'No more booing': Serena Williams gives emotional interview after dramatic US Open women's final

Naomi Osaka defeated Serena Williams in the U.S. Open final to win the first major of her young career.

  • Naomi Osaka defeated Serena Williams 6-2, 6-4 on Saturday in the US Open final to take home the first major title of her young career.
  • While the story of the match should have been Osaka, repeated violations given out by umpire Carlos Ramos to Williams quickly became a sticking point with both the players and the crowd.
  • Supporters booed through some post-match interviews, but Williams interjected, instructing the crowd to give Osaka her moment.

It was quite a moment for Osaka, earning the first major of her career at just 20 years old, and defeating her idol, Williams, to do it. Osaka had made clear beforehand how delighted she was to take on Williams in the final.

Both Williams and Osaka likely wish the officiating had gone a bit differently on Saturday, but thankfully, there's little doubt that these two will meet again on the court in a critical match in the near future.
