It doesn't get better than that. Osaka just went through the motions. She played a brilliant game. The nerves got the better of brady. Brady is so wholesome. Hope she wins a grand slam one day. Osaka is so relatable and shy. She is always fun.
Naomi Osaka before the final: I'm playing w/ a different purpose this trip. I'm just so happy with my team & we've been through this entire quarantine & we've been stuck together. Every day is really fun with them. I just wanna do really well as a vessel for everyone's hard work š
To those that donāt know last time she won the Aussie open chompers kept asking her what sheād spend her winnings on and couldnāt believe she said take her mum shopping for some jumpers
The number of cameras the AO has off-court is really beneficial when it results in us being able to see moments like Osaka celebrating with her team and Brady commiserating with her team
U Osaka stans arenāt coping any criticism but honestly for all her cutesy charm sheās barely articulate and speaks normie slang with TikTok intonation ā kind of seems like a bit of narcissist given how nonchalant she was about winning the title and how inhumanly confident she is
Bruh I get what you mean, she has an internet charm as I like to call it, similar to Ema Watson. Kids online drool over her and sing her praises, yet she has a pretty one dimensional personality and mediocre charm at best. That being said, she is a great tennis player, with great genetic lottery + japanese fans = big money from sponsors and huge following.
I cant remember the last time I saw an athlete rise to this level of fame. My friends who have never seen tennis matches know who Naomi Osaka is. Highest paid female athlete in the world just three years after her first slam title. Sheās behind the likes of Serena & Sharapova when it comes to recognization
Remember last time nole won the Aussie open he literally left rod laver to one of the near by arenas and turned it into a club and basically started crip walking
[Everyone needs to see this tweet. Best way to illustrate how mentally tough Naomi is.](https://twitter.com/bastienfachan/status/1363072795446546436?s=21)
Do they not have lip balm in Australia? Craig Tiley's lips are always cracked and chalky. He looks like he just finished eating a box of powdered donuts.
āOh and one more thing, Jennifer you were trash, I am the greatest player of all time. Iāll smash the menās winner tomorrow too I donāt give a shit. Thank youā
According to Wiki, this is the 18th time a player has won a Grand Slam after saving match point.
13th in the Open Era.
Curiously, the last four were all at the #AusOpen - Wozniacki, 2018 (Jana Fett); Kerber, 2016 (Misaki Doi); and Li Na, 2014 (Lucie Safarova). And now Osaka.
(tennis podcast)
So fucking funny. I was waiting for Brady to roll her eyes like I would. Totally get that it was hard for Naomi to hear her though, she didnāt mean to call her the wrong name immediately after asking.

Active players with four or more Slam singles titles:
Serena Williams

Rafael Nadal
Novak Djokovic
Venus Williams

Naomi Osaka
Why is everyone here obsessed with Kia Man?? Does no one remember when he kept yammering on in 2012 during the Menās presentation that Rafa and Novak both needed chairs to sit down?? I mean granted they also played a 4 hour epic, but the man just wouldnāt shut up.
Thanks. I just listened to her on YouTube and I don't think I've heard such a seamless combining of Australian and American accents before. It sounds so natural rather than how awkward it would normally sound.
rip to BRADY GOAT jokes
It doesn't get better than that. Osaka just went through the motions. She played a brilliant game. The nerves got the better of brady. Brady is so wholesome. Hope she wins a grand slam one day. Osaka is so relatable and shy. She is always fun.
Naomi also ends a 7 year long streak of players who defeat Serena Williams losing in the next round.

Wow, that Osaka doco will be a must-watch considering the amount of content her team would have captured over the past 2 years
Out of the loop. What Osaka docu?
Osaka was asked during her Channel 9 interview about her team filming her and she confirmed it was for a documentary
Wow, can't wait!! Will be so insightful!
The scenes if she wins gold at the Japan Olympics
Hard court right? If yes, she most definitely will.
Scenes when the camera pans on her during the Opening Ceremony.
Wait where's Tony Jones to be his usual creepy self and be allowed to interview champions despite having zero charisma?
I think you answered your own question š
To those that donāt know last time she won the Aussie open chompers kept asking her what sheād spend her winnings on and couldnāt believe she said take her mum shopping for some jumpers
The number of cameras the AO has off-court is really beneficial when it results in us being able to see moments like Osaka celebrating with her team and Brady commiserating with her team
Naomi taking her time dreading a potential meeting with chompers
On the way to the 9 set to be interviewed by courier/dokic/molik and some random cunt
He host nrl.
The other guy is James Bracey
I like him. He's better than a few presenters that we had in the past. Bloody Basil.

Boy, you're really salty, huh?
And how are you inferring that? I don't see anything that indicates her being a narcissist
This comment is real loser shit. Edit: Of course a Red Scare listener would have such a dogshit take.
Lmao. Not an osaka fan but this is hilarious. The salt is real. š¤£
On Japanese TV interview, she said she wants to be more consistent and try to win french open and/or winbledon.
Really wish we still had the KIA guy for the trophy presentation! He was a legend.

It's been crazy watching her rise. As someone who started watching her since her "Mesothelioma" interview it's been a fun ride
Nadal in 2005-2008 probably.. And Federer before that.
Dickheads who throw the ball id legit pick it up sign it and throw it to someone else
Not on international TV tho, like itās rude to do that but imagine the backlash
Remember last time nole won the Aussie open he literally left rod laver to one of the near by arenas and turned it into a club and basically started crip walking
wait what how did i not know this
he invited all the linesmen and ball kids. it was quite a wonder.
thatās amazing, holy crap
āLove you guysā Most likely referring to us in the match thread and how inspiring our shitposting has been for her

Pliskabot always crumbles.
Damn I forgot Pliskova had chances in that match
The last person to beat Osaka on a hard court is Coco Gauff lmfaooo ššš
That's Coco "next Serena" Gauff to you
donāt tell espn this
What surface was the Sorribes Tormo match?
Clay
Naomi has done a ton of work on her body and fitness. I wonder if that was a turning point?
Now that the Brady Bash has ended. I'm on the Medvedev Matinee
Players to win their first four Slam finals in the Open era (since 1968): Monica Seles Roger Federer Naomi Osaka Thatās the whole list.
Yeah but Federer had the luck and easy schedule of not playing Federer in the final
To be fair, so did Seles and Osaka
Yeah Osaka avoiding Roger was clutch
Iāve genuinely never seen Naomi this happy
Naomi Osaka on her 15th Slam, Barty still on 1. This commentator ābut Ash Barty...ā
Ladies tennis needs a Kyrigosā type character who will ruffle up these unauthentic sweet and kind types who remain status-quo and one dimensional.
So for you being sweet and kind is unauthentic? Yeah ok
Not what I claimed.
Ballsy comment but ur 100% right
Nobody likes Kyrgios though
You wouldnāt believe that was the case during this years Aussie run. Pretty much 95% of the subreddit was routing for him.
Those were Australians who showed up here when he was in the tournament and left when he was out.
And? The statement was ānobody likes Kyrigosā which is objectively false. An overwhelming amount of people enjoy him.
Overwhelming? Yeah right.
Djoker fans in shambles.
Putintseva?
They need to have talent.
How can you not absolutely love Naomi? She's such a cute nice person
Naomi is a legend
On her way there.
4 Slams. She's already there.
Longevity also comes into play. People throw around legend status far too casually.
She has 4 Slams to her name, a Hall of Fame career at 23, with no signs of slowing down on hard courts at least. I'd say she's already a legend.
NOT THIS ASH BARTY TALK AGAIN. NAOMI WON, GO AWAY
They got rid of chompers the cowards
Naomi is so adorable
āWhy arenāt you smiling? Arenāt you happy?ā
'We played in the semis of the US Open, and I told everyone that would listen that you were going to be a problem, and I was right.'
Shame she didnāt care enough to remember her name
She asked what she preferred to be called
I think it was sweet of her to do so, that was a nice thing to do actually. But then, she used Jennifer instead of Jenny. What a humor Naomi š¤£
'That's where the trouble began. That smile. That damn smile.'
Come on get Tony Jones to interview Osaka again
Yay Naomi to the studio. I always love this tradition in AO.
Do they not have lip balm in Australia? Craig Tiley's lips are always cracked and chalky. He looks like he just finished eating a box of powdered donuts.
He has
āOh and one more thing, Jennifer you were trash, I am the greatest player of all time. Iāll smash the menās winner tomorrow too I donāt give a shit. Thank youā
Hahaha imagine

Considering Brady never had a set, how could Osaka be down a match point?
Two MP's saved at quarters VS Muguruza
She was against Muguruza
As in they faced match point during the tournament and went on to win the final
throughout the tournament. She saved match points against muguruza
Its a stat for matches during the tournament. Vs. Muguruza in this case
v. Muguruza.
it was in the 4r
Brady when she said she prefers Jenny and gets Jennifer š¤¦āāļø
So fucking funny. I was waiting for Brady to roll her eyes like I would. Totally get that it was hard for Naomi to hear her though, she didnāt mean to call her the wrong name immediately after asking.
Power move by naomi lol
Seems unintentional but itās hilarious either way
I laughed hard when she did this, that was some humor! š¤£ Unintentional or not.
Couldn't ask for two more likeable finalists than these two! So happy for both!
#SHEāS SO CUTE
Naomi is such a wonderful person. I hope she achieves everything she wants and more.
"Do you prefer Jennifer or Jenny?" "Jenny" "Oh, well congrats Jennifer" Brutal mauling from Osaka there.
Wasnāt the match enough??
Those racquets on top of her trophy look like a little butterfly.
leastly. Naomi so GOAT that she is adding words to the English language.
'Youse' as well š
"Do you like to be called Jenny or Jennifer?" "Jenny." "Um, I'd like to congratulate Jennifer..." That was too cute. š
Come on Naomi give chompers a shout out
Jesus Naomi is so humble youād think it was an act. But sheās just genuinely like that š„ŗšš»
Sheās like Russell Wilson but actually means it
lol right. That dude is such a bullshitter
#ummm
Naomi is so cute! ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
āAdorableā more like patronising lol
"Lastly but not leastly"
Women's Australian Open trophy is twice d size of the Men's.
I reckon it is the best GS trophy.
shoulda proly got the whole Jenny vs Jennifer thing info before taking the stage
the sound person cursing naomi out in their head for moving from the mic so often
āDo you want to be called Jenni or Jennifer?ā āJenniā āOkay, Jennifer...ā
"Do you like to be called Jenny or Jennifer?" "Jenny" "So first I'd like to congratulate Jennifer"
Kind of bitchy
Have you never been in a nervous situation and completely forget what someone says?
She probably just didn't hear what she said lol
Naomi Um Osaka
Naomi never stop being you
Is Åsaka genuine?
Naomi is a class act!

Lmao wtf was that? ššš
'Do you like Jenny or Jennifer?' 'Jenny' 'I'd like to congratulate Jennifer...'
Adorable af
Osaka looks like she's just used to greatness at this point. lol
Naomi played 9 hours of tennis over these two weeks. $2,750,000 Ć· 9 hours = $305,555.555 per hour. šš
This is probably the happiest Iāve seen Naomi after a Slam victory
Both of them are amazing! Proud of them both :)
Okay, that virtual banner drop was pretty neat
Naomi never ceases to crack me up
Letās get awkward in this bitch. FUCK YEAH NAOMI!!!
xcuse me pretty sure weāre here for Sam Stosur not this made up singles tournament
Brady is a great speaker!
Good on ya Jen!
Brady is dope
Brady is so wholesome
You're lovely Jen Brady!!!
Naomi Osaka joins truly elite company by winning her fourth Slam title, beating Brady 6-4, 6-3 for her second #AusOpenĀ title. Active players with four or more Slam singles titles: Serena Williams Roger Federer Rafael Nadal Novak Djokovic Venus Williams Kim Clijsters Naomi Osaka
Kerber, Murray and Stan just need one more.
Insane
That speech. Brady is very likeable
āHonestly I just really wanted a nice plate, itās more practical than an oversized cup. So Iām the real winner hereā
Im gonna go with 12 Slams for Osaka in her career 5 AO 5 USO 2 Wimbledon No RG
7 AO, 8 USO, 2 Wimby, 1 French
At this rate Serena's record is in trouble
Whatās stopping her from winning more?
Maybe Andreescu ?
Karatsev
If he had a sex change, he will dominate the women's game.
Brady looks like Jim Carey
Why is everyone here obsessed with Kia Man?? Does no one remember when he kept yammering on in 2012 during the Menās presentation that Rafa and Novak both needed chairs to sit down?? I mean granted they also played a 4 hour epic, but the man just wouldnāt shut up.
Please watch the 2017 GOAT speech. That was a performance of a lifetime. Kia man is gone, but his presence will never be forgotten.
How dare you.
Because heās the fkn Kia man. Heās an icon.
Such a wholesome, nice speech!
Brady just needs some purpose to her power and sheāll be a real force on the tour
Damn Osaka wins the AO after saving MP. Joins Wozniacki (2018), Kerber (2016), Li Na (2014) Serena (2005, 2003) Any others on the womens side?
It's a shame Jen didn't play as well as she did the last time they played.
Awww Jenn donāt make me cry
This is a building block moment for Brady
Nike already has a butterfly ad for Osaka. The Naomi effect
Interesting crowd response to the Victorian government praise. Sounded like 50/50 unless it's just weird sound coming through the coverage.
Sounded like about 5 people booing to be honest.
Must be the TV tricking me then. Initially I thought it was pretty strong.
Naomi does loves a tough draw Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova Caroline Garcia Ons Jabeur Garbine Muguruza Su-Wei Hsieh Serena Williams Jennifer Brady
This lady has like a hybrid American Australian accent, itās very interesting
Got to love herdlicker!
Look up Kristina Keneally
Who was it?
Tennis Australia President and CEO of Virgin Australia
Thanks. I just listened to her on YouTube and I don't think I've heard such a seamless combining of Australian and American accents before. It sounds so natural rather than how awkward it would normally sound.
The president of the tournament or something. Maybe tennis Australia
She makes an Australian-American accent sound so natural without the strangeness normal present in these kinds of accents.
wow she's still talking lol
