This is how alllll athletes should act. All humans should for that matter. These women are exactly who I want my daughter to look up to, and strive to be like. KindnessMatters class

Incredible class and sportsmanship shown by both young women yesterday. They are the role models young people need today, not models and singers and Kardashians. I'm sure they will play each other many times in the years to come.

Pure class. Both of them. Women’s tennis is in great shape for the next decade.

Did she expect to win every match?

True sportsmanship. I applaud her humanity 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Girls are awesome!!!!! girlpower

🤠

Please, more of these stories. I've had enough of the negative news and the wonderful comments they generate from around the world.

Class act! Politicians and others please pay attention!

Great, but Coco needs to be a bit less dramatic on court. Congrats to both.

Cnnおーめーらー

❤️❤️❤️

They are both amazing👌

Proper lady is Naomi.

Pure class.

Meanwhile....... Kaepernick is still unemployed... 😏

That poor young woman that liberals booed cuz she beat Steroids Williams is doing good.

I like them both.
