NAOMI OSAKA WINS U.S. OPEN AFTER WILLIAMS MELTDOWN

nepalnewsgazette.com September 9, 2018     Comment Closed     Games

Naomi Osaka became the first Japanese to win a Grand Slam singles title, Saturday, as her idol Serena Williams angrily imploded, calling the chair umpire in the US Open final "a thief."

Osaka, 20, triumphed 6-2, 6-4 in the match, marred by Williams's second set outburst, the American enraged by umpire Carlos Ramos's warning for receiving coaching from her box. When a second code violation for racquet abuse was handed out to her -- along with a point penalty -- Williams exploded.

She tearfully accused him of being a "thief" and angrily demanded an apology from the official. "You're attacking my character," she said. "You will never, ever be on another court of mine. You are the liar," she fumed and Ramos handed her a game penalty for a third violation -- verbal abuse -- that put Osaka one game from victory at 5-3 in the second set.

Williams won the next game, and continued her tearful remonstration with a supervisor on the changeover. But Osaka -- who displayed not only a stellar game but remarkable poise throughout -- held serve to seal a historic win for her country.

"It doesn't really feel that real right now. Maybe in a few days I'll realise what I've done," said Osaka, adding that, the noise was so great in Arthur Ashe Stadium and her focus so single-minded that she wasn't fully aware of the escalating controversy. "When I turned around it was 5-3, so I was a little bit confused then," she said of the game suddenly awarded to her.

"I felt like I had to focus. She's such a great champion so I know she can come back from any point."
