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.
