TENNIS : NAOMI OSAKA WINS MAIDEN TITLE AT INDIAN WELLS; DELIVERS 'WORST VICTORY SPEECH OF ALL TIME' ?
"The future of women's tennis", writes The Telegraph @TelegraphSport.

Never mind she doesn’t know how to deliver fancy speeches - - yet.

This 20-year-old Japanese sensation will make big waves in sport, for sure.

Naomi Osaka @Naomi_Osaka_ clinches her first Title in her young career, at Indian Wells, after beating fellow 20-year-old Daria Kasatkina @DKasatkina in a brutal fashion, 6-3; 6-2.

NAOMI OSAKA
Naomi is the first unseeded player to win the Title, and is also the youngest since Ana Ivanovic.

She dismissed women's tennis heavyweights - - the likes of former World No. 2 Agnieszka Radwańska, former World No. 1 Karolína Plíšková, and current World No. 1 Simona Halep -- on her way to the Championship Finals.

And,her opponent, Daria Kasatkina, is, by no means, a pushover, too.

She annihilated Sloane Stephens, Caroline Wozniacki, Angelique Kerber, and Venus Williams - - all Grand Slam Champions - - also on her way to the Finals.

Under immense pressure in uncharted territory, Naomi Osaka, just prevailed over Daria Kasatkina, with class.

Apparently to overcome her nerves in her first-ever victory speech following the Championship Match, Naomi just giggles all over, to the bemusement of the crowd.

She then called her own speech, “probably the worst acceptance speech of all time”.

From a PR perspective, that counterline is actually genius.
