Now both are on the semis. Want to put my bet on them both but Novak looks sharp as ever. A dream match in the finals vs Serena might just happen for Naomi Osaka. Looks possible I think. Kei must play an out of this world game to get past Djokovic and most likely Nadal in the finals. Very tough task. In other news: Keep safe Japan, strongest typhoon in 25 years and then 6.7 earthquake in Hokkaido. Too much beating in such a short span and sadly some casualties.
48 members from Hokkaido Stay safe, Godspeed! Edit: an aesthetic found after the earthquake: https://twitter.com/ConaGraphic/status/1037414067005095936?s=19
Talk about a dream final (for me)! “This is going to sound really bad, but I was just thinking I really want to play Serena,” Osaka said in an on-court interview. “I love you (Serena). I love everybody.” 17 S. Williams 20 N. Osaka
Naomi Osaka is the real deal. This girl got game and the right attitude. First Japanese singles major winner. Serena is still Serena. She's beaten her idol Serena twice now. The future is bright for this girl. EDIT: As I was only looking at 'live scores', I didn't know about the fiasco happening towards the end of the match and trophy presentation. So many articles coming out now. Poor girl, hope this only motivates her even more. She's bound to reach greater heights. Still, no one can take away from her this great achievement.
Watching AKB48 in Jakarta last weekend. On the Sunday show, my friend asked me to get into the stage early so I'd get the front seat. Yeah I got the front seat and AKB48 members were close but I got a hearing problem later due to the noises. Actually I just needed a sleep to recover. I got better after woke up in the Monday morning. Did 48/46/other idols wear earplug while performing? The music is very noisy that can damage hearing.

^From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naomi_Osaka: "Osaka has dual Japanese and American citizenship but she is not fully fluent in Japanese."
So Japan actually allows dual citizenship? I heard actor & singer Miyavi has dual citizenship Japanese & American too.
