Naomi Osaka defeated Serena Williams in the Australian Open semifinals.
“I don’t know if there is any little kids out here today but I was a little kid watching her play and just to be on the court playing against her for me is a dream,” Osaka said during an on-court interview after the win. “And I think the biggest thing that I’ve learned over the years is you’re a competitor, you’re playing against another competitor — and that itself is the funnest part because tennis is a game.”
Serena Williams would’ve been a step closer to her 24th Grand Slam title if she won this round. But it was still a win for Black women everywhere.
The 23-year-old handed Williams a 6-3, 6-4 defeat.
Williams’s last Grand Slam title came at the 2017 Australian Open, which she won while two months pregnant with her daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian.
