Wonderful win for Osaka. She is truly spectacular. Special. She's brilliant. Wonderful game. Great on court attitude. Great off court attitude. Her coming of age is really something to behold. The fact that she can back up her US Open win with a trip to the next slam final... matters in this day and age. Possibly the best hard court player in the world right now. Simona Halep got one year. Precisely one. She won't go away. She's still great. But Naomi Osaka is here to stake her claim as the best player in the world. We'll see what Serena has to say about that. Well. First we'll see what Kvitova has to say about that. Osaka MUCH more steady and consistent than Kvitova. But Kvitova's game and power can be other worldly. A whole other animal compared with Pliskova. This is their first meeting. Should be a good one.
