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.

I said as much earlier, but if there's one we know about Serena, its that's she's a good revenge player. She's treated Henin and Sharapova like that in the past (after a loss), so if Vika wins today, I see this as but the beginning of the only battle in the WTA. In other words, the rest of the field should sit back and wath, because they will have no place on court.

I predict Azarenka will quickly mop up the 3rd set. Serena has had more than enough chances to win this match and take the title but blew them all. I don't think I have ever seen her so unclutch in the final of a big match.

I think Azarenka will be crowned the new Queen of Women's Tennis tonight.

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.

If Vika is smart she will not get to 5 games before Serena. The person how reach 5 games first will lose the set due to nerves.
If Serena does win, she will say that Vika played great and that she herself played terrible. And the wind is a good excuse for anyone.

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.

I'm not going anywhere, I went to get a snack and was watching from the downstairs TV. My life isn't gonna change one iota with the result of this match.

Serena's choce when she reaches a drop shot has been 100% of the time putrid, but Vika outchokes her and double faults the game away. Unreal...
