Serena wants to be known as the Greatest Ever so to surpass Court's 24 is really important to her as she takes on Naomi Osaka in the final.

 

 

I just really feel bad for both of them bc there was a miscommunication with the first penalty that sent Serena over the edge. And while Naomi played the better game, she didn't deserve to win like that. It was the umpire who created such a toxic atmosphere and instead of making this about Naomi and celebrating her win, it's just gonna be about painting Serena to be the "angry black woman".

 

I'm calling it like it is. Two WOC dominating a sport that was once only catered to the upper elite white male and performing beautifully. Serena calling out the audience for their ugly behavior was also a moment.

Really pleased for Naomi, I’ve become a bit of a fan of hers lately. Shame apparently bad manners on Serena and the audience’s part overshadowed it but hopefully this’ll just be the first of many for her.

at least Serena's coach had the balls to admit that he was coaching

Not the first time, Serena has been involved in a controversial incident at the US Open.

 

 

What angers me the most about the Serena incident is that she brought race and gender in to the argument. No it's nothing to do with either, it's the fact you broke the rules and are a sore loser. Some of the things she said were completely out of order. My favourite line was "I'm a mother. I would never cheat" - I mean, absolutely hilarious. I can understand the emotion in the moment, but the fact she has come out and defended her actions rather than apologise is just terrible.

 

Feel really sorry for Osaka as it's just taken away a great moment from her.

Agreed completely, it's why she'll never be looked back on as a great champion on the vein of Roger & Rafa for me.

 

No matter what situation, she ALWAYS has to make it about her. Clearly couldn't handle bring outplayed & outclassed on her home turf by a youngster so had to go & spoil her moment completely. She 100% thinks she's bigger than the game. The crowd were awful as well.

She's a great player and I do think inequality in tennis is still prevalent (although this whole pay thing baffles me cos men play 5 sets and women 3, but that's another thing). But she was well out of order yesterday and acted like a brat. I think it's completely different to some of the recent male outburts. She's been great for female tennis but she's had nowhere near the same consistent levels of competition as the Big 4 in the Men's game have had.

 

The USA crowd are always awful, by the far the worst out of the Slams.

Really hope Osaka does something at her home tournament rather than predictably losing her first match.
