Doing something in your sport that nobody else in your country has ever done. Winning your first major / grand slam title. And beating one of the, if not the greatest player to ever play your sports. Check, check, check for our Sportswoman of the Week. Naomi Osaka of Japan (actually from Osaka, Japan) defeated Serena Williams in straight sets to win the United States Open. The 20 year old future star only gave up six games total (6-2, 6-4) to the American legend in the final, and throughout the two week tournament, only dropped a set. It was amazingly only Osaka's second tour win as she rose to number 7 in the world. Fans are already excited for a potential rematch in future major tournaments, but for now Osaka can enjoy being the Sportswoman of the Week!
