Uncertain grounds
Clearly none of you have. I competed in nationals in high school. I know the game well.

Every time y'all get hit with facts, y'all get emotional. :troll:

China isn't known for producing tennis champs. Yes they have the funding but clearly you know nothing about their government and how funds for athletes go towards gymnastics.

Michael Chang was the biggest player of Chinese descent until Na Li...she played for China.

Former USTA regional #1 and state champ here

Clocked at 125 at only 6'0

I know the game.

Serena played that women card and tears quick.

Now before i get killed, she a solidfied bonafide G, a legend on and off but she bytchin and sounds like spoiled brat.

Whether she right or not, dont bring up that sexist conspiracy ploy during the game. She put on a show with them tears. For the simple reason it sounded like excuses. She was not on her game today. It happens.

Kinda gay if you ask me.
I actually agree. If anyone saw Serena's HBO special then you won't be surprised by anything you saw today.

Naomi Osaka’s Breakthrough Game

This article will answer many of the questions you have about Naomi. Her dad wanted her to represent Japan.


Osaka played under the American flag, it’s very unlikely that these opportunities would exist. Japanese companies would have no reason to court her and U.S. brands would have other higher-ranked young guns to consider, like Madison Keys and Sloane Stephens. But as Japan’s top-ranked player, Osaka has the full attention of the country’s top brands, whose sponsorship fees can run far higher than those of their Western counterparts. There’s a reason Nishikori, despite never having won a Grand Slam title, surpassed bigger stars like Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic in endorsement income over the past year, with $33 million, according to Forbes. Only Roger Federer earned more. “Kei’s been a trailblazer for Naomi,” Duguid, her agent from I.M.G., says. “He’s opened doors for tennis in Japan and across Asia.” But with Osaka’s combination of youth, authenticity and cultural diversity, he says, “she might have more global appeal.”

Yeah if you call Naomi a c00n or some shyt like that, its on sight as far as Im concerned

as far as Serena is concerned, this is such a substantially bad look. She might've got a bad rub with the official but she obviously had no sense of cordialness moving on. And all the bullshyt she said about being a good mother and never cheating might've been true, but that was just to save face in what was becoming a more evident reality that she wasnt gonna win. Also even the fans and I believe the president of the open was dikkriding Serena. Just a disgusting look all around, even if I wasnt biased. This would be like if Manny fought some poor hispanic kid who washed him to the point of immediate retirement and everyone basically told him to kill himself. Thats basically what happened
