The boos were directed at the chair ump and the tournament in general.

WHy what happened?

She received a warning for receiving coaching from the crowd (I dont think she deserved it, personally), she received a 2nd warning for slamming her racket to the ground, which resulted in a point penalty (this was deserved). She received a third warning for verbally harassing the official, which resulted in an entire game penalty (I dont know if the language she used necessarily warranted this, but she went on for a very long time).

The crowd was cheering for Serena, and Serena was the one prolonging the scene, so the crowd started booing heavily. Even during the start of the award ceremony. As I said, though, it wasnt directed at Osaka at all. She got loud ovations when she was presented the trophy, as well as during her outdoor interview with the ESPN crew.
