Many people don't understand the context. Wim Fissett was Osaka's coach for a while when she got pregnant so he was released. Some time later he ended up being Qinwen's coach, but as soon as Osaka announced her return to tennis, Fissett decided to abandon Qinwen (I guess there was a contract) and go back to coach Osaka. Qinwen seems to be a respectful young woman and just accepted the situation and moved forward instead of making a fuss or take legal actions, etc. That's why her win today tastes like a classy way to revenge, on the court, on the final score.
Wim and Naomi ended the contract in peace as it expired in the summer of 2022,not because of N's pregnancy. Then her dad Leonard Francois was working as a temp coach until Wim came back. Zheng and Riba are a very good team and making fine results so far, same can be said for Naomi and Wim☮.
Wow! Thanks for the breakdown.
@@lemoncake3824I think he’s referring to contract between wim and Qinwen bc if qinwen knew there was a contract between Osaka and Wim she wouldn’t have fussed about it. Common sense isn’t so common I guess…
So when happens when Osaka beats her? Osaka being classier? Revenge on revenge?
These are working professional women - these things happen in professional sports. Zheng feels slighted, it should be towards Fisette, not Osaka.
Well Osaka dumped her coach so Qin gives the bugger a job to coach her then the ingrates dumps Qin to go back to the one who dumped him. Does this sound kosher to you? So Qin is what a rebound gig for him? Well it's no secret why he went back to Osaka first chance he gets as I'm sure there's a performance bonus in the contract so he gets a small cut of her winnings so he figured Osaka is a 5x Grand Slam winner so is bound to win more Grand Slams while Qin is a WTA 500 potential winner at best. I get it. It's just good business.
Some what revenge for the coaching issue! Very glad Qinwen won, and I hope she is too.
???
I had a feeling that Zheng would be doubly motivated for this match, she was very surprised and angry at Fissette for leaving her
Why wouldn’t she be glad after winning a match?
@@axelltullup2638 I know and on such short notice aswell. I'm also happy he left before Qinwen's Australia Open final!
Well Naomi didn't even try. It was a gimme.
glad that wta finally posted Zhengs match it was much needed ... And super happy for Zhengs win Congrats to her 🥰🥰😇🙌👏
This match is basically having a messy breakup, finding someone new who's amazing, treats you well and looks stunning, and crossing paths with your ex who sees you've moved on and happier than ever.
Go Zhang!! ❤❤

Zheng played some smart slices.
Zheng couldn't stop smiling or laughing here. This win probably felt better than her AO SF win...here biggest win to date. This is like giving the triple bird to Fissette.
It seems that Zheng's backhand is improving, great job!
Huge improvements on her backhand. Congrats!
This has to feel very good for Zheng considering the coaching drama
Surprised that they 2 shook hands.
Coaching drama???
@@santoshthapa8398 Zheng's ex coach was Fissette. Now he coaches Naomi, you know what?
@@lemoncake3824 Fissette was just following the money. Why else would he jump from an ascending player to a descending player.
@@lemoncake3824 omg literally naomi osaka is so evil 😈 i cant believe she did this !! 😡
Zheng had some nice things to say about Naomi after their match and i'm here for it. Congrats, Zheng! Keep going, Naomi!
Very fair comment👍.
Rooting for Qin to win the whole tournament and beat Osaka every time as payback.
We need to see osaka's coach reaction 😜
Great win for Zheng. She put an end to Naomi's win streak and done it very professionally with great shots.
I wanted to see the coach’s face! So glad Zheng won👏👏👏
Zheng is such an athlete 👏
Both are our Asian proud players
Well, Naomi grew up in the United States and her dad is from Haiti. She's about as Asian as a typical kid in Florida.
@@elmoblatch9787 Hardly speaks a word of Japanese, and I'm willing to bet she's still got her US passport even though Japan doesn't allow dual citizenship. The US government makes public a list of everyone who renounces US citizenship. Still waiting for her name to appear.
@@funkslave9425 Nailed it!
@@pbworld7858she took japan citizenship…
you are so racist, where you grow up doesn’t determine at all how “asian” or whichever you are. naomi actually does speak japanese, she’s just not very comfortable speaking it.
@@funkslave9425because she is black… jfc
i love Qinwen's smile at the end 😍😍
Win this Italian Open title, Zheng! Let's see it!
If she gets through Iga and Aryna, then she could possibly get the title here.
Zheng very good now, well done!
It will be interesting to see whether Zheng can produce the same results against Gauff or Badosa in the final. She needs to up the aggression in her game, which she somehow found the way to do in this match, but she didn’t do it when she was up against Sabalanka earlier this year.
Isn't it obvious Naomi didn't even try like she was giving the win to Qin out of guilt for what happened with the coaching.
Zheng is a dangerous combination of speed and power. She will be in the top 10 for years to come..
She is a top 10 already.
Zheng is moving up the WTA ladder! U.S. commentators seem to hate her but still her results speak for themselves!😊
Zheng game is getting stronger and stronger.
Loved to see Zheng beat Osaka. Zheng is not only much fitter in terms of her mobility on the court but also much better body language.
Plus she doesn't start every sentence with "um...?".
@@ricklee5845 Zheng who? How many titles she has😂
@@ricklee5845 lol Considering that Osaka's first language is English, but she takes her time to think like a ES(O)L
This is small talk
@@ricklee5845You mean like MOST Americans, who mainly speak ONE language, while she is bilingual?
Well done Queen Zheng! It turns out to be great to change the coach
Nice play,Zheng❤
Singles is a fitness game. Qinwen is very fit.
So is Sakkari, but she keeps losing 😂
what a nice way to say Osaka is fat... lol
@@common-sense-is-the-way hahaha u said it i didnt :)
@@lebbeus sakkari is like a bodybuilder. big mucles does not mean fit.
@@common-sense-is-the-wayNot necessarily fat. Just that Osaka is still recovering and getting into shape after giving birth. Obviously she's not at her full athletic capacity or stamina.
Congratulations Zheng 🎉🎉
I mean, I love Naomi, but with Zheng playing like that, she just proved that Naomi is a very one-dimensional - Baseline-only player.
Don't think that's the case. It looked like Naomi wasn't even trying and gifted the win to Qin outta guilt for the coaching shenanigans. She knows it wasn't right so gave the win as a way of making amends.
@@jonfreeman9682 hmm… not sure about that tbh 😂
It feels great with no spoilers.
Zheng is just a much better player than Osaka in 2024. That's all there is to it.
That's because Naomi is just getting back to playing; she did have a child you know? That is not something one just does one day and the next day "business as usual". Not how that works. 😢
Osaka has only been coming back for a few months. All this match tells us is that she is not at the Top 10 level yet.
@@godz4ever404 We don't need any qualifiers. Zheng is just better. She will be better 6 months from now, a year from now. 2 years from now, heck she will be better six years from now. I mean everyone was claiming Osaka was playing great tennis coming into this match. And she won 6 games.
@@Mark-th4sz Who has ever claimed that Naomi was a threat on clay? She's getting better on it which says a lot about her game. Come back to have this discussion when Qinwen has achieved a major title. Just ONE. As a matter of fact, has she won at least a Master's 1000? Let her results speak for itself as they already have and will continue to do so. She's not even in the conversation yet.
Now wait for Coco-Zheng match🫣
3:59 - smart move
Osaka has a long arduous battle just to get to quarters or semi . Hopefully she will manage to win another grand slam .
When hell freezes over.
@@ricklee5845that's the day you'll 💀😵🥀🪦
She’s lacking in the mental game unfortunately. Skill and talent is there. But tennis is a chess match and majority is the mental approach.
Unless she can drastically improve her fitness and movement, Osaka won't be a threat at big events.
@@Harcorwrestler Agreed. She's got plenty of mental game but it's on another planet.
REVENGE IS SO SWEET !!! ZHENG NEEDS TO WIN TITILES TO SHOW THAT SHE DON'T NEED FISSETT AS A COACH.
Zheng played very well... high on percentage and yet risk-free, solid tennis! At the end of the day, Naomi's movement is still not good enough to compete with the fit players!
She was good enough to compete and win against some pretty fit players in Marta K and Daria and those are two of the fittest players on tour. She's heading in the right direction, give her time. She's going to be back to winning major championships!
This is the first time I've seen a WTA-published highlight reel and felt like it was actually a little biased towards the loser. Why do you guys show so many of Osaka's points and so few of Zheng's, especially in the first set?
'Cause Osaka's the favorite and has many, many sponsors lol
The total count of points won in these highlights, if I counted correctly, was 5 for Osaka and 9 for Zheng. Just about right considering the final score.
I bow to my Queen Wen.
I truly hope her time has come to shine. I want her to win this so badly. Beat Iga and anyone else standing in the way.
Zheng❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍
Naomi did not play aggressively as before and did not play constantly. She played nicely.
Ohh i really like both of them!🎾💞 Sadly one have to leave
very good
Wow the highlights went from 1-1 to 2-5, I supposed nothing happened in between :p
Ok❤!!!
Am I seeing Osakas fit sponsored by workday 😭🙏🏽 my worst nightmare
Osaka still on her comeback journey. Took out two seeded players before Zheng, a top ten player. But, most see this as Zheng getting back to Fissette and Osaka. Maybe, it's true. But for Osaka, it should be another opportunity to learn and improve, playing one of the top newbies, on her way to another GS.
Yutub hebat
It’s The Battle Of The Grand Slam Champions & Finalists 2x USO & 2x AO Champion Osaka Vs. 2024 AO Finalist Zheng In An All Asian Affair Between Japanese Vs. Chinese Players
Where is Wim Fisette,? Next match is gonna be interesting too since Pere RIBA also ex coach of Coco ❤
Ok banget
祝贺你郑钦文打得不错😃加油
Thats OK Naomi. We know clay is not your court. Keep up the grind cause your fans know that you are improving and it's going to be different at the US Open!😊
Osaka will go out early in the US Open.
@@lukewalker1051shut up
Right now the surface isn't her problem, it's her movement which is tied to her fitness. On hard courts she'll do OK until she runs into Iga, Sabalenka, Gauff or any number off women that possess power but superior fitness and athleticism. She should skip the grass season and work on her fitness.
@@broncoguy4862 Considering she'll be playing at the Olympics, which will be held on clay, she better speed up that fitness and movement development... 😉I think many players this year, including Osaka, will overlook Wimbledon and other grass tournaments to be honest to focus on the Olympics and smooth transition to the NA/Chinese tournaments.
@@sharonminaqueen6823😂
Naomi, you have done very well so far. OUR LOVE FOR ❤️ YOU NEVER CHANGE. WE HAVE A GREAT TRUST IN YOU. KEEP UP YOUR GOOD SHOTS. WHETHER YOU WIN OR LOOSE YOU ARE A GREAT WOMAN. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh boy...
@@ricklee5845oh it’s you again. the naomi hater…
@@aaron.y2k Scram troll! The snowflake patrol is on the prowl!
@@ricklee5845 BYE HAHAHAHAHA
This match must’ve given Zheng a lot of anxiety and mental thinking. It must be so hard to go against someone who uses your past coach. I’m sure he told Osaka all of her weaknesses…
🙌🙌
Osaka feels to cry.
利害 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😊
Osaka on clay is just not competitive.
she’s getting there
Naomi Osaka - another has been.
Semangt 45
Ну по крайней мере поражения она нучилась принимать наигранно достойно.
With Osaka the hype isn't matching the reality. Seemly every week someone is claiming Osaka is playing great tennis but when the QFs matches are played she is always out of the tournament by then. This is like Mirra who has never even made a WTA QF but always mentioned as one of the favorites. If people want to talk about someone playing great tennis they should talk about Swiatek, heck even Zheng. But most certainly not Osaka.
Osaka still doesn't know how to play on clay or in grass. Even on hard she lacks consistency.
So true
well its just been a few months after her comeback so, we should give her some time
Even before her comeback she hardly had any consistency. That's her biggest weakness. Outside of 4 slams she hardly done anything. Infact she never reached QF of any slam outside of those 4 slams wins.
@@rajusaha855 yeah that's true, she struggled mentally a lot
@@hendrixAKA32 Not gonna happen.
Osaka sluggish, hardly moving her feet. Still too many pounds to lug around.
Queen Wen is in the zone. Looking fit and happy! ❤❤
I think the time Naomi took away from the game to have a baby may have hurt her tennis career. I dont think she will win another open. These girls that she has to face now have good game.
She's only been back playing for 5 months. Calm down.
She looked impressive when she played against old , slow Williams. Now with Rybakina ,Sabalenka and Swiatek she would be blown out of the court
@@ivanhall6482That part!
@@narcyznarcyz-uv4tdAt least she's looking forward to the challenge! That's a champions mindset, you want to go up against the best to see where you're at and then make whatever adjustments are needed!
@@ivanhall6482 I simply stated my opinion. Calm down??? I really don't care whether she wins or loses.
Happy to see Zheng Qinwen win. But it is not an exciting game.
😢
Stop this nagative baseless criticism. It's pathetic. Osaka is on the right path to success. She is progressive very well
Naomi is gaining ground. i believe she can make it to the top after more games!
nice video，osaka hit couple of winners，then qinwen won the game😂
How come everyone beating Osaka?
Everyone? Didn't Osaka win 3 matches and lose only 1? I guess that's everyone.
Zheng made Osaka look slow.
Claynomi is no more.
Did Osaka return that FTX money?
ナオミはサーブがダメすぎた
It's rare to see asian women tennis 😮
You need better glasses 🤓! MANY Asian women tennis players and Triple Z on the men's side is no joke either. He got game. 🎉
whats this coaching issue everybody is talking about?
Wim Fissette (who is Naomi's coach) reportedly signed a contract to coach Zheng when Naomi was out due to pregnancy. Zheng said Wim broke that contract with her suddenly after finding out Naomi would be coming back. But he was with Naomi first and I think he just didn't connect with Zheng the way he did/does with Naomi. Zheng was really bothered by what he did but today, she says she's in a better place about it.
HA!!!! Hit the showers Osaka...looks like the party is over.
Love you Naomi! Soon you will be a number 1 again
What coaching drama? What happened?
Late last year, Zheng’s former coach left her when Osaka asked for him for her return. Zheng expressed her disappointment and somewhat anger during this time. Safe to say this was a little piece of revenge for the Queen
Naomi poached Zheng's coach when she returned and Zheng didnt like that at all.
@@nonamecommenter oh wow
@@chinyere6412Zheng did the same to gauff?! But I don’t see Gauff making a fuss about it!
What happened to Osaka?
𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙨 𝙌𝙪𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙕𝙝𝙚𝙣𝙜 🎉🎉✨
Osaka needs to retire...her skills don't cut it anymore. She needs to focus on her family...forget about winning any more tournaments.
Can someone tell me what makes osaka fail in this match😢
Opponent that is mentally stronger, more intelligent and has more variety. Also Osaka couldn't afford over 30 unforced errors.
Thanks Qinwen for the waste management! 😍
Poor movement (which is why she struggles on natural surfaces) and a lack of variation.
Playing against a much better player on clay. It's a wonder she didn't lose before.
@@marklar9156definitely a biased take 😂
Zheng will do wonders in 2024 Olympics
Congratulations Zheng 🇨🇳. 👍
At last you've atoned for your disappointing performance at the AO 2024 final 🎾.
Zheng 🇨🇳 will be expected to go deep into the French Open 🇫🇷 now.
Why would todays result change the expectation for Zheng? I think Zheng has a good chance to go deep at the French Open but not because of todays result. Osaka isn't good on clay or expected to go deep at the French after all.
Osaka should retire, and continue with her I am black I am Japanese etc. etc. Her game is now good enough for only a few initial couple of rounds. I can't imagine her beating Swiatek or Sabalenka or Rybakina even in my wildest dreams.
She has been back only a few months, and won 3 rounds in straight sets on a surface that is not her favorite. If everyone retired who didn't win 4 rounds in a row there would not be many women in tennis.
Wim should encourage Naomi to play some doubles.
Wim should encourage Naomi to retire
@@turnerturnerturner Yeah, it's just horrible to win 3 matches in straight sets and lose 1 match in Rome a few months after returning to the Tour from having a baby. Time to retire.
That's actually not a bad suggestion. Who would you team her with?
Osaka hasn't been the same since her big win years ago... she declined terribly... then her mental breakdown didn't help as well... Quite unfortunate.
Sour Osaka.
Athleticism Question: Hypothetically, Do you think Naomi Osaka at her current age could have success playing American high school football? Does she have the athleticism for it? Why or why not?
Ask sirena
Mentally ill, dude. You asked this stupid question 100 times this year.
This comment section is tweaking hating on naomi for no reason
Osaka brought the negativity on herself starting with the 2021 French Open and her ridiculous comments about paying fines instead of attending press conferences required by ALL players. Big Karen move. Then she dragged her unpopular politics onto the court, which turned off tennis fans. The last straw came when she decided to lecture the crowd at Indian Wells after her loss in 2022 because one person heckled her. Not exactly endearing herself to the fans.
She was openly supporting blm and this is one of the reason why
@@broncoguy4862Your mental health may not be important to you but it could be the breaking point for another. Extend compassion and grace because YOU might be on the other end some day needing someone to do the same to and for you. I've never seen or heard that speaking and standing up for justice and righteousness would be considered "unpopular and "political". Righteousness and justice are the FOUNDATION of God's throne! (Psalms 89.14; 97.2). So do you hate God as you seemingly do her? Because it's apparent she's standing up for that which God does. Why are YOU not doing the same? 🤔
Was a big mistake for Naomi leaving tennis for that period of time. She was at her peak and could have capitalized on it. Now shes just nothing special
Too fat.
Sad and depressed, not gone further than the 3rd round in 5 grand slams in a row, only one final (which she lost) since her last won slam, and

Let’s go easy w against low rated player
overweight naomi osaka...
In all fairness, she's returning from childbirth. Some ladies bounce back quickly, some take more time. It remains to be seen whether or not she can regain her hard-court dominance because there are a lot better players out there than when she last won the AO in 2021.
