I have been saying this. There's incredible depth. That's why I don't like it when people compare players in the 21st century to the 20th century. They are completely different eras.
Very happy for Naomi, but it's quite frustrating that these 2 extremely talented women have to play each other so early. Both have the talent to be in the top 5. They have both underachieved, especially Garcia. I know Naomi has 4 slams, but looking at how well she can play, she deserves way more. I just hope both can make good use of the next few years and achieve greater things
Yeah, it’s always crazy in the women’s game seeing these great players getting matched up in the first round due to ranking (Gauff/Kenin another example from this tourney)
Naomi's improvement is her return which was terrible last year and her movement. Also second serve. She varied it despite the double faults. Dark horse for aus open
Unfortunately someone had to lose. I truly Love both Caroline and Naomi. Sadly they had to play each other in the first round. Congrats to Naomi, and sorry to Caroline.
Avec Naomi, que de la fidélité, de l'intégrité. Elle est restée égale à elle-même, ne pas s'écarter , vouloir à tout prix, poursuivre sa marche en avant sur les brisées de son idole de toujours. À apprécier, l'ouverture du tennis à tout un groupe, toute une génération, un taf énorme des 2 soeurs , les retombés, en terme d'inspiration du " Goat. Congrat Naomi pour ton humilité et surtout ton discernement. Poursuivez le lègue de concert avec la soeur : Coco.
Yes, pure power alone is not enough to defeat her. She will need to adapt her shots to handle potential slices, drop shots, and moon balls. I know that Naomie doesn’t have much variety in her game, so her strategy will likely involve hitting deep shots consistently while avoiding unforced errors.
@chay2033 yes I am foreseeing a lot of slices and drop shots. She has to be prepared for it. I think once she gets through that second round it's going to boost her confidence to lift that trophy.
It is not easy for working mothers in Tennis. It is a grueling sport. Osaka defeated not only her opponent but the expectations. Congratulations Osaka.
Love both these players (who played each other so many times last year Naomi was calling Caro her “work bestie”), and rooting for Naomi through a brutal draw. She has a focus and confidence and fire I haven’t seen in a long time, and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen it quite with this kind of vibe. Fingers and toes crossed she can build on it
Improving agility is such a difference for her game. I haven't seen Osaka moving this way for years. She needs to keep working on that to be able to defeat Sabalenka, Gauff, Swiatek, etc. She might make the quarter finals, if she keeps playing this way.
Two of my favorite players. Naomi has certainly come back. I still think she needs to move better on the court, anticipate, and be a go-getter. Serve could be a little more powerful- mix it up a bit.
Thanks Australian Open for giving us all highlights, your so special even united cup we watched live matches here on utub keep it up all the way from 🇺🇬 Uganda. Congratulations Naomi for your win 👏👏👏👏 and well played too Garcia tough match but keep strong Queen.
I think that may have been the game plan for facing Garcia, maybe Patrick's tactic for this particular player, telling her to be more measured and more patient.... potentially
Once again, Australian Open is the best slam for giving us highlights. Everyone say thank you AO!
This is the bare minimum . The other GS are just bad and dont let me talk about WTA and their 720p videos

Wta has become so deep. No easy matches from round one. All players are athletic and hitters. Wow

@@kofipokuantwi-boateng5446modern game became deep by 2000. But still u could have easy first few rounds till 2008-2009. But now no easy round
Super fun to watch wta nowadays
you joking? pls tell me you work for wta or u just started watching tennis after covid
@@hg7269 nostalgia fans can't digest that sports evolve . So they stuck to using old age nostalgic insults
Naomi's forehand crosscourt in third set was game changer. So brutal. Bullied garcia

Love this
Can't agree more
She deserves it when she wins. A boatload of competition now.
Osaka vs Garcia, Bencic vs Ostapenko, Sabalenka vs Stephens and Gauff vs Kenin...tough match-ups in round 1 of a slam.
Osaka looks to be in better shape. She has more active feet. She will definitely be one of the ones I'll be rooting for this year.
Isn't that the case! She looks beautiful out there.
Osaka is unpredictable, don’t root for her if you don’t want to be disappointed
@ - I've been behind her thru thick and thin. From the git-go.
@@Blasphemismsame
The first round is the toughest one. Glad for Naomi! Some hesitation between games but she is already in the second round.
Great level for a first round match. Both of them were hitting some insane shots
It is a bit strange to see a first round match featuring Osaka and Garcia, and in addition to that none of them seeded at this Australian Open.
Congrats Naomi! Two good players and fun to watch this match. Keep it going Naomi! I'm liking your come back!!!
Naomi has a really good coach ! Which is so important !
yes, but I'm perplexed as to why he didn't "fix" Coco's forehand and serve.
Would looove for Osaka to have another deep run here. She has a really tough draw, but still has the game to beat the top women.
Osaka’s shoes r nice

Can it be the last time we see these 2 players in the first round I'm sure it's frustrating even for them
Tough Match And a very good one at that well done Naomi and she is capable of beating Muchova she wont forget that US Open defeat time to lock in Now

Tres bon, vrei mon.
When Naomi's head space is clear, she can win it all. This was a very difficult 1st round. 😮
You are absolutely right, when she stays out of her head, she can beat anyone on any tour, in my opinion.
She got wrapped up in the George Floyd/social justice protests at the insistence of her dad and rapper BF. Her tennis has never been pure since.
Naomi played well. However, she will have to raise her level to win against Karolina. Karolina is going to have her running up and down that court.
Agreed I think the USO could repeat it she doesn’t hit through more
Yes, pure power alone is not enough to defeat her. She will need to adapt her shots to handle potential slices, drop shots, and moon balls. I know that Naomie doesn’t have much variety in her game, so her strategy will likely involve hitting deep shots consistently while avoiding unforced errors.

Did she win four grand slams with pure power alone ?. She's still the best hard court player on the WTA tour
Naomi is the only player I enjoy watching these days. Such a talent! And such good memories of watching her beat down Serena time and again!
I hope Naomi can win a 5th grand slam here 🙏✨
Good match and great sportsmanship by Garcia
Because she is from France.
first round no fare to Garcia or Osaka.
It is not easy for working mothers in Tennis. It is a grueling sport. Osaka defeated not only her opponent but the expectations. Congratulations Osaka.
No excuses if you dare to enter a tournament. Her biggest hinderance is her crazy dad and her rapper BF, turned her into a social justice nutcase.
Garcia is so underrated
Muchova next round would be Naomi & Mouratouglou's first test. maybe they should watch how Gauff has dominated Muchova through both power and variety
garcia needs a new coach i believe.she's a great player that needs to be push to excel
I agree
let's go Osaka !
Two superstars, no matter who wins...love them both
Only Naomi is superstar. Garcia isn't a superstar. U need multiple slams to become one
Love both these players (who played each other so many times last year Naomi was calling Caro her “work bestie”), and rooting for Naomi through a brutal draw.

I just love the way Naomi uses her legs. Her forehand is beautiful to watch.
Osaka got the extremely tough bracket. R1 Garcia R2 Muchova R3 Bencic R4 Gauff.... I wonder how far she can go... lol
Osaka me parece em muito boa forma... mais sequinha... jogando bem. ❤
GOATsaka is back
Osaka GOAT??😂😂
After the baby she was moving slow for about 2 years and I think but now she's back on track
I hope she keep playing like that.
Two of my favorite players. Naomi has certainly come back. I still think she needs to move better on the court, anticipate, and be a go-getter. Serve could be a little more powerful- mix it up a bit.
What’s Naomi’s shoe brand? I love her whatever she wears every game❤❤❤.
I root for both of them, can't really decide which one.
power plays💥
Naomi need to keep hitting behind Garcia it’s working
Bravo aux deux joueuses 🎾
loving the orange shoes!!
Thanks Australian Open for giving us all highlights, your so special even united cup we watched live matches here on utub keep it up all the way from 🇺🇬 Uganda. Congratulations Naomi for your win 👏👏👏👏 and well played too Garcia tough match but keep strong Queen.
Stay focused on on your game Naomi play your best ❤❤❤
naomi looking good an more fit! good luck!
So happy for naomi but she has to face muchova now 😢
This was an excellent match. We making tennis references on the podcast.
Super match.
Like to see Osaka do well as it’s good for womens game!
Tell me who won the match without telling me who won the match…
Australian Open You tube team: hold my beer…
🤔🤣
Bravo ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Naomi you look so beautiful & played like you meant it! Congratulations on your win! You looks so cute 🥰
Is Naomi keeps playing like she's playing if she reaches to the finals against Coco she will be Coco
Dommage pour CR !
NOs return and service is not as good as it was before!
Power Osaka ❤
Naomiiii🎉🎾🫶🏼
Good job Naomi.
OH LOOK WE KNOW WHO WON BECAUSE OF THE THUMBNAIL PHOTO
Missing serena 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
No one cares
Go Naomi,,,,
Go Osaka!
It feels like they are playing on some carpet.
Naomi I love you but but, that game should go up coz it can't beat the 3 best Women tennis player right now.
Osaka's pace seems to be down from her past. Ball doesn't have much pace. Wish her the best.
I think that may have been the game plan for facing Garcia, maybe Patrick's tactic for this particular player, telling her to be more measured and more patient.... potentially
She is playing with more spin. patrick did same to serena. Create openings and hit final big shot
🔥🔥🔥🤌🏾🤌🏾 back to France Garcia
COCO GAUFF 3.0 owed Caroline some payback as well🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Who thinks it’s unfair women only have to play best of 3 and get paid the same
go find something else to argue about
Sorry to see Osaka win.
