Naomi Osaka Beats Wins Australian Open Securing Her 4th Grand Slam Title

The baby goat has done it again!

Naomi Osaka has won the Australian Open 6-4, 6-3 against Jennifer Brady. On Wednesday, Osaka defeated her idol, Serena Williams, to make it to the finals. The 23-year-old tennis phenom has won every Grand Slam she has reached and is now 4 for 4 in Grand Slam finals.

"You don't go into a final wanting to be the runner-up. For me, I feel like every opportunity that I play a Slam is an opportunity to win a Slam," Osaka told reporters. "So I think maybe I put that pressure on myself too much, but honestly, it's working out in my favor right now."Β 

She will move up to No. 2 in the WTA rankings. Osaka produced six aces and returns that created six breaks, becoming the first woman to win her first four major finals since Monica Seles did it 30-years-ago.Β 

"This win solidifies her as the best player in the world,"Β Rennae Stubbs, the four-time doubles major champion and ESPN analyst said. "That's what it does. I think that there is no question that, certainly on a hard court, she is as dominant as a player has been over the last three years."

The internet were excited and celebrated her victory.

We love to watch you win, Naomi!
