NEW YORK (AP) – Naomi Osaka won the U.S. Open to become the first Grand Slam champion from Japan, beating Serena Williams 6-2, 6-4 after the American was penalized one game for a third code violation. Williams was given three code violations by chair umpire Carlos Ramos, the third leading to an automatic loss of a game in the second set. The third violation was given to Williams after she said the umpire had stolen a point from her on an earlier violation. The second code violation cost Williams a point, meaning Osaka had a 15-0 edge before hitting her first serve in the sixth game of the second set. She resumed that argument after the second violation, still angry about the first violation.
