World No. 3 Naomi Osaka (23 = Nissin Foods) won the championship for the first time in two years. Defeated No. 24 Jennifer Brady (USA) 6-4, 6-3 in a row. The Big Four tournament victory, which is the fourth time in a row in four years, came from a strong mindset that is unshakable even in the ruin of the crown.
It returned to 2nd place in the world rankings on the 22nd. It boosted the gold medal of the Tokyo Olympics (Olympics) held on the same hard court.

A voice echoes down the center court. The Hinomaru flinched and the fan’s forehead was wrapped in a “winning” headband. “Do your best, Naomi.” When he smiled at the voice, Osaka slowly entered the toilet. I did a 174km / h kick at match point.
At the moment of victory, he said: “I was very happy. My hands were shaking.” He put the racket on his head and jumped up with a smile. In Japanese, “I did the best I could. I won.” Thumbs up with both hands, he sent a victory message to Japanese fans watching television.
The center court can accommodate up to 14,820 people. However, due to infectious disease control, the number of visitors was limited by half, to 7,477. In fact, 7381 people came in and it was almost “full.” “Thank you very much for coming to see me.” Osaka expressed her gratitude from the bottom of her heart and endlessly responded to the cues to the audience after the award ceremony.
Due to the wind, the launch is disturbed and the probability of the first service is 48%. In the first to seven games, the final was the worst. He was “very nervous” because he wanted to win and didn’t want to make a mistake. An error helped me. However, he was proud of his fourth win and said, “The goal is to win five times. The next thing is seven to eight times. And ten times.”
The Australian Open is usually held in January. It took time to crack down on the new crown, and it was postponed to February. Australia, which in principle does not accept foreign travelers, welcomed athletes with strict measures against infectious diseases. While it is possible to leave five hours a day, two weeks of quarantine were essential after entering the country.
PCR tests were performed daily for the two weeks. If a player on a charter flight was positive, the passenger was forced to be completely quarantined after entering the country, unable to leave the room. The tournament, which started with spectators, was forced to run for five days without spectators.
Still, Osaka’s strength was unshakeable. We enjoyed Netflix and food in the room and even the noise from the countryside. “I just enjoy eating so I got a bit fat,” he said with a sour smile. At the award ceremony, he placed a silver trophy and said, “A colleague who has passed the quarantine together. This is for you.” Osaka reigns as the true queen with a victory that inspires herself, not to be defeated by Corona.
◆ Australian Open Tennis will be broadcast live every day from February 8-21 on WOWOW Live. Scheduled to be delivered simultaneously in WOWOW on demand.
