Naomi has won her first Grand Slam! Congratulations to Naomi and hope that she will continue her quest to greatness.

She has won!
Amazingly good play on her part. Shame about Serena's behaviour and penalty though.
Hung Nguyen
As I had hoped, Naomi has won the first set 6-2 this morning.

That bad, huh? This should make for an exciting match.
Hung Nguyen
For the betterment and excitement of the world tennis, Naomi should win this final.
Ganbare Japan!
Japan v USA. Closest nations in the world, now Big rivals in sport! Go Naomi-chan and GO Japan!!

She already has gained more respect than most of "full-blooded Japanese" due not only to her accomplishment but also to her personality, which has won minds of many people around the world beyond Japan and America. I love her.

2nd straight year 2 women of color in the US Finals
Out of 4 Americans in the women's semifinals last year, the only one to make it back to the semis was Madison Keys

Go, go, go Naomi!
Congratulations in advance!
Kenji Fujimori
Go Japan, beat Serena!

Win or lose, I hope Japan will embrace her fully as one of their own. No Japanese woman has accomplished this and she deserves the same amount of recognition and adulation generally heaped on full-blooded Japanese. Same for Aska Cambridge and others.

Really hope she forgets she's playing against her idol and that she has a proper crack.
Good.

Saw Naomi play yesterday on TV and she routed her opponent big time. Good luck to her. I like Serena but it would be nice if Naomi wins this.

Serena is still as good as ever, but I'm still rooting for Naomi.
Ganbare Japan!
AMAZING! What a perfect match she played. Great job, Naomi-chan!! But only half finished, beat Serena on Sunday and you will be the first Japanese to ever win a Major title!

Asked if she had a message for Serena, her response (shyly): "I love you".
Awesome :)

Yay! Naomi's dream has come true. The young princess is going to meet her idol, the Queen of Tennis, in the final.

Going to be good. Osaka versus one of her idols.
