Twilight Of The Idols.

Every once in a while, you are watching when something historic happens: An unseeded player beats a living legend. It is tough, but inevitable. Maybe the younger player thinks, "could I have beaten him in his prime"? The veteran may be thinking along the same lines, but sucks it up and is gracious in defeat.

What to make then of the fiasco that was the Ladies US Open final?

Osaka gushed about how she loves Serena in the post-semi final interview. All her life, Ms. Williams was a legend. In the match, Osaka was better, she won the first set and was even in the 2nd. Then Serena had an epic melt down. It is one thing to see your idol defeated, age takes us all, but to see her act so classless. Wow!

This was no tennis god, she was all too Human.

Not in a good way!
