MELBOURNE, Australia — Serena Williams walked off the court after her latest so-close-yet-so-far bid for a 24th Grand Slam title ended with a loss to Naomi Osaka at the Australian Open(Semifinals)......
Once again, Williams played well enough to get to the closing days of a major tournament. And once again, she couldn’t quite get the job done in order to add one more Grand Slam trophy to her collection of 23 and equal Margaret Court for the most in tennis history.

Also, for the most part, Osaka played like Sh!t. She tried very hard to gift Williams a 3-0 lead in the first set and had 8 double faults.
The only plus for Williams(39) is that she has managed decrease the size of her butt by 50%, but she is still way too slow for the top players. Some shots she didn't even make a stab for.
Williams lost in straight sets 6/3, 6/4.
Osaka will now face 25 yr old American Jennifer Brady in the final.
I’ll be rooting for Brady.
She’s very emotional ... Almost like her hormone levels are out of whack or something ...
She’s 39 and she’s still ok but she’s having a hard time coming to grips with the fact there are just better players then her now...Osaka could play her with one arm tied behind her back and still have a chance
Each year she looks more like Michelle.
I'm no fan of Osaka ether, who's half Japanese but still lectures Americans about their racism (whereas there is no racism in Japan right?!). Glad she won but it was merely the lesser of two evils.
P.S. They both need to lose some weight!
She reduced it by 50%?! That butt barely fit in the stadium last night!
What hormones might those be, Hmmmm????

The way to beat Williams is to make her run: either she won't get to the shots or she will run out of gas as the match progresses.
But.... and here is Serena's big but.... she simply overpowers a lot of her opponents and they can't do that.
Yes. That is one amazing irony. A Japanese lecturing others about racism.
She may be gross and sweaty but I bet she knows the difference between "then" and "than".
Sounds like there’s something wrong with you.
LOL!
As a great sportswriter once said
There's nothing so formful as tennis, and nothing more formful than tennis except women's tennis.
“ She’s 39 and she’s still ok but she’s having a hard time coming to grips with the fact there are just better players then her now...Osaka could play her with one arm tied behind her back and still have a chance”.

Yeh, it’s sad when a sports star plays past their prime and doesn’t know it’s time to retire.
39 is old for singles tennis.
She’s genetically stockier than Venus, and she’s had a child.
It’s extremely hard to out train a poor diet.
It’s even harder at 39 y/o.
Maybe she shouldnt have thrown away that second place trophy in her huge second home during that interview. Jinx. Her trophy room is impressive. She has so many in that house she didnt even know what ones she had.
Do Serena and Michelle have the same "doctor"?
Well, when representatives from the governing body of a sport show up to test for performance enhancing drugs, the innocent person locks herself in her panic room and calls ... not the police ... her agent, who obtains a doctor’s note to get her excused. All quite innocent.
I think she should have to play 5 sets against a man. Equal sports and all that....
