Naomi Osaka Press Conference | Australian Open 2019 Final

You are right, who says public speakers always needs to be slick and perfect. I think Naomi Osaka is a wonderful public speaker, because you can feel her presence, her demeanor touches more hearts than sheer words.

In interviews she is always calm cool and witty no matter what racist bull**** is thrown at her. Serena is human and has thrown a lot less tantrums than most even with all the extra bull thrown at her.

You are right from what I can remember. She was not involved in the Serena drama but was an innocent bystander. Serena’s coach admitted straight after that he tried to coach her in a few points. Rather than saying, “I am not a cheat!” she should have simply said, “I am just looking to my box for inspiration at times and not for any strategy...I am sorry if you misread this...I would gladly accept the loss of a point.” But we sports fans are not dumb. You don’t have to say anything...just hold up the trophy ! Then listen to the roar, Naomi!

She is such a refreshing breath of fresh air in this stale atmosphere of modern-day cut-throat sports culture. There has been too much emphasis--even public demand--for athletes to be like medieval "warriors" whose only goal should be to vanquish the opposition. When I watch Naomi play, I not only get to admire her talent but also appreciate the beauty of the sport of tennis. Naomi isn't trying to be the poster girl of tennis, she's just the natural darling of the sport because of the way she plays it with a lot of sincerity and genuine passion. So press guys give her a break, will you? Stop treating her like a thoroughbred race horse who can't improve its run without being whipped. If we somehow manage to ruin this girl, it's going to take a really long time for another one like her to come along. Naomi's a rare gem the whole sporting world should treasure and not grind down to a million meaningless carats of diamond dust.

Very mature for her age, she says very little but all her answers are to the point. Congratulations Naomi! 💐👌

Huge congratulations Naomi for your second Grand Slam win! I was cheering for you, but after you lost your serve twice and second set as a result of that, I was afraid you would not be able to come back, I admit it. You had a big advantage, 3 match points on her serve ; you say she is supposed to hold the serve but you were so close anyway even after that because you had your own serve which did not work at that moment. Most people probably would not win that kind of match because it takes a lot of mental toughness and you did just that. It means you have a champion mentality and that is something. Well deserved win, keep improving and stay true to yourself.

I love her response to the first question. She hates the Italian reporter. 😂😂

Her meditational and relaxation skills were not addressed by these brilliant reporters. It is a big part of her game her concentration skills is what won her back to back Grand Slams.

Sweet, real, humble, what a breath of fresh air to the WTA.

Je ne sais pas si vous avez remarqué, comme avec Williams et maintenant avec Kvitova, Osaka a toujours ce commentaire d'avoir été honorée de jouer contre elle. Non seulement elle le dit, mais elle a cette petite révérence qu'elle fait, un mouvement du corps en signe de respect. Une sorte de relecture du fair-play britannique revu à la culture japonaise.

What an amazing champ you are Naomi!

[@mohdabu7968]

Dont try mixed up with those players from US or where else. What else we can say shes already a GS Champions not once but twice within a short of time. Amazing!! We are proud of you to be the best tennis player from Asia.

Pete Sampras was dead boring in his interviews from beginning to end. He just seemed to squirm each time. He never changed...because he did not get into tennis to be a good public speaker ! We are all OK with that. Would he have a got a few more sponsors if he was more convivial and eloquent. Sure. But that was never his personality...and it will neither be Naomi’s. And Naomi, despite my advice of getting some Handling the Media training, just keep having fun !

[@sayuriishikawa]

And she’s only 21 years old. Ugh when I was her age... ugh embarrassing! I didn’t even have a real dream! I’m so proud of her🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵 おめでとう！

[@erniecool4603]

Osaka is humble and she's a great player!
