Speaking about the game in comparison to her first US Open win, Naomi Osaka says:

“I feel like two years ago, I maybe would have folded being down a set and a break. But I think, all the matches that I played in between that time shaped me and made me or forced me to mature more. Especially all the matches that I’ve played here were very tough.”

“I think definitely I’m more of a complete player now, feel like I’m more aware of what I’m doing.” She continues
“I wasn’t thinking about winning after a certain while,” Osaka said. “I thought, ‘I came here with a goal, I’m playing in the final, a lot of people want to be in this final, so I can’t lose 6-1, 6-0”

During the games, Osaka wore face masks with the names of racially killed black people, to raise awareness of racism in America.

“The point is to make people start talking,” she says. “For me, just spreading awareness,” she said.
