Naomi Osaka apologizes for unintentional trolling Jennifer Brady

Naomi Osaka apologizes for unintentional trolling Jennifer Brady.

Naomi Osaka and Jennifer Brady collided in the 2021 Australian Open final, with the Japanese super star winning the competition and claim her 4th slam, the 2nd at Melbourne park.

Naomi had one of her humorous moments during the post championship ceremony.

The Japanese champion asked Brady how she would like to be called (Jennifer or Jenny). The rising American star replied: “Jenny.” However, Naomi was most probably lost in the moment and instead of addressing her Jenny went on to say: “First I want to congratulate Jennifer…”

The obvious reaction was viral and resulting in a widespread troll all over social media, everyone laughed at the gaffe.

Regrettably, the social media and some media channels accused Naomi of deliberately trolling Brady, but the truth is that it was involuntary.

Therefore, Naomi had to take to Twitter to clarify her position and saying that she was sorry about that. “Omg no I promise you my mind thought I called her Jenny in that moment and I was so confused why the crowd was laughing. I’m so sorry,” she posted.

Naomi Osaka and Serena Williams receive an emotional message from Michelle Obama.

Ash Barty probably the most modest player on the planet

February 16, 2021 Nirmal Sawlani Ashleigh Barty Australian Open Spotlight

Ash Barty probably the most modest player on the planet!

Ash Barty plays a team game in singular pursuit of home glory.
The world No 1 has never worked unaided and, as she parades on the way to the 2021 Australian Open final, continues to prosper with her support crew.

It is common to hear Ash Barty speak in first-person pronouns, and she does so in plurals. “We” while she is implying that it not only about her and that her crew is very much part of the journey.

Normally tennis is looked at as an individual sport. Barty’s is the sole name atop the WTA rankings. But this Australian has never functioned alone. The “we” implies her team. “They” points to her “family”, some in blood, others in every way but.

Barty’s crew is a power packed with coach Craig Tyzzer, mentor Ben Crowe, golfer boyfriend Gary Kissick, and a “certain Englishman” among the minor congregation in her box. She explains this “red cherry face” is her latest strength and shape up coach, Mark Taylor.

Barty’s game is hers, but it is also one built on resourcefulness garnered from elite sporting relationships with surfer Stephanie Gilmour and Richmond Tigers captain Trent Cotchin, among others.

It is such resourcefulness that helped her to easily overcome the fourth-round challenger Shelby Rogers, in a 6-3, 6-4 result that sets up her entry into the last eight with a quarter final clash Karolina Muchova, the Czech who played her magic on Elise Mertens.

Monday night was predictable in all ways but one – as roars from the “crowd” were heard only from the TV screen, Barty and Rogers heard nothing as they played to an empty stadium.

A crowd filled with fans can impact a player’s game in significant ways, lift a qualifier to excellence or sink the best competitor on the planet. Barty, on the other hand, could play on the moon in indistinguishable fashion. Any drop in form or mid-match inconsistency is usually only down to core forces or injury.

Indeed, the only thing she bears similarity with Nick Kyrgios is that the pair feature in a ubiquitous Uber Eats advertisement (alongside Sacha Baron Cohen). Her face shows no signs of Kyrgios’s bling and bluster, instead she is the personification of modesty. She is not one of these celebs who thrive on the word of the paparazzi instead she had recently stated that “that external recognition” is not her thing.

Calm consistency is the way she operates, and Barty does not so much play as conduct surgery. Barty is characterized by her subtle game style as she silently goes about her job of winning without any fanfare or roar.

After the butterfly settled on her leg in the 2nd set, Osaka tenderly carried the insect trespasser to safety at the side of the court. But the butterfly snubbed her as it landed on her face, much to everyone’s enjoyment. “Even Australian butterflies are in love with you,” was the popular thread on Twitter.

It was a picture-perfect moment as Osaka gently tried to rid herself of the butterfly and returned to complete an easy 6-3, 6-2 victory over Tunisian 27th seed Ons Jabeur. The 3rd seed and champion in Melbourne 2 years ago, will now have a epic showdown with last year’s runner-up Garbine Muguruza.

The video of Naomi Osaka’s on-court encounter with a butterfly was widely shared on social media, with people remarking on how nicely she managed the whole incident.
