2013 Us Open Final: Serena V. Azarenka

[6-1 6-3 6-0]

We have a third set.

 

[JadeC]

Another set point.

YES! Azarenka takes the 2nd set!

 

[soyizgood]

Vika takes the set!!

 

[MasturB]

Keep Fighting Vika!

 

[90's Clay]

Comeeee On!!!!!!!

Yes!!!

 

[Roy125]

This is the worst choke job I've ever seen in my life.

 

[bluetrain4]

I don't care what ANYBODY says, this is a great tennis match!!!

Well, I agree, it's great drama. The actual tennis has been spotty though

 

[Bud]

Quite tenacious, this Azarenka

- -

Nice it's not another straight set dud

 

[TMF]

Yeah !

We get to see another hard fought set.

 

[Sid_Vicious]

So much respect for both players.

 

[powerangle]

Wow! Vika pushes it to a third! Damn...

 

[tennisjedi]

so happy azarenka came back
Hope she wins in 3.

 

[Devil_dog]

I think Vika is going to ask if she can just return serves for the entire 3rd set! lol

 

[vicnan]

I don't care what ANYBODY says, this is a great tennis match!!!

The quality is a lot better than the Wimbledon final.

 

[Kirijax]

Don't really care which wins, but Azarenka is probably the most annoying player I've ever had to watch. Style, facial expressions, hooting, everything.

 

[soyizgood]

Well, I agree, it's great drama. The actual tennis has been spotty though

QFT... sloppy all over.

 

[FreeBird]

Woohoooo...This tie breaker was similar to Cincy's. Amazing transformation of Azarenka from the biggest choker to an iron lady. :respect:

 

[counterloop]

Well, I agree, it's great drama. The actual tennis has been spotty though

Of course, you have to consider the weather, the nerves, the occasion.

 

[guitarplayer]

Dementieva should come out of retirement, she never choked this much!

I just spit out my diet coke!!!

 

[Strategy]

Well, I agree, it's great drama. The actual tennis has been spotty though

This. Lots of drama, so much choking. I wish I could see this happen on the men's side sometime haha, but Djokovic/Nadal would never allow it

 

[soyizgood]

Vika 8-1 in tire-breaks in 2013.

 

[bluetrain4]

OMG!!!

Like I said previously, common sense says Vika should win the third, but I have absolutely no idea what will happen, and honestly believe that anything from 6-2 Vika to 6-2 Serena, to either playing winning in a tiebreak could happen.

That was just bad by Serena. Great fight by Vika.

 

[Strategy]

The quality is a lot better than the Wimbledon final.

Not hard to beat that lackluster final

 

[eliars]

Wow! What a match. What intensity.

Serena's emotionally frail while Azarenka has displayed incredible calmness and emotional balance even when she was down 1-4... Great!

 

[hugobosstachini]

This rivalry is so good. They should meet in all GS finals... hope the third set will be great !

 

[PSNELKE]

Don't really care which wins, but Azarenka is probably the most annoying player I've ever had to watch. Style, facial expressions, hooting, everything.

She's a tomboy. A punk. That facial expression when she won the set, no kidding she looked like Novak..

And Serena.. well she's being Serena. Drama queen at her very best.

 

[90's Clay]

 

[TERRASTAR18]

This isn't about Fed. This is about you insulting Rafa & Novak, and claiming that they don't play better than Azarenka.

And I don't want to derail this, but 21-10.

the point is they suck....now if aza time wasted like them them you would have a point. one question, who's the better volleyer djoker or vika? it's not an insult it's the truth. they are so boring i had to bring in fed to make this boring conversation exciting.

 

[Tennusdude]

If it goes to the 3rd, Azarenka will have an advantage over a possibly deflated Serena.

Unfortunately you are so very wrong. Oh how I wish you were right because I would love to see Serena lose. However, Serena quite often chokes away the second set only to bear down in the third set. I hope you are right and I am wrong.

 

[FreeBird]

This. Lots of drama, so much choking. I wish I could see this happen on the men's side sometime haha, but Djokovic/Nadal would never allow it

AO 12Nadal BH miss.
RG 13 Djokovic net incident.

 

[6-1 6-3 6-0]

She's a tomboy. A punk. That facial expression when she won the set, no kidding she looked like Novak..

Hopefully she'll be ripping off her shirt if she wins.

 

[Tomxc]

Can Azarenka become the first person in 19 years to win the U.S. Open after losing the first set...

 

[romeo8880]

Man, Azarenka would be so dominant if she could serve. Unfortunately, she can't.

 

[veroniquem]

Amazing from Vika. Very entertaining 2nd set. I can't believe people here prefer arguing about Nadal. This is a fun match. Go along for the ride.

 

[Sid_Vicious]

This. Lots of drama, so much choking. I wish I could see this happen on the men's side sometime haha, but Djokovic/Nadal would never allow it

Are you kidding? Djokovic and Nadal matches are full of ridiculous drama. In the 2011 USO final, Djokovic and Nadal could hardly hold serve. There were 18 breaks of serves in that match. 2012 AO-Djokovic was flopping on the ground after every other point in the 5th set. And the infamous overhead misses by Djokovic at this years FO SF.

 

[v-verb]

I can't find a channel to watch it in the Toronto area dammit

 

[romeo8880]

Hopefully she'll be ripping off her shirt if she wins.

We can all dream

 

[forzamilan90]

Hopefully she'll be ripping off her shirt if she wins.

this would be the first and only time I ever agree with you

 

[hugobosstachini]

This is the US Open 2012 in reverse. Victoria served for the match and chocked, 'twas Serena's turn.

 

[Down_the_line]

Amazing from Vika. Very entertaining 2nd set. I can't believe people here prefer arguing about Nadal. This is a fun match. Go along for the ride.

It's like he's a God who commands that he must be mentioned in every thread.

 

[rainingaces]

Man, Azarenka would be so dominant if she could serve. Unfortunately, she can't.

Apparently her serve is good for WTA.

 

[Mainad]

My feeling is that Serena has blown this one big time. TWO opportunities to serve it out plus an early mini-break in the tie-break and she fails to close it out each and every time!

Azarenka now has the look of someone who's back in with a vengeance. She has Serena's number and won't let go now. I sense a change of the guard at the top of women's tennis is about to happen because if Serena goes on to lose this match, the psychological blow to her will be devastating.

 

[90's Clay]

This would have to be the most devastating loss of Serena's career.. What was she up? 2 breaks??

 

[TERRASTAR18]

I can't find a channel to watch it in the Toronto area dammit

try this, or lshunter

 

[AngieB]

Why are Rafael and Novak being discussed in the women's final discussion thread? Its the oddest thing I've ever seen (besides Serena serving for the match twice and not converting).

AngieB

 

[veroniquem]

It's like he's a God who commands that he must be mentioned in every thread.

I love Rafa (and Novak) but this bickering is preposterous. Great final. Those women deserve the spotlight for right now.

 

[FreeBird]

Hopefully she'll be ripping off her shirt if she wins.

Bring it on.. Azarenka FTW then. :twisted:

 

[TMF]

Dafinch, please call the suicide prevention line stat. I havent heard from you in while. I dont want you to do anything drastic, I like to argue with you.

LOL. I hope someone is not dying just because the result of a tennis match.

 

[DRII]

This isn't about Fed. This is about you insulting Rafa & Novak, and claiming that they don't play better than Azarenka.

And I don't want to derail this, but 21-10.

why are so many Serena-bots fedephants as well

 

[Tennusdude]

Man, Azarenka would be so dominant if she could serve. Unfortunately, she can't.

Well that would seem to make sense, however, Serena has the best serve ever in womens tennis and she isnt dominating even with a 5-2 lead
