Naomi Osaka vs Serena Williams Extended Highlights (SF) | Australian Open 2021

[@jerrydee9379]

To Everyone saying Serena would have won if she was younger, sorry but age factor is a part of any sport. Let's give Naomi the credit she deserves.

[@RJspAced]

I am not taking away from Osaka's win! however comparing what happened on the court is basically, more energy vs. less energy, which is a part of growing older in all sports.

[@tatama5782]

Not necessarily... a younger Serena would also be a less experienced one. You could also say an older more experienced Osaka would have won Serena decisively every time. You can't eat your cake and have it!

[@louvesmooth]

Exactly let’s give Naomi her credit while also not forgetting Serena’s major contributions to tennis. She’s a legend

[@algebraist1997]

Absolutely, but Osaka beating Serena at this age means we can't really compare them at all. We can't bring back say, a 2015 Serena to play Osaka whenever she reaches her prime, so we would never know the real outcome if they both played at 100%.

Finally!!! I thought I was the only one to see that. It‘s an amazing skill that Naomi has in her game.

[@thomasmn9965]

@@cineastik8220 Unlike most players, Naomi has a very compact swing and she hits her groundstrokes late but her hands are so fast and she's physically very strong that she is able to change the direction of the ball at the very last moment. She also has great timing most of the time. She is a tricky player indeed and wrong footed even top players easily

[@vishalkn1]

@@thomasmn9965 her forehand is like Steffi Graf´s in that regard, who also took the ball very late and had amazing racquet head speed.

[@asinegaasinega]

Another player with that skill--- Bianca Andreescu. Andreescu's is actually more interesting because her game has more variety than Osaka. Bianca has power but she just doesnt have consistent accuracy ( i dont think she physcially is as strong as Naomi) but like everyone stated, she has very compact and short swings but great racket speeds. Compare the swings of Osaka, Bianca with Sabalenka's swing and you could see the difference, night and day. It really benefits when your swing is compact and you can still generate great shape on the ball with racket speed without giving away where you are going with the ball

[@jay-xz6yo]

Can you give a time stamp of an example of this? Not super into tennis but I’m genuinely curious

[@deepakmahajan4978]

When Osaka starts hitting her strokes with pace and makes u run side to side , she becomes unplayable. Her forehand is best shot on tour right now and opens room for her backhands.

[@antoniogrant200]

Which is exactly why I said in one comment I made on a different post Serena has to keep the rally’s short with drop shots and volleys and maintain center position she had so many open shots and unforced errors and she played to Naomi’s strengths Serena could have definitely pulled off the win if she just relaxed and played sharp one two punch service games, couple of aces and a war like mentality!!! I didn’t see aggression and power in her play she played with nerves and fear she’s gotta dig deep she’s done it before!!!

@@Alex-fn7zd What terrible habit are you talking about?? Do you even know how to play tennis??

[@infamouscha]

I only played tennis in high school, so maybe I can't say anything here. But this kinda looks similar to how boxers don't always throw their hardest jabs or full momentum jab until they know 95% they can land that solid hit. Because if it hits air, it's just too much expended energy and stamina. It looks like Serena has a lot of strength behind her shots, and it seems that usually that works for her. But Osaka capitalizes on the energy that Serena expends. If Serena can't win in a couple of hits, she just becomes too tired to run around the court, while Osaka looks like she's just redirecting what's being thrown at her.

[@ibidapoaina2459]

True but Serena also used to have a lot of speed and stamina. That has changed. She was one step short all game.

[@sefutho]

[@falks941]

[@GrouperSE]

Bóxers don’t do that

[@MrBeatboxmasta]

A young Serena could have returned some of Osaka's winners and put herself in position to hit better angles. Her lack of stamina in her old age and from motherhood forces her to hit as hard as she can and hope to end points early. If she tried to hit softer balls to conserve energy, she still would have lost because Osaka would have just dragged the points as long as necessary.

She did what Serena did to so many opponents throughout her career, and has really grown into one of the most mentally tough players on the tour. She really is becoming the next great player and has grown so much throughout the years to become the player she is now. Serena Williams, it’s unfortunate we didn’t see her best here but what she has achieved in these two weeks is still incredible at this stage of her career. To beat Sabalenka in the 4th round and play such a high quality match against Halep shows she still can play amazing tennis. What she has achieved, and still is achieving is incredible and is certainly so amazing to see her do so well in this time of her career.

[@notis6107]

@@antoniogrant200 nah, she made her highest unforced in the match vs halep. The difference between these 2 matches was that osaka was returning too good and she was totally reading serenas serve, williams knew she had to go for high risk winners and finish the point early bc rallies favoured osaka. Naomis game just counters serenas and thats why she lost, it wasnt that she controlled the rallies, she was just simply not allowed to play her game

Also returns are not just about speed i mean its like you dont even know about tennis, what is more important is placement and osaka herself said that she has stoped bashing the ball when she returns but she has improved her placement and thats why she is a better returner now. I mean the same goes for djoko who is the best returner in atp, placement is the most important in an return. And stats are also saying the same.
