I love how Naomi took a step back on returns. Such a little tweak to her game but a major difference. She also looks more comfortable on this surface.
Tennis brilliance, openness with mental illness, strong social conscience, gentle to a fault. She's unique.
Yes I agree
Her movement is way much better this time.
I noticed that step too. Definitely helps to start that motion early. I will try that while training my daughter.
Naomi is definitely improved. If she keeps this form she could end the year with another grand slam
Nope she is a goner
Naomi is almost back to her previous best... hope she wins more grand slam and gaining back her No.1 position. Potapova is also playing well. She will be a strong contender.
Osaka looked way fitter now and her movements improved. Good for her.
It is perfectly noticeable that when your mental health improves, everything or almost everything around you also improves. Naomi looks in better shape and it's wonderful to see how she has more patience, how she laughs at her mistakes and is not negative with herself. I honestly think she could have a great game on any surface but she has to stay focused, positive and calm. Her first serve lately is insane although in this match I got nervous many times when she stayed at the net due to the force with which she threw it 😹. I hope this was the first step to go far in this tournament.
Mental Health.... LOL. When Next Big Thing IGA returns, she will destroy this wannabe,
Really? Second round she wasn't doing very much laughing. And patience? Uh, no.
@@m.w.976 - she played though being injured - that was obvious. Most of the other players would have withdrawn.
Naomi’s serve speed is INSANE. 201 km/h is like jaw dropping!!!!!!
She also hit a 202
202
Madrid = altitude, thinner air -> faster balls
@@userdjee834 faster compared to other clay courts but it’s still clay
@@bellajane8742 serve speed is measured by radar in air, immediately off the racquet, clay doesn't have anything to do with measured serve speed. but yes, clay is still clay of course
Naomi looked really good. That serve is dangerous on any surface, so glad to see it be a factor here. Clean, decisive hitting. Seems like the strategy is to play as little defense as possible and possibly give points away in hopes of saving energy. I’m very interested to see how she does the rest of the tournament.
already a FAR better and decisive start to last year’s clay court swing for naomi 💪 hope to see her conquer this surface!
Wait. What? She said that or?
@@cosminciornei7049 What is confusing about this…?
@@ryan-wc5yn she can have more years ahead of playing in her career. She can t win RG or yeah but she can play some years on clay for a little points and juat for that
@@ryan-wc5yn a little yeah a little no but i didn t hear something official about that it s her last clay season and that s why i asked
@@cosminciornei7049 You misunderstand. They are saying last year, as in, 2021. Naomi will still play on clay lol
Naomi's energy level was sustained throughout the match. Great win today!😊
I feel like naomi is getting her groove back. If you watch the whole match she added more spin to her shots and her movement seemed more natural than forced
Great to see Naomi playing so well on the clay, best I have seen here play on this surface, she seems in a good place which is a relief, Naomi will soon be back in the top 5 and challenging for the big titles once again,
Huge congratulations to Naomi on her first foray on clay surface! She looks fit, comfortable and more confident on clay now! Salute! And also congratulations to Anastasia P.
Great performance Osaka this serve is back her speed is back her mental is almost back she is gonna be a force this clay season
Good to see Osaka playing well and happy
Vamos Osaka, mi favorita después de Barty, eres mi jugadora preferida, levántate tienes todo para seguir triunfando.
Eres muy buena jugadora.
Да она уже никакая!! Ей вообще ничего не нужно уже..🤣🌺🤣
I just love to see you come back to world number 1 level and wish the best to you and have a good time for yourself in Madrid.
Naomi looks great, her outfit is outstanding. What a beauty. I've been watching naomi playing tennis since 2015, naomi can play on any surface. The only reason why she doesn't perform good on clay and grass is negativity. Great first serve win matches. Don't go for too much 110-115 will do it. Naomi is very athletic. What a phenom. The one to beat. Nao
@@doommonger7784 nothing else but the truth.
Adoration? Can we not enjoy when our faves play well? Go be negative on someone else’s post!
@@allenjoseph8759 Agree 100%!
Any day this disgusting toad wins is a sad day 😢
That drip is 🔥 and she played really well
Those serves were insane bravo naomi 😘
Love them when they display their true potential ❤️
A lot of zip in her serves and returns, like line drives. Speed and accuracy. Great performance.
Me alegra que Naomi este recuperando su nivel que tenía antes, ella es grandiosa jugando y yo la quiero ver en la final..!!!🙏 ❤️
I see some changes...she is being more patient. That run around forehand return. wow! I hope she does that more to crush the return. Plus her serve and outfit were fire
When Osaka's 1st serve is working as it did, everything else seems to follow and she's on a roll. Looking good for RG 2020. Looking forward to RG2020!
you mean 2022??😀
Noami`s serves have gotten insanely better since her last tournament !
That match point *chef's kiss*
Osaka seems like she is starting to develop the controlled aggression Andre Agassi had towards the latter half of his career. That is to play tight tennis, punish the ground strokes so you will not be attacked too much and most importantly NOT MISS. To do this, especially on clay courts, she will need to be prepared mentally to really grind. Some of her winners still seem a tad risky to me. When she loses matches it seems it's more a case of too many errors. Was so impressed with Agassi's latter half of his career. As a young kid he bashed balls everywhere and had good and bad days. As he matured he just worked really, really hard and gave his opponents no free points while staying aggressive himself. If he lost, it was because the opponent played unbelievable and not because Agassi ever gave up or gave away easy points.
Yes, I see a similar game with Ostapenko. Yes, you have to be mentally and physically prepared because those ground strokes require high speed and baseline hits. Those players can also fire lots of missed balls. Naomi is gaining that confidence back. Good for her knowing she doesn't have as much success on clay as she has on hard surfaces.
what a match point by Naomi... just perfect
Great to see Naomi on court!
Solid win here for Osaka, Potapova has been playing some REALLY solid ball in teh past few weeks and making a name for herself.
That and she won a title last week on the same surface
@@bellajane8742 That short ago? I knew she won something but thought it was like a month ago or something. Yeesh, my time perception is garbage! lol. Tks for the info!
@@corgeousgeorge Yes, just last April 24 in Istanbul at a WTA 250 event, beating fellow Russian tennis player, Veronika Kudermetova.
202 kmh serve by naomi , wow!
ringtone soundtrack 1:57
When Naomi is on I don't think there is anyone who can beat her. She looks so good.
She looks very goooooooood
Iga can beat her easyly
@@rahmatkarya5571 I like them both but right now with the right mindset from Naomi, I think it will be a decider, meaning not easily beaten by Iga (as you said)!
@@almanns.batiao9516 agree too
@@almanns.batiao9516 Iga JUST BEAT HER a few weeks ago - straight sets, with a bagel in the second set --- on Osaka's dominant surface. The End.
Love Naomi's smile and kind heart ! no arrogance and such a humble girl ! Good luck !!
I agree with this, I noticed it too
She’s the most humble athlete in the 🌍. She carries herself very well for being so highly criticized. Tennis is better with her. Love to see her playing so well.
@@aiylacarson you're absolutely right. Tennis is definitely better with Naomi playing at the peak of her powers.
Great effort from Potopova fighting through qualifiers and taking a title right before this tournament. Solid play from Naomi as well.
Naomi whooped her butt
Osaka's sever is really impressive same speed with some male players
I hope for the game's sake that Naomi can relax and dominate the way she can. Iga needs a strong rival.
Lost some kilos. It shows. Good to see Osaka motivated again!
Wowwwww that Naomi serve is killin it!!!my!!naomi played very well today!!well done n the outfit is lovely u go girlllllllll!!!
A convincing win for Naomi against a solid performer!Her shorts were also spot on!It was a lovely match to ponder!!!
when Osaka smile , she looks loveable , when she not smile, She means business
Naomi is amazing she has evrything and i wona see her Winer.. And thx 🇪🇸 for oportunity for the wild cart very smart to invite osaka in the tornament
Naomiii 😍 that outfit is 🔥 love seeing her play the way she did today. Gets gooo!!!
One of those rare instances where you'd feel happy for both players. Naomi's shots were so crisp and clean as always. Totally dominated her opponent playing on a surface which she's not so comfortable with. Expected a bit more of a fight from Nastya Potapova as she was in form. Fatigue could've been a factor too. But the good thing is that she could learn a lot from this defeat against a top class player as she still has a long way to go. Age is on her side. I follow both players and wish them best of luck for the remainder of the season.
Naomi , perfect perform 👍
she's ready
Great match 👏 rooting for ur improvement on clay well done 👏
Iga found her footing and rhthym on hard court, while Naomi seems more comfortable and moving so much better on clay. This will be interesting. 😊
Like I said before technically Naomi is still the best player in the world at least playing (there's Serena out) if she's 100% but that's not the case anyway she still can beat almost every player even on her worse surface that's clay. Unlucky draw for Potapova also playing so bad didn't help herself.
mentality is her biggest hurdle. Consumed by media and endorsements and Hollywood. lots of money but clearly has had some drawbacks from it.
Great job Naomi!
Tennis friends: Naomi noted that she was learning from Nadal’s game for clay play. Would you tell me in this clip where she may be implementing any of Nadal’s game? I can’t tell and would like to know! So cool she is utilizing some of his style to get even better!
On match point she ran around her backhand, in order to hit the return with her forehand. That’s something that Nadal does.
@@loccotony ok thanks Tony!
@@loccotony that’s something that every professional tennis player is taught to do. You do not have to have Nadal as your idol to run around your backhand lmfao
@@amandacerny8145 reading comprehension please. I did not say that *only* Nadal does that. Of course, all pro players learn to do that, but some do it more often than others. Are you contesting that Nadal is particularly notorious for doing that? I don't even understand what was your point, tbh.
@@loccotony my point is that you’re making everything about Nadal when this is a video of Naomi. Nadal runs around his backhand when the ball is hit. Naomi, before Potapova made contact with the ball, changed position. That’s not particularly running around your backhand, but seeing where the opponent is gonna hit the serve. Not you being butthurt that I’m right
Osaka is back in her old form. Just don't understand why all the drama!!! No doubt she's much better than Emma.. I hope both will go up against each other..
She will win the US Open this year. That s for sure.
Osaka did an excellent work today, and I could see that you’re prepared very well for it!
Me gusta la actitud y seguridad para jugar de Osaka. Favorita para llevarse el torneo
Naomi really needs to focus on efficient moving. Her hitting will take care of itself, but she needs to get better at reaching for those balls at the corners of the court. It was pretty evident in her Miami final against Swiatek, who exposed that movement.
...and yet she's won four grand slams. That's more than any body else on tour and she's only 24 years old.
U are absolutely right but I believe she will get there
@@dominicdominic I think she will too. Movement is pivotal on all surfaces but especially on clay.
7:38 Osaka has the sweetest smile!!! 😀😘😃
I love watching Naomi 🇯🇵😍❤️
Well done 💓
Potapova has the most unluckiest draws ever
True lol
Idol 👏👏
Kudermetova beat Osaka, Potapova beat Kudermetova, Osaka beat Potapova. The cycle of tennis in nature.
So many aces! Osaka! 🤩
wonderful
Let’s go Osaka 🔥🔥💪💪
Many congratulations 💓
Great job from Naomi! However she needs to keep working on her movement. I’m afraid once her opponent makes her move, that’ll expose her weakness.
7:28 How could Osaka predict the serve so that she ended up hitting with the forehand?
Naomi service game was so crisp today
although its not the best but good enough to win, very sharpe and clean play ! soon she will return to the top ! happy for Naomi
Tomorrow is French Open. Unfortunately she was injured the last two weeks so not ideal form to play someone as good as in form Anisimova. But her mind seems so much clearer If her body holds up she will be a force this year.
If anyone can outmatch Iga it would have to be Osaka on her good day!! 👏👏👏
As far as know, 1ga and Naomi are truly good Friends
and let it last forever! Regardless the result (if They play soon against Themselves), let Them continue playing with the Respect to each other and with this mentioned Friendship. Nothing better than this. Would you agree with me, Shane? I'm slightly drunk due to long week and finally Friday turned up...
@@krzysztofkubicki7192 True both are super wonderful ladies with good attitude and behaviour on and off court! 🍺🍺🍺
We need such champions to promote the game for the younger generation to come 👍
With ease. No friendship match
I agree!! nobody is beating an in form Osaka not even Iga….Osaka just needs her confidence back and matches under her belt…she looks fitter then when she played in Miami I’m assuming she didn’t like the fact she lost knew she had to step it up! Only time will tell I guess.
@@shane6326 Thank you Shane for agreeing with me. My heart, off course, beats for 1ga. You are right - beyond the court these ladies are very fantastic Persons: no posh behaviour, no noses up, just very nice Girls. And let the best win. Have a lovely weekend, Mate. Greetings from UK.
Go Naomi chan.. this title is yours for the taking.. be the best player that you were once on the top..
Very well played, Naomi’s shots were working and she used her serve very well. I hope that in future she incorporates the backhand slice into her game though.
She doesn't dice and doesn't slice. She chops.
Estas jugando muy bien Naomi ánimo
Osaka Goooooo come on 💪👍
naomi's outfit is so cool, tho!
just. wow.
Hope she continues to improve....her game was always there ..getting back .her mental strength is the thing ....fans have been nervous for her not knowing what might happen .
It’s the best show point at the last of the game!
💪👏👏👏👏OSAKA
Go osaka
Ozarka's clay game coming together
Simple hard hitter will not trouble Osaka cause she will outhit them all
Congrats for another signature victory to the Japanese tennis queen Naomi Osaka who regardless of her young age has the mentality of a very wise and adult world class tennis lady .
I love her off court style but I love this outfit on court finally
Osaka tiene potencial MUJER vamos levanta la cabeza
Fit... 👌👌👌👌💜💜💜🇿🇦🇿🇦
I love you Naomi! Good job!
Naomi, love that attitude of playing the game, you are related and having found on the Tennis Court, ( positive ).
Good performance from Naomi.
Naomi Osaka has double the slams of Halep and Muguruza. She has one more than Kerber, Lindsey Davenport, capriati..
Osaka is already tied with Clijsters and Sanchez Vicario
But why does it feel like Naomi is still this young upstart trying to prove her game to the world...
When she beat Muguruza, Serena, and Brady to win the Australian 2021, her fourth slam , Naomi had the aura of a four time slam winner and #1 player, but after her losses to Anisimova in Australia and Swiatek in Miami Naomi has the aura of a 16th seed rn
Dear WTA: Please do not subject us to the broadcasting horror of Stephanie Dubois ever again. It's bad enough that she makes the most insipid comments, but it is made worse by the fact that her English is unbelievably lame. She is not, and has not been, broadcast-ready ever, yet she keeps popping up in the color commentary rotation. Basically, she ruins these highlights. Do not give broadcasting work to people just because they are former players. She wasn't even that good, come to think of it. Thank you for the highlights, and I hope my comments will inspire you to do what is necessary to improve the broadcasts of your sport.
I AM LOVE OSAKA
Good job Princesse Osaka tu es formidable chère j'aime te voir sur le terrain. Je t'aime Naomi😘😘😘
Electronic coin toss and line calling should be the way to go for all tennis events. And for all those who are wondering if the electronic coin toss is really random, logic tells me that it is 100% random. The program that does it is quite simple but certainly expensive. It is surely designed to have random outcomes out of only two possible results and there is no way anybody can tamper with it unless he makes changes to the source code, which only the original programmer can do. And in the WTA, honestly, the outcome of the toss doesn't even matter as most players prefer to receive.
Wait, how in the world does Osaka anticipate 7:30, is it not noteworthy really, 🤷🏽..
NAOMI IS BACK
Good luck Naomi u can do this..
Beautiful 😍
If she keeps her mentality healthy, she'll be the best one.
come on Osaka 🎾🎾🎾
