NEW YORK -- Naomi Osaka became the first Japanese player to win a Grand Slam after she defeated Serena Williams 6-2, 6-4 on Saturday.

The match was interrupted by issues between Williams and umpire Carlos Ramos, who handed Serena three violations, including a game penalty that put Osaka up 5-3 in the second set.

Williams had been given a first violation by Carlos Ramos for coaching earlier in the set, telling him that she'd "rather lose'' than cheat.

She resumed that argument after the second violation, still angry about the first violation.
