So are we supposed to believe this is the first time she and her coach have resorted to cheating to win a tournament?

No, it's common knowledge that it occurs regularly. With that being said, it's a stupid rule and should be removed from professional tennis..............

The girl that won is American.

She has dual citizenship, American and Japanese, I think.

What a self-entitled loser, now $17,000 poorer and hopefully out some advertising contracts. Maybe Nike will pick her up as fitting their new corporate identity of disrespect.

In tennis scoreboards, there’s a little Japanese flag next to her name. She’s registered by the Japan Tennis Association, despite also holding American citizenship.

Caught in a lie about cheating. If her career isn’t already over, it should be. Mean and Ugly. Ban her. Advertisers should drop her.

"I don't cheat, I have a daughter"

She should be fined at least $100,000.00 just for saying that.

I picture her more as a trash-talking linebacker.

Maybe Nike and Kaepernick can help her.

She and the audience were absolutely disgusting. The poor Naomi was in tears from the boos and actually apologized. Osaka showed US what class and humility is all about.

Have you ever seen another female pro player who looks like her? Even her own sister is built like the average pro player.

She should have been suspended mid match, thereby foregoing all winnings and not allowed to compete for a year.

I think she is trying to play both the race card & the MOMMY card.

Maybe she now thinks she has a ‘two-fer’ working in her behalf.

Roid rage with a very young child can be dangerous for the child.

Such an ugly comment. Reflects very poorly on good people who post here.

I bet that little judge was a bit unnerved when he saw that furious mass descend on him.

They should’ve issued a Taser to Ramos before the bout.

Now I would’ve paid a Dollar to see THAT!

It is not a stupid rule. On court coaching is allowed for Womens Tennis Assoc only, in tournaments except for Grand Slam events. A player who is talented enough to be competing in a Grand Slam should have the skill and ability to problem solve on their own.
