US Open 2020: ‘Naomi Osaka is special’, Twitter reacts to Japanese World No 9’s comeback win in final – Sports News , Firstpost

Naomi Osaka won her second US Open title on Saturday, rallying to beat Victoria Azarenka of Belarus 1-6, 6-3, 6-3.

Osaka, just 22, won her third Grand Slam title by turning around the match after playing poorly in the first set.

Azarenka fell to 0-3 in US Open finals, all in three sets. She lost to Serena Williams in both the 2012 and 2013 final.

Here’s how Twitter reacted to Osaka’s incredible victory:
