Serena Williams: 'Osaka was supposed to win US Open final. She deserved'
Serena Williams recalled last year's US Open final loss to Naomi Osaka. The American player does not have bright memories from it as she argued with the Spanish umpire Carlos Ramos. "I think she was supposed to win that and she deserved to win New York. And, you know, I don't even remember what I played like last year. I don't even remember what she played like. I'm sure we both improved. And, you know, it was her moment, and I don't -- I don't know", said Serena.
On how it felt to attend Caroline Wozniacki's wedding in June, the 37-year-old added: "I travel so much in tennis. And some of the players, at some point when I was traveling a lot, I would literally see more than my parents. And so it's really an extended family, and it's your colleagues as well as your competition. And you end up growing to have a lot of respect for all of these women out here that are traveling and working and playing. And you literally see them every week, week in, week out. And through that, I've met a lot of players that we get along. We hang out. We go to their weddings. You know, it's really made me realize that these are lifelong friendships and experiences that so few people can have, because there's so few people that play tennis on this level. And to build, you know, friendships with these people and these women have been really good for me."
