Women' s Singles Final : Naomi Osaka (20) won her second WTA tournament in career (first Grand Slam and both on hard), defeating
Serena Williams (17) 6-2, 6-4 after 1h 19'

In first set the Japanese player didn' t feel any pressure for her first Grand Slam final and she broke Serena two times in a row, in third and fifth game, closing the set 6-2 after 35'; in second set Serena managed to break Osaka in fourth game, but she was immediately broke back, then Serena received a first warning for "coaching" and a second for "racket abuse" and she totally lost control, losing again her serve and calling the chair umpire a "thief", resulting in a game penalty, with Osaka who went 5-3 and closed the match in 10th game at the second match-point and becoming the first Japanese player ever to win a Grand Slam tournament and reaching from next Monday her best ranking at N° 7, while Serena lost her second consecutive Grand Slam final after the pregnancy.
