Jennifer Brady vs Naomi Osaka Championship Match Highlights (F) | Australian Open 2021

I sure hope so, it’s sad to see press conferences of 30 to 50 minutes. We tennis lovers want to see the matches..

@TalentRoller 44 who are you to tell me to quit complaining. 😅

@Adithya Vasudevan you are stupid

@Adithya Vasudevan agreed they are so dumb they own the ttournament so why restrictions??!!

@farid 92 lol

She’s a great tennis player, but doesn’t find anyone else it weird as well that she’s being labeled as a Japanese player?. I’m yet to see that she’s actually given up her US citizenship. I find it odd as well that she wants to be a Japanese considering that she doesn’t even seem to be able to hold a basic conversation in Japanese or answer Japanese media questions in Japanese. Regardless of her heritage and of being born in Japan, she left Japan when she was like 3 years old and has been living in the US ever since. I doubt that she actually gave up her US citizenship as she ‚officially‘ stated before turning 21. She would have to pay a huge US exit tax, then get a green card or O -type visa to live in the US just to pay US taxes again. Besides, dual citizenship holders do not need to give up one citizenship to compete in the Olympics. My guess is the Japanese government is tacitly agreeing to her keeping her US citizenship as long as she ‚officially‘ states she’s competing under the Japanese flag. Based on my personal experience living in Japan for a very long time, the government likes to apply special rules to famous people as long as they can raise the country’s profile and be claimed as one of their very own. Considering that there’s a lot of discrimination going on in Japan towards foreigners or mixed Japanese people, it is a bit hypocritical how Naomi Osaka is being embraced there. I doubt the situation would be the same if she wasn’t famous. It is also very interesting to see how Osaka speaks out against racism in the States and such while never saying a word about wide-spread cultural racism in Japan. Then again Japanese sponsors don’t like seeing their protégés voicing political views. It is a big no-no in Japan. Also, why doesn’t she move to Japan is she’s intend on proclaiming her Japanese citizenship?

Brady is so unbelievable not attractive.

With all the talk of equality for women....why is it that the women's Grand Slam tournament is not, like the men, a best of three sets competition?

The scandalous breath enzymatically groan because cry interestingly intend via a abaft examination. towering, equable twist

俺的に大阪がセリーナに見える

No chance. Yeah, she's beaten Serena at age 38/39 (way after her prime). That's not saying much.

Naomi is from Japan

Got any pizza if so your in with a chance .....she lost me with the anime thing any adult that watches that is not my type....

australia has no covid cases

Pasate con los chuntaros o aprende a escribir ingles menso !

Kind of ......when she was 3years old...

There are a few reasons that female tennis players play best of three sets while the males play five sets (in Grand Slam tournaments*). Tradition - The first and most relevant reason is tradition. For the most part, the women have always played best of three sets. This is probably rooted in the outdated and sexist notion that the additional exertion is too much for women to handle. The exception to this is that the US Championships (the predecessor to the US Open) featured best of five set play for the women briefly, from 1891 - 1901 (except for 1893). But generally speaking, the women have never played five sets in significant tournaments, and tennis tends to cling to tradition. This tradition is unlikely to change because: Tournament directors don’t want longer matches - Tournament directors gain very little from matches being longer. Despite selling slightly more merchandise at their concessions (most of which doesn’t go to the tournament organizers anyway), tournament directors have almost no motivation to have longer matches, and quite a bit to shorten them. Longer matches mean scheduling nightmares and less predictability in terms of match times. This unpredictability can lead to greater costs for the tournaments and a lower likelihood of getting televised. They want to be able to maximize their earnings and minimize expenses. More best of five matches does the opposite. The sport’s governing bodies and the television networks want shorter matches - The leadership of the ATP and WTA tours are very concerned with the marketability of the sport (and rightly so). Being able to provide an attractive package to television sponsors and fans is critical to their goals, and obviously those of the networks, too. Best of five set matches greatly increase the length and variability of match times, making the product far more difficult to televise and far harder to sell the rights to. Fans actually don’t want to watch the women play five sets - Although many vocal fans claim to want to see the women play five set matches, the data suggest otherwise. The WTA tour actually experimented with a best of 5 format in the 80's and 90's. From 1984 to 1998, the tour's year end championships were best of 5 sets, although only three of those matches went the distance. The format was discontinued in 1998 due to poor ratings and difficulty in scheduling and generating interest from television. It had also been argued that in most of the matches, the quality of play dropped considerably later in the matches. The players don’t really want to play five setters - The tour is a brutal grind. Players are being taxed physically more and more each year, as the level of play and physicality rises. And there is precious little offseason in which to recover. The last thing most players want is to have to play even more tennis, and increase their chance of injury while reducing their recovery time. The men tolerate it because of tradition, and because it would be a bad look to suggest shortening their matches. But many of the men don’t want to play best of five tennis. And very few of the women really want to start now. Despite what some players might say to reporters for various reasons (e.g. good publicity), the majority don’t want to play any more than they already do. Most of the supposed eagerness for women to play best of five is either from retired players who are now spokespeople or announcers with an agenda to support (e.g. Billie Jean King, Martina Navratilova, etc.) or male players who simply want the women to have to do as much work as they do (e.g. Andy Murray, Gilles Simon). *It’s worth noting that best of five set tennis is all but a novelty now even on the men’s circuit. Only a handful of tournaments still offer the best of five set format, with the men playing best of three at most of their tournaments throughout the year. Tournament directors, television executives, and many others involved with the money side of tennis have been pushing hard to shorten tennis matches and get rid of everything from the best of five format, to lets, to final sets at all.

The swirling breeze inside the arena affected their shots. One of the balls of Brady even went by in front of Osaka. That's why they have to redo their toss so many times.

Nerves my man. Windy out there.

What the hell are you babbling about?

In your dreams!

@Lorraine Lloyd it's basically how she reacts in the court towards other people even when she is loosing I can't say the same thing about Serena , remember kids watch all the details !!!!!!!!!!

Lol, you're obviously oblivious to this girl's life off the court.

@Ijul Kipli Not. Osaka was my favorite. Osaka and Brady played an awful tennis. Maybe they were nervous.

Bitter because your bet did not reach finals? Osaka vs Muguruza was a Final like match.

🙄

Well, where are they now? Look at the most difficult draw? It was Naomi who handled so much pressure. It could have been Muguruza in the Final but Naomi keep her cool under pressure. It was nerves on both players and wind kind of distract them. Both have powerful serves, Naomi just was aggresive in the 2nd set. Didn't want to give Brady a chance.

the tennis world has celebrated the Williams sisters for decades and they don't want to "see people of color win"? Absurd. Osaka gets nothing but praise from commentators and Brady didn't do anything to disrespect her. Brady is just a tough competitor that wanted to win her first major. Branding her a racist is ridiculous and totally unfair. If she has any ill will at all, I'd bet it has to do with Osaka's talent, not race.

@PrettyNana PrettyNana But that means Naomi also didn't shake hands, doesn't it? It's not like Jennifer refused to shake hands when Naomi approached her. They both didn't try to shake hands. Then why do you see only Jennifer as bad? Isn't it because you believe it's a white person's job to offer a handshake to a black person but not vice versa? Also, even if she hated Naomi for some reason as you implied, why do you automatically assume the reason she hates her is because she is partly black? What if she hates her Japanese side? Or some other aspect of her? You clearly hate white people. You're the racist.

I absolutely adore NAOMI OSAKA🙌🏽👑💕🎾🏆

That man face Jennifer is a known racist, thats why she never touched hands with Naomi, when playing other whites she shakes hands😏 Very ugly inside and out that Brady, and 98% of those commentators are racist also, it burns their soul to see people of color WIN. That man face @JenniferBrady definitely tried it with that comment, Naomi is a grown woman, not a girl.

It was poor judgement on the USTA, good for Naomi to go for Japan. So far, that is FOUR KICKS on their faces. More to come. HAHAHAHA

@Lorraine Lloyd no USTA wasn't interested in her. probably because she had an Asian last name, America doesn't give a shit about Asian athletes

Is it because she turned her back like a whiney ignoramous and deserted the country who gave her the opportunity to get where she is to play for and represent Japan???
