The loser took at the end of the winner in the Arm
She desperately wanted to play against Serena and had before the Match, yet a message for her role model: “I love you.” But if you want to get to the top, one must not overdo it with the worship of the heroine on the other side. And so the young Japanese woman, Naomi Osaka, 20 made, on this Saturday in Arthur Ashe Stadium to New York to get their Idol from the Pedestal. And since you didn’t know that they would experience on this day, a Drama.
The rich sound of the balls
After 34 minutes Osaka had won the first set. 6:2. It was not like she played Serena Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam winner, bad. But the young woman on the other side, unlike the other opponents in the tournament, not from the place to shoot. A Cross, a long Forehand, an angle, a point for Osaka. DTB-trainer Barbara Williams, who has served as a commentator for the channel “Eurosport” on the edge of the Courts, said in between at the rich sound of the balls could remember, which have the extraordinary quality of this game.
Pitched and won: Naomi Osaka
Long ago, the Arthur-Ashe-Stadium had become a cauldron. Tennis in New York – which also had to do this afternoon local time, nothing to do with the quiet Sport, the one carries about in Wimbledon.

A game that you have to count in any case, one of the best Matches of the tennis year 2018. By the way, with the involvement of the Matches played by men such as Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic.
Unauthorized Coaching
But then something, what is the game of not was happened. Men played sudden a role: Osaka’s Coach, the German Sascha Bajin, has long done as a training partner in the Team of Serena labor. It may be that no one was able to set his player, the better on the 36-year-old Williams as Bajin. And on the other side: Star coach Patrick Mouratoglou. The Serena Williams at the beginning of the second movement, with covert signals to coach trying. According to the official rules: cheating! Chair umpire Carlos Ramos warned the player, and warned you again later, as Williams out of Trouble your racket hacked. Williams got upset and barely starting again: “I’d rather loose than cheat.” I would would rather lose than to cheat. However, there was a point deduction.
You got a warning for coaching ….
… then, because you chopped your racket …
… and then she called the umpire a liar. “You are the liar.” Penalty point!
Maybe both are true. May Williams has not cheated. But when she called the chair umpire later on when changing page as a liar, there was even a game of deduction as a penalty for Williams.
Tears in the eyes
Great uproar, the referee and the supervisor was called. Serena Williams got completely out of. Had tears in my eyes.

Osaka has won high deserves. And I cried at the end about her biggest success. “Thank you for watching the match.” Thank you for the course you said you intimidated at times unfair audience.
