NAOMI, STAY WITH IT BABY! JUST STAY ON OFFENSE! WHEN YOU ARE BEING AGGRESSIVE TOWARD THE BALL YOU WIN! KEEP THAT IN MIND! THE "NET PLAY" IS YOUR "UPWARD MOBILITY"! DON'T RUN FROM IT! LEAN IN AND KEEP GETTING BETTER! THERE IS NOTHING WRONG! JUST KEEP DOING IT! WHEN IT'S "NATURAL" TO STAY BASELINE, YOUR BODY WILL TELL YOU! Y-E-A-H! DO SOME BACK AND LEG STRETCHES: PARTICULARLY THE QUADS! MOTHERS BODIES LOSE FLEXIBILITY BECAUSE THE BODY WANT TO PRESERVE YOU SKELETAL MUSCLES FOR CHILD BIRTH! NOW THAT THE SWEET ANGEL IS HERE–IT'S OKAY TO RELAX THEM! THAT WILL HELP WITH YOUR "STRETCHING"–REACHING–FOR THE BALL! DON'T WORRY–YOU'RE OKAY! YOUR SERVE IS COMING BACK! GO WITH IT! ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK! MUCH LOVE!
This cannot get worse. Like HOW????
Is good Osaka actually comes to the net
How can Collins retire this year? She's got game.
Naomi seems like she's lost the ability to read where her opponent is going to place the ball, coupled with lack of movement to actually CHASE the ball, and she's kind of done as long as her opponent doesn't get tripped up by a powerful forehand/backhand (in the rare occasion they place it right where she is). A big, big fall in form from a player who self-described herself as a counter puncher when she was rising to the top.
She has a coaching crew who know the quality of all these other players. They stop putting her in these situations
Is she wearing leather ? In Saudi Arabia dessert ? Leather?
lets go collins beat this woke cry baby.
Collins has a great game. When she's healthy. When she's on. She has what it takes to win a major, IMO, but she has missed her chances, and now has announced retirement after this year. We'll always wonder what might have been, but for now it is fun to watch her bossing opponents around.
GO COLLINS!!!!❤❤❤❤
too sad that this is collins's last season. she has so much potential
Osaka is not showing great lateral movements and can't sustain long rallies. She needs to keep working on her conditioning more.
Osaka looked fine first set….nothing to panic about yet….
Can Naomi get back to the heights she reached before? Theres nothing to stop her physically or skillwise but it's going to be all about her mind and attitude. Right now I don't see any desire or determination. If that doesn't come her career will just peter out.
challenger is the key
first of all, collins is an extremely tough draw. secondly, just more of the same Osaka , quitting and mailing it in if there is any hardship.
Go D!
OMG! Her entire coaching team should be fired. This is just embarrassing.
Collins shud get Ostapenko,….and you will see where are you!
wow barley any audience
nice
so happy she lost
hope no more trophies for her
Danielle is not a Georgia peach, I know, but that was a peach of a match.
When you bagel a former 4 time Grand Slam champ, well, you've done something. C'mon, Naomi, now a mum, now matter what happens at work, it'll just get better from here. Go Naomi Osaka!
Naomi’s movement is awkward. Her body language looks desperate. If she is still mentally weak, she may probably retires soon.
All tennis fans do is whine and moan. She took 16 months off it's going to take months for Osaka to find some form.
Osaka will cry foul and blame others for her “emotional baggage” when in fact she’s the one to blame. Personal responsibility. Hopefully she will work on the other part of her game which is highly relevant for a pro athlete. Her brain.
The game has past her even before this comeback. Quit while you are way ahead.
Collins is a fiesty character.
im an osaka fan but she needs to play 250's, you can't really improve if you're playing only the top tournaments and max reaching 2nd round
When was Osaka's baby born?….coming back from that is hard work…
Once Naomi gets back in form she will surpass Serena in gs wins
That movement is tragic from Osaka, no chance to compete with this kind of physique…
Danielle should have gotten someone to retool her forehand
Collins is playing great. Osaka still far away from her best. Needs more time to get there.
Osaka should retire…mentally weak and will never be able to reach major success again.
o sacked!
I am thrilled Collins spanked her ass. Osaka has become a joke.
