US Open Ladies Final - Spoiler

[malaise]

It's like watching Serena play her younger self

Naomi won the first set but she's not looking as solid here.
Come on Serena break time.

[malaise]

1. Calm down Serena

You are too not to lose it here - dignity sis,
play and deal with the official later. 3-3

[alfredo]

2. It's been a hell of a match.

[malaise]

3. Not anymore - this is a mess

Game penalty to Serena. Very unfortunate.
I feel sorry for both Naomi and Serena

[spanone]

4. she might walk

[malaise]

5. Sadly she's at fault

You can't call an official a thief. The final is a complete disaster now. I feel it for the kid.

[malaise]

6. Thankfully she didn't but this was an atrocious final

Ramos messed it up because the penalty was unprecedented.
That said Naomi played really well. After 23 slam wins, Serena should have handled this differently.

7. I started watching back in the McEnroe era....heard way worse things said to refs....

crazy crazy

sad for Naomi for sure

[malaise]

9. Serena shows her class

Not doing questions- she played well and this is her first grand slam -stop the booing - Congrats Naomi.

Thank you Serena

8. At least Serena gave her a nice hug after the match

I was nervous about this match after Osaka beat Keys, had a feeling that Osaka was going to win, but a shame that it had to happen the way it did. Serena is doing well at the trophy presentation, not emotionally but she is saying the right words.

[malaise]

10. Me too

Naomi is Serena but 17 years younger. Lovely comments from Serena.

[MiniMe]

12. The crowd is doing better now at the trophy presentation

For her to be able to tell the crowd to stop booing, I have to give her props. And I think she feels bad for Osaka. I do too, it doesn't look like she is enjoying her moment

[malaise]

13. She'll be fine when she cashes that check

[MiniMe]

14. I would be, 3.8 million is nothing to sneeze at

17. Always read with interest what you write malaise......

admire your insite and comments. I was so worried Serena would not handle it as best she could. She did prove that she IS a champion with what she did and said after the match was over. You go girl. And you are right Naomi is the mini Serena.

[malaise]

18. Thanks

Serena being interviewed now

[malaise]

20. She was even better in the post match interview

What a day. PHEW!

[MiniMe]

21. Yes, she was

[Johnny2X2X]

11. All class

This is Osaka’s first major title. Serena recognized that and did her best to make it about her.

[malaise]

15. She deserves to enjoy her victory and

She played the better tennis today wit or without the umpire 's folly

[oasis]

16. Rip off!

19. Maybe like primaries in NY-14 and MA-7, ...

... it's time for youth to win.

But, I expect to see a good run from Serena in January in Australia.
