Serena Williams given "brutal" draw at the U.S. Open

During Serena's last match one of the female commentators said the THE ONLY THING that Richard was wrong about.....is that he said that their run would not be that long.

What a great thing to be wrong about.

They have carried AMERICAN TENNIS, period, & they should be respected for that. I can barely name a top American who has won majors & is still playing. They are the hope, the beacon, & the fire.

This was a good match. The outcome was predictable, but Venus put up a fight and made Serena work for it.


I recall Venus saying when they were younger that she can beat Serena but only does to make a point. She never liked beating her because Serena takes it too serious

Doubt that has changed
 
Pretty good stats for the match overall:

Serena didn't even play THAT badly in the 2nd set. She just blinked and it was over. It was defo in the Top 5 of their matches. I'd still say 2003 AO F, 2008 Wimbledon F, and 2008 US Open QF were better.....but this was pretty good even though it was never really in doubt.

I really hope Venus can somehow win another major. May the seeds just all fall, the seas part, and Jesus comes down and walk her to the title (Marion Bartoli style)! If Venus wins another major (which isn't categorically impossible), it's hands down the best accomplishment in tennis ever. It would be such an unreal comeback and an insane moment.

She needs to hold serve in this third set. I thought she was going to make quick work of this chick.

Vinci has been doing this all tournament. No one gives her a shot and she finds a way to persevere. It will be a large task for her to take the 3rd set though, but I do applaud her monstrous effort during this tournament.
 
I hope Serena pulls this off, but this is a great match. Vinci is focused. Serena looks physically and emotionally drained.
 
...this is that 'she don't have shit to lose' game. Trap Match. Sort of how Berto is looking at the fight tomorrow night.

She's supposed to lose, so she's loose. Serena looks tight as hell :smh:
 
It's not looking good. Serena is beginning to look like she doesn't have any more in the tank.
