  1. As the chair umpire said, if Cirstea was in motion of serving, or was serving then there may be a problem with Naomi talking. Since Cirstea was not ready or not serving, it is alright. The "noise" or "talking" was not directed at the opponent or anyone, it was said as Naomi herself is getting ready and also done briefly.

  2. The person with the microphone should have had it taken from her hands.. then asked to leave the event.

  3. Well at least Naomi… didn’t fall down on the ground and cry like an infant this time and have to take 4 months off to mentally heal from someone telling her to not Aja Wilson on the tennis court… she is just fatigued now….

  4. Osaka, the first person of color tennis player to ever cry mental health, osaka the first person of color tennis player to dish out the very thing she says made her go mental…

  5. Chanda Rubin for me!!! I don’t ever wanna hear Mary Carillo smug, spit in the mouth self NO MO 🙂‍↔️

  6. Maybe next time rather than entering the court like a beekeeper she could come on dressed as an english Morris Dancer ? It's like watching paint dry when Ms Osaka plays Tennis ! Jeeeeez !

  7. to be fair it is pretty annoying and pathetic the come ons and fist pumps , so many players do it and its unnecessary and annoying

  8. Osaka was called out she looked like she was gonna pee her circus outfit so she had to throw shade and insult her opponent. What a weak pathetic character shining through. She could’ve ASKED YOU WHAT?? 😂 IF YOU DON’T TALK THAT MUCH HOW BOUT STFU BETWEEN SERVES🙄

  9. This is that player trying to put her problems onto you!

    It's Big BS Naomi, the "come ons and yells that
    most of the players yell between many of the points is their way of trying to elevate themselves to play at higher levels. SO!

    It's part of every players game, it's a part of tennis!
    Players MUST learn to deal with it, failing to do so exposed her immaturity and it will stop her progression.

    You have nothing to be sorry about!
    You go girl! 😅

  10. 多くのテニスの試合では、審判がファーストサーブとセカンドサーブの間、観客に静かにするよう促すのをよく耳にします。テニス選手なら、誰もが相手がサーブを打つときは静かにしなければならないことをよく知っているはずです。基本的なスポーツマンシップです。大坂選手はこの試合だけでなく、1回戦でもそうしていました。彼女の母親が日本人で、思いやりと礼儀正しさといったマナーを教わらなかったのでしょうか。日本を代表しているのに、こう言う行動はしないでほしいですね。

  11. The outfit ! Yes people are still talking about what a disaster it was… very odd … a bright red wig and big red shoes and some red lipstick would have worked also…

  12. When you have a world view that is not going to cuddle to flat world views, the entire atmosphere changes…

    We will never cuddle to flat world thinking anymore…

  13. She is 100% haitian. I see it through her response. Love my ppls 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹!!!!!!

  14. Osaka has big anxiety issues, that's why she pulled out of AO, it all most likely stemmed from the drama in this game

  15. If you can't handle the heat,get out of the kitchen. I'm glad she's out.acts like a young child.

  16. The interview did such a great job bringing her back to herself and her moment, and to calm her down from the emotion of the [lack of] handshake.

  17. 인종차별 당할때는 기분나쁘지? 네가 다른사람들에게 하는 무례한 짓도 그 사람들에게 똑같은 감정이 들게할거야
