Naomi Osaka Voices Wish for Idol Serena Williams After Australian Open 2021 Victory
After consigning Serena Williams to another unflattering Grand Slam exit, Naomi Osaka has said that she wants Serena to go on playing “forever.”
The Japanese World Number 3 found her mojo after initial hiccups to tame the 23-time Grand Slam champion in straight sets in the first semifinal of the Australian Open on Thursday.

After conceding a break in her opening service game, Osaka let fly screaming winners off her handle, leaving the veteran Serena in shock and awe and prolonging her agonizing quest for a 24th Grand Slam title that will take her to the joint highest career haul alongside yesteryear stalwart Margaret Court.
The 39-year-old Serena walked off the court with her head bowed, unsure whether she would return to Melbourne Park next year.
