Naomi Osaka

September 10, 2018 in Fitness/Sportswomen/Athletes by Romanticwarrior | 8 comments

Naomi is a tennis player on the rise. Woody-alien thought we should take a look… He was right.

Born in Japan to a Haitian father and Japanese mother, Naomi has lived in the US, currently Florida, since she was 3, but competes under the Japanese flag. There probably aren’t too many other 5’11″ female Japanese tennis players to give the (until last Saturday) world 19th-ranked Naomi a run for her money. Her previous biggest win to date happened last March, when she beat Serena Williams in straight sets. Last Saturday Naomi knocked off Serena in straight sets again to win the U.S. Open. Although through her antics Serena managed to crap all over Naomi’s accomplishment, the 20-year-old was a more than deserving winner of her first major, with I’m sure more to come. Congratulations!

    she played GREAT and won despite Serena’s bitching and whining. Naomi deserved all the applause but was not treated right by the crowd.

    Hope to see her succeed with her skills and her humility.

    I’m glad she won. If she doesn’t prove to be another political mouthpiece she could very well be my favorite player.

    I don’t know much about tennis but I read about her and she seemed a good upcoming player, so I suggested her in the forum… I’ve been almost prophetic :D
    However I’m sad that she had to meet her idol Serena in that way, with her crazy outbursts shadowing Naomi’s victory.

    She’s not my cup of tea either… To be honest, when I suggested her I did so because I thought that there were many forumites who liked their women sporty, fit and tanned (judging by the comments), and I thought she would fit this description. I do prefer the more classic Japanese look! But think about this: she has a sister and she looks more Haitian than Japanese.

    I love the “sporty, fit and tanned” sirens, but as talented, fit, hard working and athletic as Naomi clearly is, I don’t find her overly attractive.

    I think she is amazing. What an incredible performance both during and after the match.
