Naomi Osaka vs Leylah Fernandez Extended Highlights | 2021 US Open Round 3 

junior champions don't always become champions on the main tour

That is exactly what I was thinking

She didn’t even lose that badly, winning the first set and tie breaker in second set is very close. Could have gone either way.

That was Miami. Serena and Naomi have never met in IW

No she's not, she's a terrible role model.

Really..lol

@@tomr6955 How is she a terrible role model? I’m not trying to argue or start anything, I’m genuinely just curious.

@@tomr6955 nah but your mom is.

Stop trying to justify her loss. Fernandez could have taken the first set but she crumbled. Now stop! Fernandez realized she’s superior to Osaka and smoked her by making her run from side to side!

Have you seen the match? It was super close and tight through out the whole game, Naomi got a little loose at the very end of the second set, besides that she didn’t make much of mistakes. I’m a super fan of Naomi, but Layla just played so well in this match.

@@erniehendry3907 I know right.. I'm a big fan of naomi too hope she recovers from her mental issues and win more grand slams

@@erniehendry3907 I thought Osaka made a lot of mistakes. I mean, she did hit 36 unforced errors, and at pinnacle moments in the match too, such as the second set tiebreak.

@@bweb6 But Osaka was pretty much unplayable on serve nearly every game. She really had one of her best serving performances in a couple years and it still wasn’t enough. Fernandez draws out errors by taking the ball early and painting the lines. Osaka’s serve was the only reason why this was a tight match, the moment it dropped just a bit she was in trouble

@@DeepSeas.. yes i think she had 16 aces in this match which was kinda crazy. Her serve improved a lot this year actually, but for me the reason why she lost 1) Mental side of things 2) she didnt move that well at all here. Big fan of her, excited to see her return stronger than ever.

Osaka is an extremely weak player. If she hears a "boo" in the crowd she flips out, and basically quits. It's embarrassing.

They have to be, as they struggle to fill their courts, unlike the other 3 slams.....

Not really, Australian Open highlights are the best

😂

😂😂😂

😁😁😁😁😁

Whatever she says makes headlines unfortunately.

Naomi was not in physical shape to compete in a tennis match. At least not against world-class players. This is a deserving loss for Naomi.

@@benthekeeshond545 The highlights would suggest otherwise. She was very close to winning in straight sets.

@@GiDaOne Naomi could have won easily if she was motivated and in better shape. Naomi was borderline fat in this match. I try not to be critical of her but she didn't help herself. Anyway, Naomi is crazy.

@@benthekeeshond545 Whether she's crazy or not has nothing to do with her performance in this match, and just shows your bias. I'm not a particularly big fan either, but if she almost won against the woman who ended up as the finalist at the US Open then she did pretty OK. So not only did she compete (contrary to what you said) but almost ended up winning it. I'm sure she could work a bit on her weight (it wasn't really that apparent to me) but it seems like the issue was more mental than physical.

@@GiDaOne Why am I biased toward her? I am only stating the truth. I stated that she could have won easily if she was physically fit. It wouldn't get to a tie-breaker.

Raducanu is a much better returner than Osaka, she put fear into Fernandez.

@@Vipa567 True. But Fernandez also beat Kerber and Svitoline, who are fantastic returners. She just seemed exhausted in the final, no bounce in her step. She had longer matches going through 3 top 5 players and a former #1.

@@feo2229 you both true its just that Emma was playing Superb Tennis demolishing everyone, while Leyla got tired slaying giants her last 3 games all went to three sets which is tiring.

@@Vipa567 players worry about the return beating them easily and embarrassing them....

She's mentally fragile and her game is one dimensional. She'll never reach another slam if she doesn't figure out how to control her emotions, fix her mental aspects to the game, and can problem solve on the court.

Very nice overview I agree

I also feel like she relied too much on power a few times. In my opinion, raw power alone won’t cut it these days and Fernandez showed she could work around it.

@@eboneemillican6115 Of course, she had to get the ball in. Why she missed the crucial power shots was that she tried to execute them before she got into position. Naomi's sloppy shots announced to the world that she didn't really train hard for the US Open. Nobody deserves to lose but I am not too sure about Naomi.

I don't know how these snowflake multi-millionaires have the cheek to moan in the first place. Didn't hear the wheel chair players, or paralympians moaning about their 'mental health'.....

Boris Becker or Toni Nadal's tough love can make her the greatest of all time.

@@meansy7753 just because you are rich doesn’t mean you can’t have mental health issues 🤦‍♂️

@@zackhui9064 well said. Money can’t buy happiness

@@noahkhimasia6437 Studies suggest having more money can improve happiness -- up to a point where you're living a little above middle class, or basic needs are comfortably met. This is why very rich folks aren't necessarily any happier than middle or upper-middle folks, though.

Leylah was serving from ad side so was up a point, serving for game point...the tv score was a point behind

can You afford ???

Am a billionare .... didn't u know .... hahaha

Dumb comment. define "attitude"

you know who really has flab rolls??? your mom!!!😀

She’s been hat way for the majority of her career. But, now that’s she has not been playing a lot of matching or practicing much her lack fitness is catching up to her.

As "weak" as...come on bro.. I wouldn't call either of Thier plays "weak"

Serena has has awesome results since pregnancy. She just playing for history. Different kind of pressure. Ask novack. Js

@@eiddiegreen4148 So true. People really forget that every time Serena steps out on the court she’s not even battling the player across the net, she’s battling history. It’s been that way the moment she reached 17 slams and realized she could surpass all the greats.

She looks overweight for a WTA pro.

@ Bram said Osaka's "movement was impaired for whatever reason". YOU KNOW what the reason was. Heck, just look. Where in the heck is Osaka's fitness coach? 🤔

@@m.w.976 Never said I did not know...

Why are you so negative ? Do you know anything about tennis?

@@samati109 I know enough to see that she's ambitious and very stubborn but lack in so many aspects and unless she change her coach and work on her game she'll struggle. Winning with fitness is a tactic that works until some point. She's young but she'll not be forever. And playing like this she'll struggle with contusions. She's bright and passionate but desperately needs to work on so many aspects. Dad is to a point, now she needs someone to spin her 180°. If she worked on her game to that other girl level in combination with this fitness, this were going to be straight sets. In her favour. And she was going to have the right trophy. But she's young and have the time in her favour. However as I said the right person behind her is missing.

Her form at the moment is no where near what it was when she won Grand Slams. When she is in top form she completely dictates the match and can create some insane angles

@@estebanocon5041 are you minding him/her. If its so why does Barty not win all the slams as the No 1 player in the WTA

Leylah played more variety after losing the first set. She tried drop shots, taking the ball even earlier to take the time off from Osaka. Osaka couldn't adopt the changes. Perhaps the other players are starting to look through her.

@@advenplusadvenplus9916 I think it's partly to do with her weight gain. You can see that her heart isn't even fully in it. She isn't in her top form anymore, in her mind she has already quit. Her opponents are grabbing this opportunity and using it against her clearly

On the contrary. It was fun to hear this song which was really appropriate for this moment where Osaka lost it.

Also 12:23

I think Osaka was struggling internally because she was shocked and a little embarrassed that Leylah wasn’t going down easily. Based on the way Leylah had played the past year or two Osaka though she wasn’t going to have to try hard. She was cocky and underestimated her opponent.

@@angelab9171 I dont think that’s the case. Osaka basically had her and then just couldn’t close the match.

@@Y3C0868 Osaka had her until she didn’t. But, it was always a close match. Osaka won the first set but it wasn’t a blow out. No one expected a close match between Leylah (#77) and Osaka (#3 & 4 GS titles) going into this. They didn’t show it in the highlights but during the match Osaka had moments where she was laughing looking shocked at some of Leylah’s returns. Leylah totally out played her in the 3 rd set, the only set that wasn’t close. Osaka didn’t lose her temper for nothing.

There is a new ,tribe on the march and Osaka who i admire better put her mental state in order or her waste size and her attitude reflects Flabby behavior

Osaka withdrew from the two slams where she never does well. That’s the part they always leave out of headlines. She thought she was going to spend that time preparing for the Olympics and US Open because she’s best on hard courts but it didn’t work out because she didn’t realize that being a star player means others have studied your game and they’re bringing their best for you. Serena said years ago that getting to the top is hard but staying on top is much harder. Osaka never factored that in her plan and she’s not ready for it.

@@angelab9171 well said!

I agree but look at a player like Simona Halep. Small but mighty

@@roysantiago9131 Simona is still bigger and stronger than Leylah and plus, it took her a long time to get her first Slam, she can still compete of course but she loses a lot now in the quarter and semis. Osaka came in and within 2 years she has 4 Slams already.

*Alright thanks for recommending him, how do I reach him and how can I start trading with Edward Martin's?*

Only a little.

I agree. I could see the flab

Maybe pregnant

She put on a bit of weight yes. When you face a bit of depression it can do that to you.

Pregnant Possibly or Macdonalds

It’s the outfit lol Look at how she changes dresses mid-match to the yellow one. She’s actually wearing it over the ill-fitting first outfit, making it look like she has rolls

@@yourmusic6110 lol

Raducanu is
