US Open Winner Naomi Osaka Speaks Out On Controversial Serena Williams Match | TODAY
The media wants her to give a controversial comment but she isn't falling for the bait
Smart girl. Glad to see her doing so well.
Jeremy, agree with you, the media are trying to fuel the fire. Naomi has been well brought up by her parents and this shows in the interview as also at the grand finals presentation.
Exactly 👍
I agree, Jeremy. She s so young but smart & mature beyond her age!(^^). Serena was her IDOL for all her life, so she's not about say anything negative about her. I think her parents have been doing a great job raising her being sensible & sensitive on tricky, messy situations. (^^)
@@knobed138 That was so unnecessary things to say about Serena. In case you don't know, NAOMI loves Serena... respecting & idealizing her for so many years, NAOMI will hate to see YOUR comment....calling her "Chimp". That's so rude!! 1 other viewer joined you with the disgusting comment about Serena & again, NAOMI would feel sad seeing that. I'm sure she feels she can do without the fans like you guys.
I think the interviewers should ask more about Naomi, not about Serena. I hope they show more respect to Naomi.
That doesn't get views.
It would help if she wasnt asian. Asians possess a pariah effect in western media.
RecoveringChristian she is half black.
Its not about 'the poor little girl who was amazing' but more of an opportunity to reinforce divinity of their diva and further deify their goddess.
In time to come when things will be done and said." and paraventure it will one day and when it does you'll will turn on her too the same way you do on Serena.remember she is half black???? You people are Just two tounge haters.
This poor girl played her heart out and won and doesn't even get to enjoy it...shame on the people running the ceremony for letting that go on the way that it did.
Its not fair... :(
Hi Diana, On the upside for her though, she just got 10x more exposure than she would have by just winning. And managed to be the only one who came out looking good from every angle. At 20 years old in her career this will probably work out very well for her with a big boost in her profile, extra sponsorship, extra fans, extra appearance fees etc.
she'll just have to win again..should serve as motivation.
Diana Brown amen!
Shame on the line judge for CHEATING.
America embraces you Naomi... Forget that fake crowd at the US open.... You're a true champ
fafafuhi 22
Well, she's an American citizen, so that's sort of obvious
Not just America.. the whole world
u mean " NEO ME"
Please remember that the crowd didn't really know or understand what was going on or why there was a game penalty, etc. They were booing because an "outside influence" (as in other than the match) robbed them of a wonderful match that cost them a ton of money to watch. Love Naomi and Serena!
((ʚ( ´ ꒳ ` )ɞ))
These hosts are a joke they didn't even research her! She's played Serena before but they thought it was the first time!! Bad hosts!!
Yes, she had already won against Serena before this US Open and had also won against Venus.
yes very poor !
Yep, a blunder like that should be enough to get you fired but LOL US talkshows I guess
Bulletproofcammy im sure they didnt even bother to research about naomi but just invited her here to lure her to say things against serena so they can publish that on paper
B K she’s amazing
The interviewers are TERRIBLE. I wanted to hear about Naomi, not Serena, Serena, Serena...
First frame says it all.
Right
Thank you
Exactly
People want drama.....
She won the U.S. open, she played like a champion and acted like a champion. She should be proud.
Unfortunately, the crowd didn't allow her to feel like a champion though. It hurt to see her so depressed up on the podium as she was getting ready to receive her trophy...
No one will feel proud when the whole crowd is booing them.
This was the worst interview! WHAT DOES SERENA SMELL LIKE!??!? SERENA, SERENA! All of Osaka's photos of her winning have Serena in them.
Sophia E i mean she brings views
Sophia E, because Serena's win was stolen period! we all see it, only morons like you don't!
@@shaiska hahaha seems to me that you don't.
@Sam Buddy it's a pitty because Osaka was an amazing player and could possibly be the next tennis star. But who cares!!! Serena Serena Serena!
Did Osaka Blowup?
Why not talk about her own successful career instead of Serena ?
It's a shame the interviewers said she came out of nowhere, anyone who half-follows tennis knows she has been on the rise for a while
Its America soooo we know what we talking bout ..
Because she's not American so she's not important in their eyes.
The Centrist she actually IS American. She’s a US citizen and has lived here for like 17 years. She just chooses to play for Japan... I don’t get it.
feliceluvzya1 my first point is now, yes.
Naomi doesn't need to apologise for anything.
I think in a way she is apologizing on behalf of Serena and her bad behaviour because Serena isnt mature enough to apologize herself for the couching from the stage and calling the ampire a theif and throwing a tiff saying its for womans rights...
sure, someone hates black people. don't worry japanese people are democratic, you shouldn't root for either peter!
Agree. And at the same time I am truly appreciate the way she showed the Japanese spirit. She is humble, strong, adorable and beautiful.
well Said
I felt so bad that she needs to apologize. She seems like a lovely young lady.
Naomi is the winner give her some credit she's one lady her being nervous is so cute
SOME credit? Give everyone a break!!! She deserves ALL the break. She won fair ans square. Serenanus messed up and that's her own fault.
Markus 'damnit u said it!' !!!
fairy princess Quit being a racist!!
Her hair is gorgeous.
fairy princess , Let me guess, you are a black woman yourself? Did you not see that her being coached? Did you not see her break the racket? Did you not see her call the umpire a thief?? Stop blaming white people for everything.
How can you NOT LOVE NAOMI OSAKA!? She is AMAZING in soo many ways , and many individuals can learn from her 🙂
I wish I can be her best Friend !!😄😄😄😄😄😄
Osaka *
@@thunderouspredator4299 I wish I could be more than her friend
A sweeeeeeet black women queen 👑
@@markhuton3972 You know she is also japanese, not just black...
Is this a Serena interview or an Osaka interview?
Justin Flynn very confused about the interview? All about Serena! Give her some
credit!!! Bad interview...she looks/sounds very humble!
Justin Flynn no jake paul interview
Justin Flynn
Exactly....they expected to put them against each other. But her dad had promoted her already about these tactics ling ago up to the day of this interview. She also has watched Serena' career since she was a small child. So, the black father has taught his child about Serena's struggles as a black woman in a white man's game. Notice, how Everytime that tried to ask leading questions regarding Serena her facial expression changed? She really respects and Honors Serena. Very humble.....unlike Most Rap and Music artist in the industry that disrespect those whom paved their way.
This girl is naturally humble. She doesn’t even need to try. I hope she stays grounded. A Good character that needs to be guarded.
I'm sure she'll stay grounded. Just like most of tennis players.
Japanese culture my friend
Murt ,
wrong. Japanese and Haitian .......humility and respect for elders abound in so many cultures.
She grew up in Japan, not Haiti. Your adaption to culture depends on the environment, not your born race. DUH
Murt ,
wrong again. She actually grew up in Miami. she left Japan when she was 3yrs old. D'duh!!. Humility and respect is actually taught and imparted/influenced on kids in their earliest formative years, a trait that is definitely not American although she was raised here.
Terrible interview...they didnt make her feel like a winner. She deserves more respect! She does not seem happy.
Naa Mills RE Matchmaker savana is so unprofessional, literally making feel like she was a nobody
Exactly what I was thinking!
Right after they stole points from Serena
Tiffany Williams no points were stolen
It was a terrible interview, but it certainly wasn't disrespectful. Sappy and nonsubstantive, more like it. They DID try to make her feel like a winner, and that's exactly what's wrong with this interview and so many others. What ever happened to actually asking interesting questions to try to get interesting answers, instead of fawning all over the interviewee?
Shameful trying to lure an innocent humble girl to give her opinion against the beloved idol. She handled it diplomatically.
She's a pretty shy girl. She handles interviews a lot better than me. I would be sweating a river.
she is not a girl for heavens sake.she is20 years old.
You are not going to get to bang this Haitian Japanese woman - that's for sure.
Being a professional tennis player is a very isolating and structured life; she probably does not have the same exposure to normal social events like a typical 20 year old.
the best thing is how this shy kid turns on the court into a killer without nerves
I don't think she is shy at all. She is polite and soft spoken but shy, NO ! she is actually strong and confident like a Bull inside. Don't believe the facade she gives you. Look at her eyes as she gazes at people, there is a fire breathing Bull behind those eyes. I have training on these things.
this was a terrible interview. I haven't learned anything about her other than what she felt at the ceremony. naomi deserves better.
zaak186 umm well
zaak186 .. not surprising though .. NBC is Fake News.
all american news channels are fake or garbage news. so biased about one theme or another instead of.....report... british news are way to different, always frontal with the news and the fact, no opinions at all.
Zaak186, I so agree.
darkcloud .. the BBC are Fake News .. along with The Guardian; the Daily Mirror; The Sunday Mirror and countless others - too many to mention ... plenty of garbage comes out of the UK.
Not appreciating the fact that all they're talking about is the controversy rather than asking how was the entire journey and what led up to the surreal moment of winning the grand slam.
Maria Asad agreed!!
We don’t live in that kind of world unfortunately. It’s more interesting to talk about the controversy that surrounded that match than a player winning a grand slam ( even if it is for the 1st time)...
True that! :/
Because it is a controversy. Being disqualified for a potential incorrect call made by a ref is kind of a big deal.
Because all any of them really care about is gossip around Serena.
She’s so adorable 😭
And cute.
Not really, she does not shine
Simps
@@noodlesrl8488 u never touched a woman before sush
@@sallybally344 that is ur opinion and I will respectfully disagree my friend she's adorable
"How did it feel to play Serena for the first time?"-- "Actually, I played her in Miami" --These reporters didn't do their homework haha..
Josue166 ‘Reporters’....lol
Of course not
0:40 thats not what she said
exactly. and she won against Serena on Miami too.
SHE GETS HER FACTS TRAIGHT
Naomi has a diamond heart.
Humble & a genuine person she is...
Stfu you don't know anything about her
@ someone cant compliment a person without ppl like you being outtatiming
Let Naomi have her moment. Stop addressing Serena who can speak for herself.
I agree!!! She can't even enjoy her moment.
I agree.
Agreed. She earned this championship.
But Serena is the darling of the liberal press: how dare this little Japanese ruin her legend?!
Naomi Osaka must renounce her victory because the patriarchy plotted against Serena Williams! Otherwise she is a racist, homophobic, Islamophobic fascist.
Well said!
She is SO Humble .. I LOVE Her!! A Very Talented Player!! you GO Girl!!!
Serena Williams would be ashamed of herself I'll never look at her the same way again. What goes around comes around
These liberal biased nuts are trying to create news and Naomi didn’t fall for it. Naomi’s honesty is very evident, because she has been interviewed few times now and her answers didn’t change. No matter how they are presented to her, her answers are the same. Hope she doesn’t become another arrogant brad like the one she just defeated. Do you see? When good character is present, nationally, race, skin color, gender, are all irrelevant. She is a beautiful skillful human being! Hope success doesn’t destroy her!
PeaceFan1 God bless her
Congrats to you Ms Osaka you played excellent tennis it's unfortunate that you had to endure the controversial decision of the umpire . enjoy your victory and I wish you great success in the future
@@eme1286 wow you guys who are pretending to be supportive of Ms Osaka I see right through you all lol I predict when Serena finally retires as the greatest female tennis player of all time and Ms Osaka takes over the reigns as a black woman your racist hate will be directed at her. But guess what she is prepared and ready
DAM TALK ABOUT HER SHE WON NOT SERENA
its news, they want more and more views so they would talk about the controversy
EXACTLY SMH THEY SAID SERENAS NAME ABOUT 20 TIMES
We'll talk Naomi the next 10 years. We'll talk Serena maybe 10 more weeks.
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly!!!
Ask her about her. This interview is sad.
Thank you!
Agree. These old ladies are phoney, but ratings are more important. So they need to keep Serena at the top of the interview.
They did at the beginning but we all knew where it was going
Thank you
nicholas A (
Takes notes everyone. Humility at its finest.
You didn't need to apologise! You won! Congratulations... Enjoy your moment!
Yep, she should have been like Larry White on the Simpsons: "You people make me sick!".
I hate it when people say someone "came out of nowhere"! She didn't come out of nowhere, she's being somewhere honing her skills. I find it insulting.
I get what you are saying. She was an "overnight success" after probably 10 years of very, hard work. But, it is true that hardly anyone had heard of her until recently.
@@johngarry1238 I just think there's a better way to refer to someone as a newbie.
Like it's like they haven't even watched the whole US Open she's been dominating
Yeah that is insulting if taken out of contest like you did, she clearly said she looks arrived out of nowhere ''for people who don know tennis so well'' ,which is a very true statement. I dont know tennis so well and i had never heard of her. And many other people as well.
So very true. It would have been wonderful to have learned more about HER during her first post US Open interview. Instead, most of the questions were about Serena.
Interviewers are aweful. Ask her about her win, her process and her familys joy, not about serena. Sometimes the interviewers are totally useless
Its called Narrative that's what the media wants and they ask questions to try to push that Narrative.
Regimeshifts that’s like mostly all they talked about
Sometimes..?
I’m glad, the drama was too much, this isn’t about Serena, this is about her. Let ESPN blab about Serena’s meltdown, Naomi is staying in her lane and she won.
That is because savannah guthrie is should be fired so bad interview....she wouldn’t let go the Serena Williams thing and Savannah was put in her place by omarosa
As the crowd began booing, one could clearly see it inpacted her instantly and like a ton of rocks. Her body language shifted 180 degrees and when she began pulling down her cap and the tears streaming down her cheek, my heart broke and I honestly began crying too.
Such innocense and pureness. TRUE CHAMPION
She looks like she’s really tired of the Serena questions. 💀
Agree...only in America. Not a fan of the Media
I definitely would
issa mynista I think that’s the reason, why she’s getting invited to all these interviews... Ellen did the same, a quick congratulations of 1 min & like rest of the show was about what happened on court!
No need for apologies young Queen. There is more there is room on the thrown. We are here to support and lift you up. Parents job well done👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Are you american? You misspelling throne made me puke my guts out a little
@@retarded4527 this comment has me so dead
The way women handle sportsmanship is a turn off. It's the reason I don't watch female sports. You guys are vicious to your fellow females instead of helping one another. Anyway, I appreciate your comment. Women need to support and lift one another.
say what?
Sharon Brooks true indeed love
Her win was so overshadowed by Serena’s little outburst
No wonder she wears a tutu. Spoiled little girl having a tantrum.
Little?
i am a Serena big fun but that day she disappointed me so much ! i was hurt for Naomi who actually played so high level that Serena was loosing and she did not want to accept the defeat ! I think Serena learned a lesson right after the match and congratulated Naomi but the damage on her character was huge !
I feel bad for Naomi. In her dreams she probably thought of cheering and happiness. But the drama, and booing turned it into a sad moment she wasn’t expecting.
Luke Colenutt Yep. All because of a sore loser. Such a shame.
That's true but i wont be that sad if im going home with 4 million dollars .
MARY HARTMAN, MARY HARTMAN. Lol. Good.
MARY HARTMAN, MARY HARTMAN Williams is a pitiful human. I expected nothing less. Smh.
Really b/c I've only seen Serena as nothing but gracious. Did you hear her talk to the referee. She was simply reasoning with him and she disagreed. When she got frustrated on the court she did something that was fine-worthy. Not worthy of being called a pitiful human. Have you ever played sports at her level in front of millions? Never been frustrated?
You see how humble the young lady is? Class act! Love her❤️
She is Japanese. Japanese people are very humble.
mezxo Anen❣️🙏🏼
Tanmoy Saikia she’s also Haitian
Well she's Japanese
Tanmoy Saikia they say she grew up in a Haitian household after leaving Japan at 3 yrs old. I’d say she got values from both sides. She’s both Haitian AND Japanese. Don’t do that, there are clear negative undertones to your comment. You should have just let the original poster’s nice comment stand as is. Also, Naomi would correct you like she’s done others and say no I’m Japanese & Haitian. Stop being so divisive & let people be people.
Most of the questions about Serena!!! Can’t believe it.
well believe it. it has just been said to 1.3 million people.
I can believe it!!!! I didn't even know who this girl was ...but I know who Serena is...but congrats to her..she did win.
Because they were trying to trick Naomi into saying something bad about Serena, but Naomi wasn't having any of it.
People Evil what a stupid comment
SL Music seriously, you can’t believe it.
Take a lesson... THIS is how a Champion carries themselves. The US Open Crowd behaved deplorably.
What a respectful young lady she is by not talking bad about her idol Serena. I don't think it's necessary here and she will be part of the new generation of great tennis players. She's the one to watch!
i just want to give her the biggest hug
This is sad. Talk to her about why she loves Tennis...her favorite music....this sucks but Naomi you did a great job anyway.
Agree
Whats Naomi backwards?
What an amazing superstar. So happy for her ❤️
Its a transformer you know a dragman no doubt
Black&Japanese!!!!!
I hope Serena loses all of her endorsements. She lied about the coaching; smashed her racquet and called Ramos a thief. The only thief was Serena stealing this beautiful moment from this beautiful young woman. Naomi didn't come out of nowhere - she destroyed Serena in Miami earlier this year and had her number. She was up 6-2 over Serena who then lost it. Turning it into a women's right issue is a vast stretch. Ramos has called put men players for far less - do a search on "Djokovic and Ramos" on YT.
Love Japanese culture, we can learn a lot from her.. now look at that Barack woman Serena Williams 🤦🏻♂️ typical Barack losers played victim mentality politics 🤣🤣🤣
I follow the tour and my wife and I have always disliked Osaka (she can bug). As a #1 Serena fan since 1997 I couldn't stand her beating Serena with Sasha as her coach 😠.
I stood with my hero even
when Serena said she would shove a tennis ball down the lineswomans F******* throat. I didn't even bat an eye through ANY of her controversies.
She's beautiful.. Inside and out.
Smh...
He’s just givin props
Stop hating
T Mayo JUST LIKE YOUR PARENTS DONT WANT YOU.
Shes average in looks but seems nice.. I think your just thirsty
nasty
she's ugly bro.
Naomi you handled this most unfortunate situation with a grace and humbleness.THIS WAS HER DREAM TO PLAY HER IDOL SERENA AT THE US OPEN FINAL. Sadly, Serena, the crowd and the disgraceful comment by Katrina Adams "Perhaps this was not the finish we were looking for today". utterly spoiled Naomi's moment. Can you imagine? Naomi just achieved her dream and she should have been celebrated, not booed. Even with all those insulting comments and bad behavior by Serena, the crowd and Katrina Adams, Naomi apologized for winning because she knew if she were in the stand she would've been rooting for Serena. I am glad to see so many Americans and non-Americans applauding for Naomi's grace. So THANK YOU! Can someone please tell me name(s) of Grand Slam champions from the past who won unexpectedly against the crowd's favorite player and ended up being treated this poorly and yet somehow managed to be so humble and still respectful towards the crowd and the sore loser? Serena is one of the players known to have bad temper on court. She used the F word towards one of the line's people at the US open 2009, and got fined for that. This umpire called her for verbal abuse because Serena kept berating him and wouldn't let go. No, Serena didn't use curse words but it was how Serena kept verbally abusing the umpire "You owe me an apology" " Say you are sorry" " You will never work on one of matches". I don't think I was only one who was cringing as Serena acted like a bully. When it was all said and done at the press conference, Serena had turned this into gender inequality issue. Serena, if you act even remotely like how classy Chris Evert was, situations like this would never happen in the first place. You are a legend and little kids look up to you so please practice self restrain a little.I'm Japanese and we were taught to be humble and gracious from childhood. Her mother clearly kept the tradition. Naomi even thanked the crowd for watching and thanked Serena for playing and took a bow. HOW SO JAPANESE OF HER!
BTW: Naomi completely outplayed Serena, just saying.
That comment by Katrina Adams made me so angry. "Perhaps this was not the finish we were looking for today" .
Then even before Serena asked the crowd to stop booing, she said to the crowd " we will get through this together"
Once again, making it all about her .
Naomi said Serena told her she was proud of her . Naomi still loves and respect Serena a great deal. The two ladies do not hate each other . I think Naomi fans should let this go because clearly she is not upset with Serena. When woman have a child , it can have them very emotional . I forget the medical term for it. Now lets not forget that Naomi has lost to Karolina Pliskova .
Tak O Serena was Dealing with racism the whole game and WE ALL KNOW THAT. Also Naomi identities as black.
@@jasmineartis5754 Ohhh go away. Serena wouldn't know what racism is, she is an elite top level sports star and has been since 14 years of age, she has had sponsors and fans kissing her feet for most of her life. There was no racism in this game, it was about whether or not her coach was using hand signals, which he admitted at the end of the game he did. The Umpire Carlos Ramos is Portuguese - so colored. Basically came down to Serena acting like a spoilt brat and you have completely tried to turn a temper tantrum for losing a point to Naomi into a race issue. Pathetic.
@@ryancarper595 i think they meant "whole game" as since she has being playing in this type of sport because we all know the hate she received in her career. Non one can deny it. The original comment is implying that throughout her career she has always been the bad one like make it make sense pls
She felt the need to apologize...... for winning .......what had we done to her...... I never thought This would ever happen..... but ok .... where is the logic people......?
Jasson Martinez yea that’s weird she shouldn’t feel the need to apologize, but she seems like the people pleaser type lol
Thats that Japanese culture boi
She has lived in the US for 17 years lol.. she's more American than Japanese
Manuel Rabelo
If mum is full Japanese, the kids are carrying a Japanese culture where ever they live. Our kids are the same.
@@bluekiwi1463 her surname is Japanese as well so the father is probably Japanese as well so it just adds more validity to the statement
Osaka is the champ && all the media wants to talk about was Serena Williams? Geez.. let Osaka shine! Give her her moment.
BLANSTAR21 it's just like the kardashians where they all want to just talk about Kim and destiny's child where they all want to talk about bey
This is what happens when you steal games from people. You also steal the moment from the person that won.
Giving her her moment was made IMPOSSIBLE by the umpire. Not the media's fault.
The umpire was doing his job. Look up the rules, that's why they have them.
Say it ain't so
Serena, serena, serena. Cant they ask about her life instead?
Lol that gets views
Bruce Wayne exactly.
if you clicked on the video than clearly you were interested in the topic
No because social justice;)
American media fixated on Americans. It's always been the same. The olympics are far worse. They pass up an interview with a gold medal winner from another country to get the bronze winning American's point of view.
Hi Naomi, Serena.. . Serena... Serena... Serena.. Serena.. Serena. Interview over.
MsBillygrey I
You obviously haven't read the title, what did you expect.
naomi`s interview xD
MsBillygrey 😂😂😂
Hahaha 😂
I love her authenticity and how she doesn't pander to what people want her to say. Twenty Year Old Grand Slam Champion. Say her name: Naomi Osaka, the unforgettable.
This is only the beginning for her too
Naomi Osaka, The Sweetheart!
She got a gimme.
Jordy Schol she raised in Florida around her Haitian side
Serena Williams won her at the age of 17
Love from INDIA..Congratulations OSAKA..HAVE A GREAT CAREER.Be like this for ever.May the fame cannot steal your innocence and simplicity. Maintain it throughout your tennis career. The sky is the limit.
Horrible interview by Hoda and Savanna. So much more that they could have talked about but instead spent the entire interview talking about Serina.
They were trying to get her to backup Serena's story about sexism as a reason for her loss. It was sickening.
I loved watching Serena play. But Naomi is the champion and will definitely defeat Serena again and again and again.
When the empire steals games it also steals the winners moment. It puts an * next to their win
I'm sorry but it's a bit ridiculous to think they wouldn't ask her about it. Taylor Swift won a Grammy but Kanye interrupted It's stupid to think she wouldn't have gotten asked about how she felt as it is dumb to think it wouldn't come up now. Putting your head in the sand solves nothing. But I guess it makes the Serena haters feel better about themselves for some reason.
It's "umpire" not empire. He didn't steal anything, he was doing his job according to the rules. Please look them up and don't be ignorant.
She's so humble it's great to see her. Can't wait to cheer her on in other matches.
Seriously though Savanah why are you asking her that. She played a great match and Serena will regroup and win more slams. But this one was Naomi's.
prettimiggi agreed
Serena is Done..Naomis Time is Now..
lmao that's hilarious. You should try stand-up.
i agree...what happened are two different things...she won so let her have her time...now what happened to serena is a totally different issue..they were being rasist toward her regardless if she won or not..they were wrong.
prettimiggi Savannah always asks annoying questions...
Naomi now I know why you dont do interviews...the INTERVIEW was supposed to be about you not Serena...sorry
Good point!
Thank you
She gets to win Grand Slam tournaments by losing ... I think I get it.

Do not apologize!!!!!!! You WON. I understand why she is emotional but Naomi you need to hold your head up high and be proud. Serena is a champion but she can not win every game!!!!
She has very right to feel uncertain about her win. There were bad calls made and it sucks because she deserved a
fair win. They both deserved a fair match and ref took that away from them.
Indeed!...Serena got what she's been deserving all these years...her attitude was totally unacceptable for a person with her status as a tennis champion and legend!...

1000% i agree with you 👍👍

Such a beautiful young lady. Keep being humble I’m a new fan now. I seen how you spoke to Coco you are the best.
So beautiful, young and innocent.

Bigtruckseriesreview Motorsports you cant project yourself into her.
Totally agree with you!
Doubt it
If she stays strong she will do just fine.
Stop asking questions about Serena's meltdown. Talk about Naomi's accomplishments.
angelthman Serena didn't have a meltdown she is known for rallying back in 2nd set this match was given to this girl. The sad part is that she didn't need any help from the ref
How does Serena known for rallying back have anything to do her having a meltdown? Bad logic. She did have a meltdown. Watch the video.
angelthman the ref got in her head big time
Uhm, you're still not explaining how it's not a meltdown.
Never apologize for playing your heart out and winning cause you might never have that one chance again!
"Coming out of nowhere" !! Apparently the interviewers didn't even know that Naomi won Indian Wells earlier this year. The "fifth slam", WTA premium5.
Exactly! And to follow up saying she's been working for this since she was 3 years old. That's not coming out of nowhere.... Congratulations Naomi! 👏👏👏
Stupid mainstream hosts pretending they know anything about the players.
Wrong questions! Do your homework!
Quite insulting to say “out of nowhere” wtf
She said, "for people who don't know tennis as well as others..." Why all the hatred? Everyone doesn't follow tennis.
She’s everything Serena isn’t. Thoughtful, respectful, kind and classy. This is the type of person we should admire in America. I realize she didn’t want to win this way, but it’s of no fault of her own and she shouldn’t be made to feel bad about it in any way. Quite the opposite. Shame on those who made her feel guilty about winning fairly and achieving!
Mr. Sotack thank you
You sound stupid
You're so wrong about Serena! You don't even know her so don't judge her!
@@paregraham2388 Well we have seen her unsportsmanlike and aggressive behaviour for years whenever she is losing. So we have a good idea of what she's like.
@@meltedsnowman9637 people change though so don't hold them accountable for their past actions. Yes she may have been aggressive but she had a reason this time why she acted out
The 🇭🇹 Haitian-🇯🇵 Japanese 🎾 tennis 🌟 star Naomi Osaka is going to be the next face of women's 🎾tennis. What's better than for Serena to hand over the torch to another black woman? Osaka has proved she is able to carry it.
Ehh they'd say this about alot of young tennis stars
She got to win some more.
Thank you for recognizing both sides of her family. Unlike many black people who try to erase her Japanese side, or the media who try to erase her Haitian side.
@Arnold 0 doesnt matter. Dessalines' blood flows her veins. That is sufficient.
mike b its not sensitive..the media doesn't like to acknowledge her Haitian side because the nations of this world are still "sensitive" that a black nation killed their oppressors and freed themselves from enslavement and they were the first and also inspired many rebellions throughout the US..and for that they were sanctioned to the point they were broke and currently impoverished, but it will never changed history..the Haitians kicked the French off their land with their heads cut off..THIS is why her Haitian side isn't acknowledged..because of history.
Congratulations Naomi Osaka,such alovely and very humble lady,i will start watching tennis again because of you
These liberal biased nuts are trying to create news and Naomi didn’t fall for it. Naomi’s honesty is very evident, because she has been interviewed few times now and her answers didn’t change. No matter how they are presented to her, her answers are the same. Hope she doesn’t become another arrogant brad like the one she just defeated. Do you see? When good character is present, nationally, race, skin color, gender, are all irrelevant. She is a beautiful skillful human being! Hope success doesn’t destroy her!
Exactly,well said E me
As a Chinese, I like her for her calmness and humility and so proud that she represents the virtue of east Asian culture. Very different from the antagonist, arrogant character of Serena. Very intelligent answers not to give any more things to the media. Best of luck to you Osaka! Lovely to see some fresh new face and she completely deserves the title. But in the future, don't apologize for things you didn't do! Warmest regards from Shanghai, China.
why say "as a Chinese" I am sick of identity politics
Japanese maybe, Chinese, not so much. Case in point, when Chinese swimmers
clue: don't start a sentence with "as a black / Chinese etc. Just say as a human, we don't care what group you identify as.
Naomi is just a humble gifted tennis player. Just happened to have Haitian/Japanese parents.
@@joshuavd5194 it’s relevant because ms naomi is from Japan/ is also asian, so the commenter just wanted to give gratitude for upholding asian politeness in such a stressful situation
I guess this is just the beginning of many more Grand Slam successes of this very talented young lady. I like her attitude, very humble and speaks very gentle...Congratulations!
Still too young for grand slams.
She got caught up on the hype and was Serena's bad hair day.
Even though she doesn't speak Japanese that well, her maneurisms and actions are very Japanese. Humble , shy, unnecessarily apologetic, respectful to her predecessors and crying suddenly. She actually bowed to Serena when apologizing.
fairy princess stop being ignorant
@@ilike9368 you shouldn't say it.
@@whatyouwerethinking998 Its true, cant see her winning Australian open in jan next yr.
See you in Australia Serena, get your crown bk.
Naomi's Victory was overshadow by the Serena Controversy.
Sums it right up. No more to add.
It's a shame they even brought it up, this girl deserves a celebration.
These fake chics wanted drama and Naomi had none for them. I love her mentality. Shes very talented and deserved this Win. Now lets focus on HER and not the DRAMA surrounding Serena... Serena shouldnt have even been up there with her... I hate the media!
Glenn Cooperwood They always put the winner and the runner up together,even in track and field.
Come on it’s their job to ask questions.
They annoyed me too. I agree that she did not feed into the drama and that made me happy
SHES A BREATH OF FRESH AIR, I WILL ALWAYS FOLLOW HER CAREER NOW, SHE PLAYED GREAT
Terrible interviewing... But what a darling Naomi Osaka is... Welcome to the big time...
Awesome, the new face of tennis, the new face of champions. Compose, humble. respectful and a true fighter. Keep going Naomi.
you crazy
Troll
Gtfoh bum
It’s so so sad that what should be one of the most amazing moments and memories in her entire life has been absolutely tarnished, overshadowed, and ruined by the garbage and drama.
Serena Williams "took a knee" during Naomi Osaka's proud moment.
Dialectical Monist. For women's rights he'll yea
Actually Serena has probably enshrined this victory in tennis history. Does anyone actually care about tennis without the controversy?
It's because Osaka wasn't supposed to win and everybody knows that the win was stolen from Serena.
@@kokoniqueful you fool
Her personality is Japanese more than American. It’s quite nice
Dom Wings you can tell she’s spent some time in Japan. Her mannerisms and the way she carries herself is very Japanese. I believe she was raised between the US and Japan.
She’s Haitian and Japanese
She''s not American. But she was raised in America. Which is surprising that she carries her Japanese mannerism's so well.
She's Haitian not American.
Im
CONGRATULATIONS TO NAOMI OSAKA!!!! You out played Williams and you DESERVE this win. Don't let anyone try to steal that from you. So Proud of you.
The humility of this young woman is AMAZING! Go get em 💪🏾🙏🏾
@Michael Robins well, you're wrong about Serena and what does your comment have to do with my comment? Life would be easier if people stuck to the topic.
A splendid display of humanity , talent and grace. A beautiful young woman. Go go girl! From a new fan from Singapore
Can we all stop talking about Serena ? It's Naomi Osaka who won the tournament fair and square !
barkah ibrahim no, you know we love those Williams
Amen
Hiding Williams behavior won't change it. Her and Kaepernick can kneel together now.
@@zzzzz-k7t 😁 it's her first talk show yet the main theme is about Serena .. yes I think you all do love the Williams a lot
What a win and what a nice person. So sorry she had to suffer that awful temper tantrum from Serena.
Classy young women with a big game!!!!!!
Congrats Naomi!
Class doesn’t come with age or experience. It’s from true character. Congratulations Naomi. Rise above.
Very well stated!
This hardworking , humble girl, full of grace is every parent's dream daughter! Congrats Naomi.
Let's not Forget that Naomi's father (Leonard "San" François) is HAITIAN. So, she's that as well as Japanese.
(The media needs to) QUIT RIDING ONE SIDE!
Agreed. Nothing wrong with acknowledging both side. I guess Naomi's polite and sweet demeanor is attributed to her Japanese mom because it's well known that Japanese people are known as the most polite people in our society today.
She said herself that she represents Japan doe...
She plays for Japan 🤷🏽♀️
There are polite people in all ethnicities, cultures and nationalities
WELL THEY CAME FROM DARK HU MANS TOO
Really felt bad for Naomi. It was her night & she should've grabbed all the attention but sadly that was not the case. Well played Naomi. Enjoy your victory.
Tbf she is receiving 10x more attention because of the controversy
Naomi ... an example of handling something with grace, elegance, and humility. Well done and congratulations!
It's called proper upbringing.
Dear Naomi, Please do not let these phoney people create a FAKE THRONE for you!!! They will throw you under the bus, later! Take a lesson from Serena....you see how they treated her during her melt down! Just do what you do and play your best! I wish you continued success! Stay clear of the press and all the rest!!!
It was unreal how serena was praised while being such a brat. Unbelievable.
Mary Martha “meltdown” really? Keep the angry black women stereotype up
Totally agree
Frostmourne shut up, you’re an imbecile
Frostmourne it’s not about being a victim.. or race. You people only bring that up. Only because you know it’s the truth.
Clearly her parents brought her up with respect,dignity and class wow 😮
She comes from Japanese culture. That's pretty much how they role.
+Sport Patrice
"she's Haitian her dad thought her how to play when she was leavimg in America"
Then I guess her dad taught her gratitude and hard work and her mom taught her respect.
She is a true champion 🏆
So innocent. She will be a great addition as an ambassador to the sports world! God Bless Her!
Smart girl dont fall for the setup for them dont comment
Ty Mccoy I can feel them snaking around
I think the saddest part about this is the fact that she worked all her life, so hard and dedicatedly. She wins a grand slam after all the work put in and she can't even enjoy or even be happy about winning A FREAKING GRAND SLAM. You can tell she's so broken about it in the interview.
she looks and sounds like a CHAMP. congrats girl
What does a champ look and sound like again?
Naomi Osaka.
Besides naomi who looks and sounds like that?
Justin Fisher Hey Trollstein!!!
Americans should be more like this woman. She's a true athlete and an amazing role model.
I agree 100% Especially my race. They think all blacks are loud and disrespectful but not all of us. Thank God I was raised more around whites!
Lol I doubt that. They have Trump as president which speaks volumes of the kind of people they are. Serena threw a tantrum and played victim and the USTA president had the nerve to call her a "role model" . Arrogant Americans. So typical.
she's Haitian you guys her father is Haitian
Christopher Smith I agree completely. Osaka was so understanding and kind and respectful and Serena was so disgustingly opposite. It’s such a shame that we in America have such an ugly representative in the sport.
Austin Walker dang the self hate is strong in you
She seems so kind open and honest congrats to her and all her continued success
These harpies are why mainstream media is dying. Good riddance.
Harpies lmfaoooo
Harpies or herpies?
@@justsendmelocation5068 harpies
Couldn't agree more. What an awful example of why identity politics is just pure concentrated evil. Meanwhile, these two twits were the types of idiots in the crowd that were booing. What stupid questions to ask her. Osaka has had her well-deserved win turned into a mockery because Williams acted like a spoiled brat while a bunch of Orwellian white-guilt marxists couldn't handle reality. That day marks one of the saddest days in US Tennis.
The Mainstream media is making sure we don't get a real choice at truth through you tube, facebook or twitter...This is the plan in effect: Swamp the alternatives with their outlets, or philosophical twins and cow the owners of youtube and etc. into compliance...You'll have to subscribe to get it elsewhere with ease; and then they know you and your viewer preferences.
Naomi has a very nice disposition. Very nice girl.
What does your last remark mean about if she was all black. Are you saying all blacks behave like Serena. I assure you there is bad behaviors among all races including yourself. Do not get me wrong. I do not agree with how Serena acted but your behavior is no better with your rude comment. Have great day.
@Conservative Hamster All blacks do not behave that way. I have see many other races having bad behaviors in public and on television. So, you cannot say all blacks. How you act is not where you grew up, it is not if you are from a mixed race either, it is how your parents raised you. You know as well as I do that people in the limelight with influence act a fool in public because people will forget what they did wrong if they like them. U.S. society base people on popularity instead of looking at people based on their character and integrity. Peace be with you.
Good girl. Too bad for the interviewers, she kept too cool for their expections.
She's intelligent. Instead of jumping to attack and blame Serena, she just explains she misunderstood the boos. I'm glad she understands the crowd was booing the umpire and not the players.
But the umpire was absolutely right. So that is a question what this stupid NYC audience was booing at.
YES Comm. Com. glad she knew it
She is sad because the SJW’s got to her and her family 😔
dear naomisan 'the crowd didnt boo you' they booed the chair umpire. : )
I guess that's what Serena was telling her. She was hugging Naomi and she whispered in her ear and Naomi's face lit up.
A Japanese sista ? Wow , she is beautiful and classy . Thanks Mom !
Her dad Haitian trained her so only her mom gets credit?
@@nique21294
Apparently her politeness and humbleness is also given credit to her mom, as if the dad did nothing. They both raised her and I believe they both should be given credit for her politeness and humbleness
She's Japanese Haitian!! Please get it straight. Stop taking away her nationality when she is constantly saying it!!
Kingston few same thing
Marshall Smith And her father is Haitian!
