Big Babe Tennis
as expected, the serve bot lose again from aggressive player
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Sascha looks like jimmy fallon
Bad quality video!
