  2. 'Osaka in a league of her own'

    Laura Robson
    Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Naomi Osaka found another gear every time she was put in a tough position. She is in a league of her own because she brings her best level in the tightest moments. She looks so calm - there was almost no reaction and she's just won a Grand Slam!

  3. Osaka 6-4 6-3 Brady

    To win this title, Naomi Osaka had to beat two-time major champion Garbine Muguruza and the one and only Serena Williams.

    Truly, no-one can match her on a hard court right now.

    Annabel Croft
    Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 Live

    A sensational run through the tournament, beating Garbine Muguruza and Serena Williams.

    She never looked in doubt, she had too much for Brady who just couldn't find her best serve.

    What a fantastic performance from Osaka.

  6. Osaka 6-4 6-3 Brady

    A huge smile for Naomi Osaka as she waves to the crowd, with everyone in her box having a giant group hug.

    *Osaka 6-4 5-3 Brady

    A pair of very good serves from Jen Brady, and Naomi Osaka will have to serve this one out.

  12. Deuce on Brady serve

    Osaka 6-4 5-2 Brady*

    Serve out wide, followed up by a winner, and Osaka applauds her opponent for a quite brilliant shot.

    Game point, Brady - but that is a thunderous return of serve from Osaka to take us to deuce.

  13. Osaka 6-4 5-2 Brady*

    Ouch. Another big miss on the backhand from Brady.

    30-30.

  14. Osaka 6-4 5-2 Brady*

    Naomi Osaka completely changes the direction of a rally to smash a winner into the corner of the court.

    It's 0-15 but Jennifer Brady finds a forehand winner of her own before getting herself in front as Osaka goes long.

    Here we go...

  16. Laura Robson

    I feel for Brady because she's not played her best tennis in this match.

  17. Osaka within touching distance of trophy

    Osaka 6-4 5-2 Brady*

    That's a horrible miss from Jen Brady!

    She swings herself off her feet with this forehand but it misses by a yard.

    Naomi Osaka is a game away from the title.

  18. *Osaka 6-4 4-2 Brady

    Game point to Osaka, thanks to an ominious forehand that Brady cannot return cleanly.

    This is really good from Brady, who is slipping and sliding all over the place just to get those balls back over, and Osaka snatches a forehand out of bounds.

    40-30.

  19. *Osaka 6-4 4-2 Brady

    "A big game for Naomi Osaka," the TV commentator muses.

    So what does she do? Blast down a huge first serve and then an ace to get to 30-0.

    That's a terrific defensive return from Brady though, somehow keeping herself in a rally as she's sent back and forth behind the baseline, and it's Osaka who makes the error as her forehand deflects off the tape and goes out.

  20. Brady holds

    Just what Jennifer Brady ordered - a love hold in next to no time.
