Jennifer Brady talked about the future after losing the 2021 Australian Open Final.

"It was special to play in front of fans in my first grand slam final, so hopefully next year I'm standing here with this [trophy] over here, but tonight is wasn't meant to be, but hopefully there's many more."

"I think I belong at the level. I think winning a Grand Slam is totally achievable...it's within reach," Brady said. "Playing out there obviously I was nervous...it didn't go my way but at the same time coming off court I was like 'ok that feels a little bit normal'."

Naomi Osaka congratulated Brady after won the match Australian Open 2021 Final.

"I told everyone that would listen you were going to be a problem and I was right!"
"I didn't play my last Grand Slam with fans so just to have this energy it really means a lot, so thank you so much for coming."

"I think for me I was really nervous because I wanted it very badly. Every match that I played that I played on Rod Laver I would tap my name because I wanted to see a 2021 under the 2019, so it was just a battle of holding my composure"

"Hopefully I will get as close to their careers as I can," Osaka said of joining that club and she also looked forward to the two majors she hasn't won -- the French Open and Wimbledon.

"For me I feel like there's no reason why I shouldn't do in those tournaments. I think its a matter of being comfortable and hopefully as I play more matches on those surfaces I'll get better."
