Naomi Osaka revealed beating Serena Williams and Venus Williams was “a bit out of body experience” as she felt like she watching herself on TV but also sad at the same time for beating her idols despite knowing that the Williams sisters likely wouldn’t feel that way had they beaten her.
Osaka, who is now 26 years old, impressively managed to beat both Serena and Venus very early in her career.
In her very first match against Serena, Osaka played lights out as she ousted her idol 6-3 6-2 in the 2018 Miami Open first round. A couple of months later, Osaka won her first Grand Slam title in a very impressive way after stunning Serena 6-2 6-4 in the 2018 US Open final.
Before playing Serena for the first time, Osaka already met Venus twice. After losing in their first match at 2017 Wimbledon, Osaka got her revenge by beating the seven-time Grand Slam champion 7-5 6-2 in 2017 October.
On the latest edition of Good Trouble with Nick Kyrgios, Osaka was the guest and Kyrgios asked her to reveal how it felt for her to beat her tennis idols.
