Naomi Osaka Winner's Press Conference | US Open 2018 

These journalists are piranhas

@@15Brig That's how their profession works. If people don't take the bait then they'll be left starving

It was annoying that they kept trying to get her to throw Serena under the bus. She isn't stupid. I'm glad she has that champion mindset.

dariusd2003 they thrive on controversy. She didnt give them what they wanted and it's great haha

It’s their job. They need drama to sell papers.

Tara what time was that plz

L-dawg12 C "Plans to celebrate tonight?" 11:22 which leads to question of "ever had a drink?" at 11:39 I love how she responds so quickly to it xD

she lives in Florida

I truly love her answer

Well shes not going to say im going to wasted with friends lol

Melissa Kasim- Yeap so calm and cool.. Every reply was great.. For 20 old girl.. Well done..

i agree my compliments to her parents for doing a superb job considering black/japanese mix and her grand parents. i am sure that conflict will disappear soon. nyomi is so lovable i am sure her grandparents will melt.

The Japanese education Mrs Kasim. Japanese are amazing people.

A S she did win

A S okay sorry then for my misuderstanding

Andrew A you must not be a very big sports fan if you can watch one interview and state someone as ur favourite athelete. And because of the personality above all else

Dylan James Chang So salty bro. We don’t need your negative energy here.

Andrew A bandwagon alert 🚨

Serena is pathetic showed no class.

Me too

yeah god protect her from these filthy ppl

If I was in her position I would say that "Serena needs to apologise for ruining my very first Grand Slam victory. What she did was unprofessional and unsportsmanlike to end this tournament in this manner. It's not good for our sport and the next generation of players to witness such an unsportsmanlike behaviour from a world elite athlete".

She's just got to review her reference choices. Serena is a awful human being and should not be idolized by anyone..

Viktor Raven She's a terrible role model for future players.

@ ravenThat is why you wont be in her position as you will be exhibiting what you are saying Serena did. Which makes you the same.

I really want her to lose this humble, kind attitude so that she can show the bitch serena Williams her real place... I want her to learn poltics so that she can slam dunk that bitch!

Right. Serena got upset, it happens. She got punished. It happens. Naomi won a slam. That doesn't just happen. That's what should be important. Them asking about spoiling the moment, they are the ones doing the spoiling. For Christ sakes, this is going to literally change her life. And she deserves the win because she was doing so well in that matches, and all the ones leading up. It's not like she was handed a victory. They need to just ask about her game, and then congratulate her. If they want to contreversy, they can go interview Serena later, and get her opinion. Don't detract from this moment. Ha e some priorities. I feel bad that Naomi feels like she has to be all humble and grateful since she won by technicality. She deserves to be the champ, and everyone is trying to make her feel like she doesn't.

Completely agree with your comment!! Those reporters were something else.

Wow! Sadly, I think you're right. THE MEDIA THESE DAYS IS SO THUGGISH especially that TMZ.

I agree, just a couple of congratulations, it was focused on other issues.

i don't see them as hungry wolves. just honest reporters trying to get information from the champion. They don't know what she was thinking and how she felt so they did their jobs and asked. Osaka i honestly believe wasn't sure what was happening, so she had that going for her.

Looks like she’s got 3 more fans now

Add me to the list!

Genuinely such a good person at heart. So much empathy and care. The first words to come out of her mouth after wining that trophy was sorry. She couldn’t even celebrate. I just can’t. Gotta love her being.

May I cut in?

Yeah she is mixed but bottom of her heart she is a humble Japanese soul.

You're very right

Sunkiss Flower it's called asian. In case you didn't notice, this is typical.

@@jackw8827 Considering her father is from Haiti and her mother is from Japan, your point makes no sense that, "It is considered Asian." What the hell does that even mean?

Sunkiss Flower WRONG. Because having a 50% asian admixture CERTAINLY will influence her hormonal makeup.

Listen you, her dad is Haitian. Her paternal DNA counts also. She was raised in the USA too by both parents. So, don't go giving all credit to "Asian". Some Asians are rude, selfish, ruthless people and some are humble.

I like that she doesn't feel the need to drag Serena, even though some of the press really want her to.

@@ogzombiebreakfast Agreed, she's very classy.

yeah lol great role model. She was cheating too with her coach the whole tournament. They all use PEDs also. All frauds.

@@darkdoctor417 Well Serena got caught and acted like a child. During the interview, the reporters were trying to get Naomi to throw salt at Serena, she didn't. That was classy. That's why she would make a good role model, unlike Serena who had a total melt down and threw in the sexism card.

P Chuck she's an actual person. I hate it when athletes put on a persona.

and HAITIAN

💕

There wasn't before thanks I'm calm now

Glow Connection she said congratulations from Japan. She didn’t say Naomi was Japanese.

u only like her cuz she is Asian...she needs to act like a champ and not a Loser....not a scared little girl

She's only 20 idiot ! It's her first big win and that's the real her. Not some fake shit you ate everyday. Just let her be herself f*tard !

What a sweetheart. Such humility and empathy from someone this young and talented is amazing.

nhu vo trumps mom called u an idiot

I Love her

Serena was the ultimate bitch and Osaka showed such grace. I am now an Osaka fan. Serena will see that she is Osaka's hero. I hope she feels like trash.

So right on

James Newman well if ppl ask drama questions there will be drama dumbass ...u make no no no nooo sense . Shrugs

James Newman, HIGHLY COMMEND THIS YOUNG LADY FOR HER INTEGRITY CONCERNING THE GAME, BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE WANT HER TO ELUDE TO NEGATIVITY, BUT REFUSE TO DEGRADE THE CHAMPION.

Drama on media means more money. That's just how the world works, at least for now, unfortunately.

So was I! What a breath of fresh air Osaka is! I was so happy for her!

Me tooo!

Francis Cleomere I was fingering my asshole then licking the shit off of it.

Smiling and crying,she is so down-to-earth 😊

@@discodino3873 they got famous for nothing at first.

Disco Dino maybe it's because they are worshipped for practically accomplishing nothing but be a complete w***eclub and people like this nice young lady are left out and are not looked up to by the current generation?

biscuit I agree!!!wow it was

I really don't think she'll become arrogant. If she got through this, she'll get through jus about anything. I doubt anything will test her humbleness like what she experienced that night.

She will. Her parents culture raised her right. Black American culture often involves playing victim and bitching about everything even though immigrants with literally nothing are more likely to succeed.

strikedizzle you nazi filth.

strikedizzle her BLACK dad was one of the main reasons for her success, not her IMMIGRANT mom so watch it snowflake

kaylaxovuu i’m confused because you look like 15

No naomi said it in the interview

These replies are cursed jeez

MegaCaptcha facts wtf lol

@@kaylaxovuu haha

To Release is To Resolve this has nothing to do with anything. stop the outrage

Yes! he seems to be shy? Or he might don't want the fame but from the way Osaka speaks about her father, I think he must be a very good man.

@@yothiga he? For God sake what's your problem? Honesty.

Her father? What's wrong with that?

This is the stupidest shit i’ve read in a while

Yes. It seems you really know it is necessary. You are correct.

I WISH WE HAD PEOPLE IN THE USA WHO ACTED LIKE NAOMI. YEAH FOR JAPAN.

She is a precious cinnamon roll, desu

She isn't cute whatsoever. You need to get out more. Women call any woman cute or pretty.

@@A-Dubs398 you need to get out more ur self if you think cute can only refer to someone's physical looks. Obviously the OP was referring to her personality.

Tippy H Yeahhhh.Am so happy for her.I wanted Serena to win having been Serena's fan for years but I started wanting Naomi to win when Serena started being bitchy and a sore loser during the match.She deliberately wanted to tilt the momentum on her favor but Naomi held her ground.Federer will never do that,he never takes the shine of his opponents away,even when his opponents try to make excuses for him losing,he always tells them "you won because you are the better player".His attitude to his younger opponents like Coric,Zverev that are upcoming after a loss is that of "you can do it".Roger is Tennis in and out and Serena just lost a fan

Naomi surely showed her class. FAR above Serena.. not even comparable. Classy lady vs an animal who showed she is worthless dirt that has absolutely NO CLASS. Truly disgusting to see Serena's actions and speech. Serena will be remembered as a low class, where Naomi will be remembered as a classy lady that should be the way for the true sportswoman.

@ Collins Medusa. "Federer will never do that, he never takes the shine of his opponents away" Really? Remember the Australian Open trophy ceremony? Federer absolutely took the shine away from Rafael Nadal's win. Back to today's match, Serena's behaviour was bang out of order. I nearly choked when I heard her say she is always gracious and humble. IMO she was losing anyway, she was totally outplayed. Naomi is the deserving champion, she was great and is like a breath of fresh air in the women's game and in tennis generally.

She doesn't deserve this victory

@@rakeshmarvin9434 you deserve a round of applause bro =)

Noticed it. They love drama. Intrigue sells but she handled it with class and refused to take the bait.

@Blood Taker you're a Douche! !

I agree Naomi is precious. But I think she wasn't saying everything. The reporter towards the end (who asked her why she felt she needed to apologize) brought out her true feelings - unfortunately she got emotional, so we could not get to hear her complete view on that. She did start out with something interesting about coming on to the court she wasn't thinking about Serena but when she hugged her at the end ... (she stopped there)

A Frica I think what she meant was that when she hugged Serena, she felt bad that she had taken the 24th win from her idol. She played to win but there are always losers on one side so she felt bad for her idol

Blood Taker Coward? Do you really want drama in a game that’s already ruined thanks to Nole/Rafa fans calling Fed fans Fedtards, Rafa-PED situation, etc.

Women's sports has a new hero! Congratulations to Naomi Osaka, and also to Japan and Haiti!... I'd be honored if some tennis fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of 80s/90s classic songs on my channel. Covers include Sting, Prince, George Michael, Elton John, Phil Collins, the GooGoo Dolls, Counting Crows, Tom Petty, Billy Joel, Earth Wind & Fire, plus a couple of '010s classics from Bruno Mars and Coldplay. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.

Mine too

Wait till she’s got 7 grade slams then let’s see how classy she is

I like to see more the good in every person, even if it's the harder thing to do. It will always be the right way.

A Classy cheater lol

Oh yes indeed, it was a pure bliss to see that interview and the way she brushed that "Osaka" joke with such a finesse was a true Bliss....An Encore for that young Lady ! Standing Ovation and slow Clap from me, And the best part is : She sent those gossip hungry Press people to their real JOB, : "write about the truth" Everyone saw what happened, no need to turn the blade into the wound. ! Way to Go Naomi !

Wow......everything you stated covers it all for me. Love this young lady....so refreshing to see this type of personality in such an amazingly talented young athlete.

tatonkaa your comment is soo wrong yet soooo damn funny!!! 😂😂

@tatonka: aww, so sorry I don't fit in your whatever notion ;-) actually, I'm gay, your gaydar is pretty spot on!

I just don't see how a woman throwing a childish temper tantrum can inspire someone so much that they break into tears. She displayed despicable behavior that bordered on histrionics. The hug made no sense. I bet deep down Naomi resents her for her behavior, and does not think the judge made the wrong decision. Serena threw a verbal temper tantrum, smashed a racket on the ground in frustration and demanded a apology, while there were games to still play, over the intercom by the judge for what she insisted was not her cheating? You're a tennis official and coaching is not allowed. Sometimes adjustments need to be made. Sometimes you need to get closer or further to the net. A thumbs up is pointing, like it or not. Can't you see how the official might interpret that as a signal so maybe get closer or further away on the net on a serve? And the judge is suppose to take her for her word, mid-game, that she is not a cheater because she has a daughter. Then accuses him of being misogynistic and demands an apology over the speaker again. Are you kidding me? This is Heroism? fuck that. Sorry btw, i wanst trying to rip on you for being gay. I cry watching dog rescue videos all the time so I'm a puss too.

True

Nicely put! The tendency to pile on does a disservice to Naomi and Serena. I loved her saying "It's just a game". I also loved her unconditional respect for Serena and her natural and strong resistance not enter into a controversy she doesn't feel part of.

I think she lied a little here. She said what happened didn't change the way she sees Serena. From her tears and facial expressions you know Serena's image as her idol is a little bit tarnished now.

TheOldGods: That is exactly opposite to what Naomi said. Let's take her at her word. Despite repeated questions, she repeatedly said she didn't really know what was going on and couldn't hear it either. When she had beat her idol and then hugged Serena at the net, she was faced with feelings she'd had since childhood. It's not easy beating your idol. Have you ever seen and heard Federer's disdain towards a referee? He verbalizes it differently, but makes it quite obvious too. No big deal.

My thoughts exactly! This black queen is representing Japan well!

@@demoiselledelamontagne l actually think she blanked all the on-court drama out. I think she probably tuned the crowd out as well. She knew was probably going into a hostile arena so pushed everything out of her mind and simply concentrated on her game. This is what extreme focus looks like.

yeah agree with u

I will assume they must have been mindlessly drunk.

i will agree to that. i cant wait until the next match to see tennis at its finest hopefully it will be only about tennis.

Yes she did

i don't think the boos were directed towards her and rather towards ramos haha

Her parents and her close close friends is with her no need to be scare , but I'm 100% agree stay away from L.A.

The entire world! She won a lot of hearts and a lot of fans tonight!

It's true! Well done!

Francis Ng, I'm happy to know she's guarded, very Intelligent and and raised very well, so the wolves won't get in her head.

KiddKoalaz: The moment you write this words, you are!

stupid questions can break the tension lol

They were actually trying to coax her to indulge in verbal diarrhoea against Serena. But this young lady is extremely graceful for her age. She's deserves the win. A STAR is born and the world better watch out. 👏

Humility is part of the Japanese culture.

❤👍

Wow so stereotyping categorizing a whole country.

I went to Tokyo over the summer and will vouch for this. It’s the closest thing I’ve seen to utopia

+Babylonthegreat Ouch...everything you wrote are true. But I still miss my country maybe because I've been living in the US for 9 years. Of course I miss only good part of Japan such as cleanness, non confrontational, good manner and patient people, high quality products, fresh food, health care system, and the drinking culture. IMO most of people are not 2 faces, we just change our attitude depend on who we are talking to. You don't have to be too honest or opinionated for just to your acquaintances. We don't like drama. We try to avoid it. Japanese are honest toward someone who they care about. Like their spouse, family, best friends.

Babylonthegreat every country has its downsides... it’s just Japan has a lot fewer of them. i never said it’s utopia, just the closest thing I’ve seen. and I stand by that

here's one of MANY examples: I missed the last subway to the airport, and I asked a random Japanese native about directions. he ended up showing me all the possible routes on his phone, telling me which one was cheapest, riding with me on the subway to the right stop, and even giving me money for the taxi. name a country where you will experience that. keep in mind i am a CHINESE person, visiting from China, but living in America, speaking English.

I guess you're also a Young guy

Syed Osman 🔥

It's a typical Japanese response. My students in Japan often give me the same answer. But the second after they come of age, they will drink.

THAT WAS JUST PRECIOUS!

Lies

good question

How do you write a comment in bold letters?

Probably because you're a very weak minded individual.

Too much hentai for u my man

She's kinda cute but I'm probably not gonna cry about it...

She wasn't even raised in Japan...sigh

isn't she raised by a Japanese parent?

Naomi Osaka just won the US OPEN; first Haitian and Japanese to do so! Yet, the major news network will only said she is Japanese; when her Haitian father, a NYC University Grad went to Japan and met her mom. Now, they say she is the first ever Japanese to win the US OPEN. Can you tell me what was lacking from the other Japaneses who tried un the 100 years of the US open? Exactly...dont let them downplay our genes..oh btw...her sister plays tennis too and they are train by their father. #zoelifeornolife🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹 #usopen18 #naomiosaka #ayiticherie #1804 #haitian #irepmypeople #zoepound

Hopefully the next crowd gives her a standing ovation when she enters or another tourney!

vitaminwaterlover actually that’s not true

I am so happy for Naomi! Congratulations!

Qasim Arshad indeed!!

Splendid why does Serena get a congrats? She threw a fit and got the crowd upset to the point they made Noami her apologize for winning 🤦🏽‍♀️ of course the media is going to ask they're like TMZ

You know, Spendid...it didn't have to turn out the way it did for Serena if only she could have controlled her emotions a bit better. I am sure she's carrying lots of Psychological bagage about not being treated fairly during the past 20 years on the tour. She may or may not have a point. The issue is, there is a time and place to address those concerns. You are in the middle of a very tough match, that you're struggling to save against a much younger and worthy opponent. You need all your mental and emotional energy to hopefully be victorious, but she would not let go of the fact she got a warning - for the action of her coach. She decided to unload the Psychological baggage she's been carrying over the years- that's why she was unable to let go of the simple warning she was given. And one thing leads to another until she was assesed a 15 point penalty and subsequently an entire game. I hope she reflects and learn from this...

Except become better

sealand000 that goes without saying

She has become a better player for sure, since working with him, besides. who knows Serens's game better than Sascha?

She grew up in Japan and Japanese and very calm. Not like Americans who tend to be hotheaded

She actually grew up in Florida since 3... yeah but it is true there is strong influenced from her Japanese mother

Anika whatever color U have in mind..we are just happy for her..

blasian girls you mean

Why is her color relevant to you? She’s a good person

If she is not brown then what color is her cap dear??

@@amans2 as a race shes considered black. black people are called black too even if theoretically theyre brown bc a deep black skin color cant exist

That's how the Japanese are, respectful, sincere, dedicated and hardworking. Met a few of them and I was ashamed of myself.

amen

They raised this lady well. Very proud of how she carried herself through this charade. Congratulations from CA

David Osa, Naomi’s family moved to the US at Fort Lauderdale when she was only 3 years old, Naomi basically grew up here in the US but I think because Naomi has a Japanese mother it must have help a lot for her to be molded to have a calm demeanor and be unassuming. I hope her grandparents is still alive to see Naomi’s successes. Record said that in racially homogeneous Japan, Naomi Osaka is considered hāfu, which is Japanese word for biracial. Naomi Osaka's Japanese grandfather was furious when he found out her mother was romantically involved with a black man. As a result of their interracial relationship, her mother Tamaki Osaka did not have contact with her family for over 10 years. In a 2016 interview, Naomi Osaka said: "When I go to Japan, people are confused. From my name, they don’t expect to see a black girl”

She was telling the truth

Well answered ..... Fuck them

they're disgusting

Yo Wtf

shakti rani humble is an adjective and humility is a noun that basically means humbleness. Don’t correct grammar if you don’t know vocabulary

Yes that's exactly what I was thinking. That show her personality.

You know that they tried it with her but she loves Serena.

Could not have said it better

Sadly, Serena despite many years of professional career, is plain rude n uncultured. Very disrespectful manner in her approach! A Poor role model.

Serena knew exactly what she was doing.

She just won $3.8 million ....she doesn't have to find the party. Something tells me that the party will find her.

@@Essays4College Maybe, then maybe she don't care for that lifestyle, I Know if I was a rich a famous actor, I wouldn't care for that or doing drugs.

Steph Intheatre Me too and I haven’t watched tennis in years 😊

There are people who exist who are party animals but at the same time are capable of displaying certain codes of conduct in the public sphere. BTW she plays PlayStation, I want to add her on PSN!😀

Well I hope they felt an inch of remorse when Osaka literally apologized for being the victor. I really felt bad for the girl.

Jules, I was sad for her to, the crowd mob mentality was real. For all those that booed, shame on you. Naomi was robbed of what could have been the most joyous celebration, but those guilty had to be classless, and just couldn't accept that Naomi was the better player, or that the game didn't go to a third set, so you didn't get your monies worth. Does that justify your immature behavior? Bullies and cowards you are pathetic tennis fans, can't see and appreciate a young upcoming Champion who is gifted, humble sweet natured, hard working She is a truly special.

Jules L thank u very much for saying the truth out there in the crowd , a mob mentality , Shame

Watched it and the US audience brought huge amounts of shame on themselves. They are the same at other national events too. The way they behave at Ryder cup competitions, especially at home is terrible.

Serena played the crowd. She should be ashamed too.

And to Haïti too...

Jayvon I know❤️

For the record, New York is not Serena's hometown. She's from Compton, California. Secondly, when Wawrinka won his first Grand Slam against Nadal at the Australian Open, he wasn't very ecstatic because it was obvious to everyone that Nadal was injured during the whole match and was not playing well because of it. This is not dissimilar to when Delpo beat Nadal at the semis.

Its Osaka hometown

Rupinderpal Singh ...been to all 4 of the slams many times and yes the US ones are the worst...and embarrassed to say I'm American...I hope in time this young lady will embrace this win with utter joy...she has a beautiful game and look forward to much more success down the road

Wahn Yoon serena was a disgusting disgrace

Gloria Chang Nothing is stolen from her, where people get the idea from.

@@maggotbrain7499 "Nothing was stolen from her; where do people get that idea from?" From Katrina Adams, the president of the U.S. Tennis Association, who before handing out the trophies said, "This was not the outcome WE were hoping for." ...And the booing crowds, who continued to boo long after the umpire had left and the two players were on the podium, waiting to receive their trophies. Naomi Osaka was in tears because it appeared the crowd was booing the outcome (her victory). The fact is, many of the crowd were people who don't regularly follow tennis but were fans of Serena anyway. They believed the hype that Serena was destined to get her 24th Grand Slam title, and anything that stood in the way of this was just denying what Serena was entitled to have. Serena and her minions soiled Naomi's moment of glory.
