The Japanese won her first slam against her childhood idol, Serena Williams, that had an incredible meltdown on court.

Many were wondering if Serena’s tantrum did spoil the party or if Naomi was upset with that. Osaka had a fantastic answer to that.
I am always going to remember the Serena that I love. OSAKA
During the press conference following her title, Naomi commented
“I don’t know what happened on the court. So, for me, I’m always going to remember the Serena that I love. It doesn’t change anything for me. She was really nice to me, like, at the net and on the podium. I don’t really see what would change.”
Naomi has everything to be a “long-lasting” champion.
