First Grand Slam Title for 20-year old Naomi Osaka, against 36-year old Serena Williams.
This was the most bizarre Grand Slam Final ever. It was unreal, surreal, with extremely high emotions and intense drama...with tears rolling down the eyes of the two women competitors.
I believe that from now on there is going to be better clarity in the rules of coaching from the stands. ...On the way Marvel superheroes from the comic books and Disney Hollywood movies are influencing the dress code on the tennis courts, on the tennis association being more open and clear in explaining their expectations, on better dialog, better diplomacy, role model image, advertisements for sports apparels, runners, wardrobes, ..., on etiquette, on common sense, on control of emotions and egos, on flexibility with the rules, on comportment, on wisdom, on everything that counts to make it better for everyone.
Everyone is doing it (coaching) and no one ever got penalized for it, but it is in the book of rules as a punishable infraction. The tension though started before, when Selena was trailing behind on her serves, and you could tell some emotional frustration. The umpire (tower chair referee) gave a warning first about coaching, and after that everything went south, with the volcano erupting.

Serena Williams, is she catwoman?
