Naomi Osaka is the winner of 2018 US Open Title after defeating renowned Serena Williams in the finals on Saturday, September 8.
Osaka, who has broken the record of the first Japanese tennis player to achieve the feat, thwarted Serena Williams’ attempt to seal a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam singles title, with a 6-2 6-4 victory in Saturday’s final.
Williams imploded in a furious tirade against umpire Carlos Ramos, calling him a “thief”, after he docked her a point for three code violations.
In the battle of youth against experience, it was the 20-year-old Osaka who came out with a fearless attacking style of play.
Osaka is also the youngest woman to reach the final at Flushing Meadows, since Caroline Wozniacki did it as a 19-year-old in 2009.
