MELBOURNE, Australia — Naomi Osaka defeated Petra Kvitova, 7-6 (2), 5-7, 6-4, on Saturday to win the Australian Open and become the first Japanese player to attain the No. 1 singles ranking in women’s tennis.

It was the second consecutive major title for the fourth-seeded Osaka, 21, who defeated Serena Williams in straight sets at the United States Open in September. The last woman to win back-to-back Grand Slam singles titles was Williams, who claimed the first three majors in 2015.

My newest crush. I have become interested again in tennis simply because of her.

As for boxing, Anthony Joshua and his team should stop dodging and give us something to talk about. How come heavyweight boxing has become so dry?

Everyone have a potential to succeed when placed in the right environment.

I still don't understand what you are getting at here. Someone said she is black to which you replied she is japanese insinuating that she is not.

Is she black or NOT?

Black girls rock. All hail the new Queen of tennis.

***Potential Racist spotted*** shocked

Must it always be about the colour of one's skin? Aren't there dumb and smart people among every race or skin complexion?? Does being black or white automatically confer smartness on people? I just weak for some people shaa undecided

"Many of them didn't attend school"

It's always easy to spot an illiterate agbero on this forum.

Education is the single most influential factor that has shaped the modern world. If you don't like education you can always relocate to Northern Nigeria where you will fit right in.

many of them didn't attend school. School is not by force. It's Africans that carried education on their head like dada.

Someone has come to retire Serena.

As hard it might be for some of us you are absolutely right.

Naomi is the new queen. I just wished she never represented Japan because it is the US that actually moulded her.

At 21 Serena held the four grand slam title and she did it twice. Let's see what she can do. Funnily enough, she's coach by a guy who formerly was Serena's hitting partner.

The jury is still out on her.

At just 21, 2nd grand slam and counting. This girl is going to be a force to reckon with, I hope she keeps up with the momentum.

Re: Naomi Osaka Wins Australia Open; Becomes World No 1 (Photo) by Originalsly: 1:54pm On Jan 26, 2019
Great job!... just hope she follows in Serena's footsteps for a long lasting career. Being ranked #1 was not Venus and Serena's priority..... they skipped many tournaments that would put them there...but instead just chose to play the big money matches...less tournaments...less wear and tear....longer tournament life. The racist Whites would not like this..... after waiting impatiently sooo long for a White to dethrone Venus and Serena ....here comes another Black... that seems unstoppable. I know they will now be digging up dirt on her or her family.

i wrote that as a typical Nigerian. And many sport personality didn't have even basic education(Western education in this case) and does that mean they are not some major influence that are reshapening this world? They knew what they wanted and went for it unlike Africans that knows what they want but would still be forced to go for education while wasting time and resources. If Christiano and Messi were to go for education when they enrolled at academys, how old would they be before trying to go back to pursue their football dreams? Would it not be late by then? Case of many Africans with special talents. Neymar, Osaka Naomi herself and many of them. If Africans can start putting this technique into use, we will have lesser problem. Just like the first person i replied said, if Naomi was to be a Nigerian, she'd leave high school at prolly 16, 17, Jamb factor, UTME factor, get admission at prolly 19, 20 and then ASUU factor and all, graduate at 25, 26 and then she'd join the league of job seeker. But now she's 21 and already number 1 in the tennis world. Her dad is educated but why didn't he choose to force education on them too? It's better to go for what you want/believe than wasting time with some imported believes.

Unfortunately, Japan have claimed her.
Removing every trace of blackness.
As long as she identifies herself as half Haitian, she is black.

So praising my kind makes me a racist or being pro black automatically means I'm a racist?. My grand father was mixed and it didn't stop him from becoming a chief in my town. I don't hate white people or any other race.
