She just had a baby in July and now only three months later may have split with the baby's father? Ugh, I hope not. Although that guy didn't seem to be very productive - in her documentary he seemed to just lay around watching tv all the time doing nothing.

I’m happy for her! Much rather she get it than no-win Sharapova who deserves NONE of the endorsements she got but receive every one of them.

Unfortunately endorsements aren’t always egged to skil. When you get beautiful people or charisma AND talent is when they really start rolling - Tiger Woods, Cristian Ronaldo, David Beckham.

Serena's coach admitted he coached. Serena cheated to win and got caught.

Now the whole world's racist and sexist for catching and penalizing her.

I agree.

It was Hitler himself, who was coaching Naomi to beat Serena.

God bless St. Serena, the only woman on earth willing to give up millions on dollars in order to bully an umpire earning $400.

It takes guts.

Name a single country in this world where a champion felt she had to apologize for winning. If you live in a glass house, quit throwing rocks at others.


I think she felt awkward about it because the chair umpire had awarded her a point and a game. So she won without the two of them actually playing part of the match. That is very unusual for a final in a high level tournament like the US Open, so I imagine it did feel weird. So, not apologizing for winning, but feeling awkward about how the win happened.


We know exactly what Osaka said: " “I wasn’t really sure if they were booing at me” — but that she understood how they felt. “I also could sympathize because I’ve been a fan of Serena my whole life and I knew how badly the crowd wanted her to win,” Osaka told Today. “I was just emotional.”

Osaka went on to say that she felt “really happy” when Williams publicly stood up for her. The athlete also said that she felt as though she needed to apologize to the crowd when accepting her trophy. “I just felt like everyone was sort of unhappy up there. I know that the ending wasn’t how people wanted it to be,” she said."

That was a day later. At the moment, it was a very awkward situation all around.


Are you so dense and arrogant as to say you know better than Osaka herself what she was thinking?


No, I have eyes in my head and watched the game and the aftermath in real time, and then watched the whole thing again. And I am aware that athletes get coaching in talking to the media after an event.

The fact is that a point and a game were awarded to one player and were never played out on the court. The chair umpire is responsible for making those decisions, unusual for a final match in a such a high level, important tournament.


You have the diction and syntax of a third grader.

Typical racist who "knew" who should have won. Osaka can beat any of the Williams brothers fair and square if neither is allowed to cheat.

The only other place, apart from 2018 USA, where a champion wasn't supposed to win was 1936 Hitler's Berlin Olympics. Both in 2018 USA and 1936 Hitler's Olympics, everyone knew that the "ending wasn’t how people wanted it to be.”
