2018 Miami Second Round | Naomi Osaka vs. Elina Svitolina | WTA Highlights

[@ordinaryguy6869]

Congratulations to Elina Svitolina! I really like it when the big hitters get beat. It would be a sad day for tennis when only the power hitters win. Svitolina can run down just about any ball - and she can hit winners too. This is a huge win for her.

[@DeepSeas..]

Svitolina almost always takes out the favorites and top players. She should have multiple grand slams by now.

[@djordjenikolic9059]

Lol

[@MJ-dh6pu]

Svitolina is an adaptive All Round player. She can go hardcore offensive or total defensive, depends on what kind of opponent she plays against. At least that's what i see in the last 18 months

[@bayuadrian1638]

Who comes here after Svitolina lose from Osaka in AO 2019?

[@MJ-dh6pu]

I knew Svitolina was gonna win !! I love Osaka, but tbh Svitolina got a better speed and agility. Glad to see her back 😍

[@brenchengbrencheng4794]

Says who? 3 years later, Naomi with 4 GS

[@gurudevelpr]

I think were looking at the beginning of a Rivalry! Good Run Osaka! Good Win Svitolina! WTA #1

[@thaijulian8698]

Hello, don't blame on Osaka because Svitolina obviously is better player.I don't watch tennis match in one year because I am a fan of Sharapova, but she lost her rythm and now I found Svitolina , her backhand and and baseline ball are simmilar to Shara's ball.In addition, she has a good defense from Angelique Kerber with smart moves. So no matter how well Osaka plays she will get trouble when face Svitolina. Normally Osaka gets the point when her opponents make mistake , but Svitolina play very well and she works hard with each point. Just watch Dubai 2018 when Osaka lead 3-1 in second set and then she lost 4-6 at the end , you can see how well Svitolina come back the match.she is a briliant player, I think I will be her fan now

[@markanthonycore4081]

Why are people so shocked by this loss? Svitolina is the number 4 player, she was favourite here, has a better H2H against Osaka. People need to chill!

[@Make_Australia_British_Again]

they were 2-2 before this match

[@thaijulian8698]

2 for Osaka in 2016, 2 for Svitolina in 2018. Now you see what is the difference, Svitolina improved, it's over

[@lemanmohammad]

Julian Thai , Now 2018 Naomi 2-0 Serena now you see how Naomi improved Games over !Serena is getting older and retire soon

[@FloidMr]

Gongrats, Elina! From Russia :)

[@lesandres23]

Amazing movement from Svitolina!

[@Kishnabe]

Osaka, Muguruza and Svitolina will be the future of tennis for a few years.Not a bad loss.

[@ramonamezei80]

Muguruzaaa?hahaha

[@Kishnabe]

2 Slam Champion and Number 1. Think she will find the right balance to dominate.

[@sanctuary70]

I was so happy to see the only good news for Puerto Rico -Monica Puig make such a comeback to overwhelm Woszniaki...what a match! Venus' win also made me happy and Aggie Radwanska over Halep. Venus and Aggie always have that special touch! Yeah, and who was that female rocket that ended Osaka 's winning streak? ¡ BayaMonica Puig my fellow Boriqua!

[@alexiacookie573]

What a fantastic macht! 😊

[@stemar6519]

Congrats Elina!

[@comunidadaerea2400]

Osaka in her best style. Nothing amazing. She was one wonder hit in Indian Wells.

[@elisecolby2890]

Naomi Osaka u just cant stop watching her! She is great don’t get me wrong Elina Svitolina is incredible but Naomi is just outstanding even if she loses!

[@dajuice2011]

This woman played Osaka smart!!! Sometimes taking pace away from a big hitter does wonders!!!!

[@Hussein_Nur]

Tough luck to Osaka. Congratulations to Svitolina.

[@Delivor212]

Wow, Svitolina is amazingly good! Osaka was doing great in first set, but Elina just completely break her!

[@djordjenikolic9059]

Lol! Osaka has 2 slams,while Elina has zerrow 😂😂😂

[@aleshemel666]

Hey guys! How would you describe Svitolina's tennis style? Because I can't really define it.

[@antediluvian9144]

freestyle

[@lll4599]

Aleksei Meleshenko I think Svitolina has definitely improved on speed and she defends and attacks really well - very very competitive too 😏

[@Ben-mi9nl]

Aleksei Meleshenko pusher

[@jasonmartino9414]

Fast moving wall

[@lesandres23]

Defensively patient and then... Winner!

[@Luna-17]

Well that’s a disappointing end, but few things to consider: A. Fatigue from winning a 1st and massive career title the previous week. B. Emotional fatigue from beating her idol, Serena. C. The demands of winning back-to-back titles, particularly masters. D. Svitolina’s tenacity and game; although her game is similar to Sasha Vickery with good groundies and decent serve, Svitolina is more aggressive. Expected a closer match. E. Osaka looked flat and regressed back to old habits and footwork. Crazy amount of potential for Osaka, but equal amount of work to be done.

[@thaijulian8698]

Hello, don't blame on Osaka because Svitolina obviously is better player.I don't watch tennis match in one year because I am a fan of Sharapova, but she lost her rythm and now I found Svitolina , her backhand and and baseline ball are simmilar to Shara's ball.In addition, she has a good defense from Angelique Kerber with smart moves.

[@CapralYasya]

Ждем когда Свитолина выиграет турнир БШ. Она более других молодых девочек достойна побед: у нее есть движение, мощные атакующие удары, и что очень клево, всегда играет остро. Пора старушек разогнать и взять крупные победы!

[@vincelawrence6909]

Osaka, this must have been a practice run, here we go.

[@tranquilizer3060]

You will get her next time Naomi !

[@RobRossiFan]

Элементарно бьётся эта Осака, ничего непробиваемого нет. что с ней все мучались до этого. даже сет 62 взят один.

[@jnid1758]

I think everyone is butthurt that Serena is not doing well yet, while Naomi is touted as the next Serena. Now everyone is gloating Naomi lost. Lol.

[@magnetmac1]

I don't see any reason why anyone would be "butthurt" because Serena is not doing well. On the contrary everyone should be happy that Serena is back so soon after child birth. Nobody expects Serena to start off on a long winning streak because she hasn't reached that form yet. That's understandable and that's why nobody is "butthurt".

[@taiworonkeyusuf3726]

Seriously who is butthurt.

[@kota718]

Naomi was not too bad, but a bit tired and did many mistakes. Svitolina's condition was too good, returned Naomi's serves deeply, brought it to the stroke game, and swayed Naomi side to side successfully. It seems that 9 consecutive warfare from BNP with Noseed was truly hard. After the losing match, Naomi tweets "Time to take a breakkkkkkkk".

[@gerrysabron]

Osaka's just tired, after a long streak at Indian Wells, they went straigth to Miami....

[@kinfcoolralf1269]

Osaka's coach should do homework better . Osaka's strokes and serves were superior but the footwork, selection of course, valley appeared fatal weakness. I say Svitolina's coach did the better job.

[@reggieishere2818]

Svitolina, the best pusher in the game fricken boring. WTA needs more Osaka like players.

[@640A]

Hello, she's hit 26 winners and just 13 unforced errors. She's hit more winners than Osaka so I don't call that a boring pusher!

[@reggieishere2818]

640abdalla i did say she is "the best pusher" in the game. I find her style boring as heck. Alot of wta players are boring on court they have zero showmanship or starpower. If you dont watch tennis, you wouldnt know who tf the top ten players are.

[@palm0607]

Sorry the best pusher in the game is wozniacki.....

[@reggieishere2818]

Lance Burley so true now that she won the Aus Open

[@reggieishere2818]

Marko Jay how about an agreesive pusher, is that better lol

[@sanctuary70]

I'm still waiting for SERENA to get back. She did win AO 2017 while 2 months pregnant, which means that gorgeous baby Olympia is the youngest ever female to win a Slam,lol. Besides Serena almost died giving birth to her child. Both Williams Sisters have serious health issues and just get better. Lets face it SERENA IS THE GOAT. She as always is pushing herself too hard. But no matter what anyone says ,WATCH OUT, WHEN THE QUEEN RETURNS , cause Venus is still in top ten?! And when the Sisters double up, again the impregnable Williams Wall will go up.

[@feherakos6163]

I knew Svitolina will win this match, hope Naomi Osaka and her fans are back to the earth now...

[@louvellbanks9255]

Fehér Ákos Agree but she have improved tremendously as a player this year and she does have a possible top 10 game . We all know that there will never be another Serena for many , many , years to come if ever , just too much pressure to place on anyone . There are a lot of Osaka's playing great right now hail to the new generation of women professional tennis .

[@taiworonkeyusuf3726]

Seriously

[@sml6408]

I am lame

[@RichTake]

Did Naomi Osaka ever leave earth? I don't know if you've noticed but she doesn't have an ego like a Lot of these players in the WTA which includes Svitolina. Like all these players that make excuses for losing like Svitolina at Aus Open 18'. Don't get me wrong, I like Svitolina but your comment just makes no sense at all, especially pertaining to Osaka.

[@feherakos6163]

I am how primitive you are...

[@dajuice2011]

Tennis is no different from any other sport sometimes a person is just hot! Osaka has maxed out.... Bye Osaka

[@JARomero88]

Osaka's game reminds me so much of Li Na. Amazing power from both ends, great movement, average serve. Even her stroke motion is similar. Get Carlos Rodriguez to coach Osaka and she'll win many grand slams.

[@josephchidlaw9563]

TheRealMVP totally agree

[@samy29987]

Amazing how yesterday everyone was talking about the possibility of the ''sunshine double'' for Osaka. That she had an amazing win against her idol, that she might go the distance and win it all, that she had it in in her to win and now suddenly, she is mentally fatigued and tired, she played awful and so many more excuses... How about Svitolina played better, end of story? One great win during a tournament doesn't mean you'll be lifting the trophy at the end, especially in earlier rounds, because surprise there is a lot of competition out there.. I really hope people learn their lesson of not overhyping anyone that has a huge win early on in a tournament, especially since women's tennis has been quite unpredictable for the past couple of years.

[@lll4599]

Samy_Jonas some are even claiming they have always been Osaka’s biggest fans as if she was playing in a bubble lmao 😏🤦‍♀️She is playing good tennis yes so are other players. They will all be playing to beat her too and Osaka doesn’t have a track record yet 🤷‍♀️😩

[@Titicacaberryjuice]

Agree with a lot of what you're saying but she's also faced some seven former no 1's or 2's in the last 10 days. There's hardly been any breathing space.

[@jnid1758]

Samy_Jonas chill dude. Nothing wrong with being an Osaka fan

[@romanHederer]

not like Serena would have been in any form to beat Svitolina either

[@mercedesbayne3441]

Exactly well said...

[@jaime0075]

dame it......the girl can run...bravo elina !!!!!

[@rhart367]

What happened to Osaka??? Why did she lose this match?

[@alfa4230]

ÕLD SÇHØØL WÃRRÎØR She was mentally tired and she played against the number 4 of the world

[@JordanjamesX]

ÕLD SÇHØØL WÃRRÎØR She was physically and mentally tired after winning Indian Wells.

[@alfa4230]

17sunnyhour Yes, but she is only 20 years old, I dindt compare her

[@rhart367]

Excuses Excuses for a young 20 year old, and back to back slams is different than back to back tournaments, more time to rest between slams. Svitolina apparently outplayed her and outplayed her well.

[@austinkjung]

She said she was sick

[@nickelwindow53]

This shows you the girl had a little lucky streak and tired. Serena will demolish her in straight sets next meeting!

[@andrewhilton440]

Osaka is champion !!!

[@Atombender]

Things are a bit different now.

[@1RobertSmith]

I was shocked when I heard this commentator say, "one of the hottest properties in the sport right now". Naomi Osaka is not property, she's a woman. When you convey the word property the next line of thinking is owner - because all properties have one. In this era of human trafficking & women still fighting for equality in many areas, its offensive to equate women & property. The WTA should fire him

[@ctony86]

Naomi's game now is only one dimensional, not enough variety, she need to develops more her net games & disguise drop-shots to have something "plan B" to back her up when just hard hitting along sometime does not works, like Simona's game is too one dimensional. But luckily she has those most important tools already, big FH, BH, Serves, Speed & Stamina, She will be the future #1 & GS winner.

[@beproudbuddy]

Naomi played poorly in this match because she did not move her feet much and her returns were not dynamic.

[@dukeon]

Go Eli! 🇺🇦 😍

[@alexiacookie573]

I also play tennis 😁

[@RobRossiFan]

GODLIKE player who finally stopped that unbeatable Osaka. even no tiebreaks.

[@TheFlydeagle228]

Modern WTA is an absolute joke. I dont mean to disrespect womens tennis but 1980 1990 had star players w characters and brought excitement. In Modern WTA noone is as consistent as mens... Different number ones every major slams sometimes every month...lol

[@uphillracer]

Wow!

[@iscreamcandytv9642]

Omg the worlds greatest lmao y’all so silly 🙃

[@mariountaru5778]

Naomi this,Naomi that, Naomi-Serena, Naomi out! Overreacting tennis fans! :-)

[@lchanceiv]

WTA please disable comments!!

[@antediluvian9144]

From California dreamin' to Nightmare at Miami. Here's your new Serena, guys. 🤣🤣

[@Ben-mi9nl]

AnteDiluvian can respect any player

[@najwakaram1000]

In you’re dreams don’t get me wrong she plays like Serena but please don’t compare to Serena no one can and will ever be the next Serena full stop

[@ambrishmishra4793]

17sunnyhour dumbass there is a big difference between slams than tournaments especially if you consider these two tournaments that have hardly any difference

[@ashishshinde5483]

Jim Stark US open 2018 showed something else, Serena was crybaby, fighting with umpires. I am glad Osaka will never be Serena and she is Osaka who is great humble sports person. And for your comments , " She's too much of an internal frustrated crybaby when things go wrong during a match." - even Serena was crybaby and frustrated - in US open 2009, 2011 & 2018 too. Do you have any points to defend ?

[@RHWWFT]

@@ashishshinde5483 frustration is normal...if you are a true champion...cry baby? 😕

[@anggiatsimanjuntak5049]

Boring style of svitolina... Just put back ball on court....

[@notenote_]

Good bye japan..hahaha
