After starting 4-4 in the opening set, cruises through to her 2nd Australian Open Championship and 4th Career Major Title!! 🏆🏆🏆🏆

Naomi wins 6 straight games by not letting Brady get her feet set, and by attacking her backhand.

This was a battle between two power hitters and as Naomi said in her speech on the podium "I told everyone that you were going to be a problem, and I was right."

Brady seemed rattled in key moments of the match, while Osaka was calm, and composed. She's become very mentally strong at just 23 years of age, and will likely win her first grass court (Wimbledon) and clay court (French Open) major championships in the near future!!
