Defeated, Osaka left Center Court as quickly as she could, but a few hours later, she was back on Center Court again. She left Center Court a few hours later because her favorite Serena Williams was scheduled to play in the night match that day.
Serena, who has won 23 Grand Slam tournaments, has been Osaka’s idol since she was a child. Since her idol announced her intention to retire this month, the U.S. Open and its preliminaries have been her only opportunities to see Serena play.
Osaka was a guest in the stands to watch the heated match between Serena and Emma Raducanu, last year’s U.S. Open queen.
The highlight of the match came in the first game of the second set. Serena made a powerful forehand return ace to Raducanu’s service. Osaka was applauding the player’s excellent play, but then suddenly her movements stopped. She was applauding, but her movements stopped abruptly when she noticed that her own image was clearly visible on the large monitor installed in the hall.
After looking at her neighbor, she slid back into her seat to hide from the camera, and finally covered her face with her hands with an embarrassed smile on her face.
Even the commentator who was broadcasting the game couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the sight. Of course, the audience who saw Osaka’s smiling face on the monitor also laughed hysterically.
After the match, the video was posted on the official Twitter (@CincyTennis) and received many positive comments such as “We clapped together,” “This is my favorite part of the match,” “Naomi, you are the best,” etc. The video has been viewed more than 90,000 times and received more than 2,700 likes.
