Impressive dominance Naomi! She’s of Haitian-Japanese descent, and holds dual legal citizenship in Japan and the USA. Today’s win was reminiscent of a 19 year old girl we saw in late 1990’s by the name of Serena Williams. With amazing quickness, the best serve in women’s tennis and the mental focus of a champ, Ms. Osaka should be #1 for at least a decade.

Osaka has tremendous potential, but she is not ready to be #1. The Open is only the second tournament she has ever won. And her record has been lackluster. She matches up well with Serena whom she has beaten twice.

Let’s hope she builds on this win. A very humble and refreshing athlete. It was very sad to see her almost feel ashamed that she won given the incessant booing from the fans.
