Serena Williams’ dream of a magical seventh US Open title was up in flames early Sunday morning as she was beaten in a controversial final by Naomi Osaka 6-2, 6-4.

After Osaka rolled to win the first set – winning five straight games – Williams moved to a 3-1 lead. She immediately lost her serve the next game, smashing her racquet in frustration that earned her the second violation and a point penalty to start the next game.

Sad Williams when presented with questions from ESPN’s Tom Rinaldi in the on-court ceremony said, “I don’t want to be rude, but I don’t want to interrupt. I don’t want to do questions. I just want to tell you guys, [Osaka] played well. This is her first Grand Slam. I know you guys were here rooting and I was rooting too, but let’s make this the best moment we can and we’ll get through it. But let’s give everyone the credit where credit is due and let’s not boo anymore. We’re going to get through this and let’s be positive. Congratulations Naomi. No more booing.”

Osaka said " it was always my dream to play Serena at the U.S open finals and I'm really glad I was able to do that".
