2013 Us Open Final: Serena V. Azarenka

[FreeBird]

I wonder if it is all about the slowness of court or is it related to balls. WTA looks fast compared to ATP.

 

[v-verb]

4-1 Serena. Can Vika pull another miracle?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

I hope

 

[rainingaces]

If aza was 4-1 up I wouldn't like her chances but at 4-1 down I think she can win.

16>11,6
stop whining b.t.h, they suck, not in the league of players like fed and serena.

Explain me those numbers. I don't get it.

 

[TERRASTAR18]

serena still looks mentally crushed, despite that lead. almost no reactions anymore. this is not over yet.

did you not see her fist pump?

 

[TERRASTAR18]

Explain me those numbers. I don't get it.

serena-16 slams
djoker-6
nadal-11

you are right and if the wind kicks up again, ut oh!

 

[TERRASTAR18]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

I hope

did the link i give you work?

 

[PSNELKE]

serena-16 slams
djoker-6
nadal-11

That's what I do know. But why would you compare WTA with ATP players?

 

[dafinch]

I'm so glad that Azarenka won the 3rd set.
Not so much because I care about the outcome of the match, but because I'm getting Brent Musberger syndrome:
That's where the announcers fawn all over one player (or team) so much that you start to hate that player.
"Serena has the greatest serve, Isn't Serena great, no one can play anywhere as good as she does, Serena has the greatest return, Isn't Serena great, no one can play anywhere as good as she does, Serena has the best groundstrokes, Isn't Serena great, no one can play anywhere as good as she does, This will be Serena's (insert record here), Serena is the best mover on court, Isn't Serena great, no one can play anywhere as good as she does, Serena is the mentally strongest, Isn't Serena great, no one can play anywhere as good as she does, Oh Serena missed a shot - it's only because of the wind, Isn't Serena great, no one can play anywhere as good as she does..."
McEnroe just said, "Somehow the momentum got on her (Azareka's) side." If he'd bothered to pay attention to the match, he would have seen what was going on.
The CBS announcers have been saying throughout the tournament that "Serena is the overwhelming favorite," and "Serena is the prohibitive favorite." Why were they saying that when they knew perfectly well Azarenka had beater her on hard courts the last two times they played and at last year's US Open it was an even match?
Right now, it is still 50/50 on who will win the match; I hope they will pay attention.

First of all, Aza hasn't won the 3rd set. Secondly, they said she is the prohibitive favorite because she is: Serena was a 4.5 to 1 favorite. Does that mean big favorites don't sometimes lose? Of course not, but they merely reported fact, don't see why you're so bent out shape about that.

 

[rainingaces]

Aza has been 40-15 up a few times on serve and been broken, she doesn't have the mental strength some thought she had.

 

[soyizgood]

BP Serena.... A break here and it's really over.

 

[soyizgood]

Serena breaks for 5-1.

 

[PSNELKE]

Wow that third set scoreline totally ruines it all.

 

[90's Clay]

That had to be the worst serving performance from a top player in the history of this sport

 

[powerangle]

5-1 lead....Serena can't choke this lead away can she???

C'mon!!!

 

[veroniquem]

Ah not much to see in the 3rd but at least we got a dramatic 2nd set.

 

[FreeBird]

serena-16 slams
djoker-6
nadal-11

LOL........

 

[bluetrain4]

Ugh. If it was going to go 3, I at least wanted a close third set.

Not surprised Serena could rebound in the 3rd, but not expecting this. Of course, not over.

 

[Down_the_line]

Got up to go do some dishes at the beginning of the 3rd, come back and it's 5-1 Serena. What happened??

 

[soyizgood]

That had to be the worst serving performance from a top player in the history of this sport

Kournikova's 33 DFs still take the cake.

 

[rainingaces]

RIP WTA what a embarressing final.

 

[TERRASTAR18]

That's what I do know. But why would you compare WTA with ATP players?

results are results. the person i posted to brought nadal and djoker up.

 

[Sid_Vicious]

Anyone else think Serena will kick it into overdrive? Like she did at the end of the first set?

I just had a hunch.

 

[vicnan]

Can't believe the 3rd set turned out to be a bummer after two dramatic sets.

 

[Down_the_line]

Serena ain't chokin this time.

 

[soyizgood]

2 MPs.... I'll gasp if Serena doesn't convert.

 

[PSNELKE]

LOL........

I had a good chucke at that one, too. what makes it even funnier is this..

If you think they suck, your knowledge of tennis is just laughable. And I really don't want to discuss tennis with someone who doesn't know jack **** about it. Good day to you.

16>11,6
stop whining b.t.h, they suck, not in the league of players like fed and serena.

She definately delivered in response to Crose' post. :lol:

 

[powerangle]

double champ points!!!

 

[dafinch]

Kournikova's 33 DFs still take the cake.

When was she ever a top player(not only zero Slams, but zero singles wins, I believe)?

 

[soyizgood]

1 more MP.... Vika being a roach here.

 

[dafinch]

I would've bet my house she wasn't gonna make it easy and win the first match point.

 

[soyizgood]

When was she ever a top player(not only zero Slams, but zero singles wins, I believe)?

She was top 10.

 

[90's Clay]

Just retire Serena, stop picking on these talentless mugs that can't even serve

 

[soyizgood]

And it's over!!

Serena 7-5 6-7 6-1. 17th slam!

 

[Roy125]

Lol I thought this match was horrible but I'm happy Serena won.

 

[dafinch]

...but she gets the second. Okay, to paraphrase Denzel in "Training Day," I'm taking down case on ALL you b.i.t.c.h.es in a few minutes.

 

[TERRASTAR18]

LOL........

11, 12, still not 17.

 

[bluetrain4]

Weird match.

 

[Sid_Vicious]

Congrats to Serena for the 17th major. Legend.

 

[powerangle]

Poor Vika is crying.

Great close from Serena!

 

[Down_the_line]

That's right Serena! You're #1! Loved that big "Come on!" and #1 gesture. That's the victory cry of a champion.

 

[90's Clay]

The death of the WTA

 

[rainingaces]

Azarenka has not got the mental strength still....

 

[veroniquem]

Congrats to Serena. Logical win given her intimidating form all tournament. Better luck to Vika next time. I'm glad she gave it a fight in the 2nd.

 

[Fiji]

Second year in a row Azarenka loses the USO final. Ouch.

 

[FreeBird]

I had a good chucke at that one, too. what makes it even funnier is this..





She definately delivered in response to Crose' post. :lol:

She (or he?) is right. Who knows Nadal, Djokovic?? Azarenka, Radwanska, Errani are household names. :lol:

 

[dafinch]

Just retire Serena, stop picking on these talentless mugs that can't even serve

Why don't YOU retire, with your 2 dozen announcements about Aza's serve-and, while you're at it, take your butt picking, illegally coached, PED swilling Spaniard with you?

 

[Kirijax]

I did not expect that third set to happen the way it did. Wow

 

[martini1]

Vika needs a new coach that works on her service game. You can't beat Serena with that kind of serves.
