Third career Top 10 win for Nadia Podoroska!
also, this was serena's 1000th career match 💫
@@speakwithonevoice636 Do you mean highlights on youtube or on WTA TV? I can only find 3 highlighted matches of the tournament in Rome so far on youtube.
@@speakwithonevoice636 I agree with you that it's odd the highlights of the Osaka match were posted later here even though it finished earlier.
@@speakwithonevoice636 how many 2nd round highlights would you like to watch here? So far today only this one and Osaka-Pegula.
@@speakwithonevoice636 I agree with you, it makes no sense when you put it like that. My guess is that the WTA figures you tube watchers are more likely to click on the Serena thumbnail than the Sabalenka one. That is unfair to fans of other players of course, maybe the reason is they think a more than average tennis fan will watch all the highlights on their paid site. I did not ever encounter this problem before with ATP highlights on youtube by the way. Do you watch those as well?
I like how Nadia Podoroska saluted Serena at the end. Very pretty human respect.
very classy indeed.
And she is from Cordoba, were i was born. This kind of things is what represent us, not only Kirchner, Buenos Aires and soccer is Argentina. Proud of Podoroska
@@agus.L Great vibes from Argentinian people I have met xx :) Keep it that way, greetings.
@@saturndirect8085 duhhh she's nice
@@agus.L Nacio en Rosario amigo.
congrats Serena on your 1000th match and congrats to Podoroska on your win. Don't forget that Podoroska made it to the semis of the french open. Clay is her best surface. It's not like she's a nobody on clay.
She's not nobody, she is young player in making, but she's barely hanging in top 50 only because FO points (she keeps it until October, 52 weeks cycle)
It must be noticed that she got crushed by Swiatek in that semifinal though, she's not top 30 quality player at the moment.
Not like recent Iga's scores are much better though, she's also in slump.
@@SmithyPL Yep,Iga's looking little shaky, it's gonna be quite a challenge to defend her title, also a lot depends on the draw too
I’m waiting still for Podoroska’s first title… still waiting…. Oh just tree against the GOAT and can’t beat other players in the top 500 to win a friggin small title
Podoroska was so gracious at the net.
why ?
@@gfbianco because she's a nice person?
And because of the stature of her opponent...
@@gfbianco Because Serena is one of her idols.
@@dtv2031 no grandslams tho lol
Serena actually moved well and played well, just has a really low first serve percentage and was missing shots that could’ve been winners. If she can find her serve and find the lines, she can do well. Faced a really consistent, good clay court player in Podoroska who just made the SF of RG.
That was sad to watch because Serena hit like 35 winners to 33 unforced errors while Nadia only hit 24 winners to 18 unforced errors. Serena needs to clean up her unforced errors and shouldn’t always go for winners unless she gives herself some margin.
@@spillomina I guess that margin comes with match play you know. 10 weeks off and not too horrible of a showing.
She will definitely need to brush more and wait to kill the ball
@@black_nebula That is so true. She should start playing matches during her practice sessions like she used to!
@@spillomina yes it would help her play some conditioned points.
@@spillomina The more aggressive you play,the more room for errors,35-33 is a good winners to errors ratio for an aggressive player, similarly Podorosko played very well,she went for her shots and was never passive,24-18 is a great ratio for her controlled aggression
Idola la pequee !! vamosss Argentina
🇦🇷🇦🇷💙💙
No.le digas peque.es un insulto.
DALEEE NADIAAAA AGUANTE ARGENTINA CARAJOO 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷❤️❤️
Nadia! What a wonderful player!! Love her quickness and her gritty determination! Serena looked very good actually. Glad she played well.
Yes, I agreed. Congratulations to Nadia for a well deserved win
First round exit
Gran triundo de Nadia!! Vamos Argentina!! Eso se llama fortaleza mental, claridad de objetivos y disciplina. Cuanto tenemos que aprender de ella los argentinos.
Me dio pena que ella con toda emoción quería darle la mano a su ídola y Serena le puso la raqueta 😢😢
@@byronwnunez-candelaria8259 Es ciertooo
Can I just say I don't think Serena is moving badly or even that she played badly. She seems fit, geared up. I honestly don't even know what went wrong in this match. All I can say is that Nadia must I've simply played better.
UEs..not moving her feet..relying too much on power etc
@@demigod1013 nah I actually think she moved a lot better on the clay this year than last year I do think her speed and footwork can do with some work but really she did NOT play badly this match come on
@@demigod1013 that wasn’t it. It was her first serve percentage. Serena was moving her feet and moving well, she just wasn’t sliding extremely well or constructing points the best. That takes time to get it back for someone isn’t a natural on clay
@@aydenanthony6508 you’re right that her movement wasn’t bad here. She is definitely moving better than the last couple of years. It really is just a lack of match play that cost her this match. It’s not an excuse because Serena obviously knowingly skipped the tournaments until this point. But to put it plainly, she wasn’t at her sharpest in terms of execution (below 50% first serves would just not cut it if the opponent is playing solid tennis) and that cost her. There were definitely plenty of positives (in terms of her potential) to take away from the match though.
@@oatsgoats39 y’all just be saying any fucking thing.
Fact: the last time serena williams lost to a South American (2000) it was also against an Argentine
Who was her opponent? Gabriela Sabatini?
@@olivermartinez5204 Paola Suarez
@Viz India Great no, paola suarez
She probably didn't play any other south Americans between Suarez and podoroska
Congrats Nadia!!!
This is tough for me to watch Serena like this because I've been
watching her since she Venus and her broke onto the scene as teenagers.
Serena is an overweight, middle-aged woman right now and she'll never
win another major unless she makes a real effort to get in shape. The
quickness is gone. She can still move really well, but that ability to
change direction quickly just isn't there as evidenced by here getting
wrong-footed by so many shots. She still has power to spare and the
serve is a major weapon, but it hurts to watch this woman who I barely
recognize out there.
I've reached a stage of acceptance. You'll get there soon.
@@lambsquad_9047 lmfaooo yoo
You must be old
Nothing but love for Serena. More match play. Years ago, she could take off months at a time and come back and win championships. Things have changed. She needs to play when she can and stay fit. She looked absolutely fabulous at the Australian Open. It is great to see her back.
Lmao
How silly can you be......
Genial Nadia. Impresionante triunfo ante una leyenda del tenis.
Serena's looking really good, strong and fit but first match on clay when you're rusty is always tough. Her opponent was sharp, played great and stayed focused.
its insane to think she's 39yo
I completely agree, I think it was a good outing she just missed by a little on the big points, yet it seems with 2 weeks until RG she’ll be able to refine this and make the shots on the big points
Excuses
@@Mean.Devil77787 excuses for what ? lol she's 23 GS and still playing at 39, tell why should she find excused ? no other player in the history has her carrer XD
@@obamainpotin6759 You can't use her age as an excuse. We don't care your age, you're either good or not, this moving so well at 39 or as a mother is disrespectful to the winners as she is being trashed from tournament to tournament, same applies to Venus.
We should be careful on Money disposal, if you are not spending to earn or get back money,then stop spending..

@@venukalyanbusinesslifecoac702
That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Mr Bernado Green his strategies are really good in binary options..
@@wisdomsolomon4432 Yeah, My first investment with Mr Bernado Green earned me profit of over $45,700
dollars, and ever since then he has been delivering me,
That fourth game was a perfect example of the kind of intensity and agression Serena needs to bring and maintain throughout the match. She brought some of it late in the purple patch from 2-5 to 5-5 (although there were some errors from Nadia) in the second set. Of course it’s easier said than done but there’s still time to the French Open and at least we know that Serena does still have that instinct in her.
All that aside, it was a wonderfully solid match by Nadia and she was the steadier of the two so well deserved win for her. 👏🏻
that was 1000th match of Serena, and she lose it
HEY, WILL YOU SAY NOTHING ABOUT PODOROSKA'S WONDERFUL TRIUMPH?
Good job Nadia. That's we call fight.
I think Serena needs to find the balance between not playing enough and playing a lot. I know she wants to conserve her body but she should’ve played a clay court tournament prior. She did have some great moments however hopefully the rust will wear off she tends to bounce back quickly. Very Impressive win for Nadia she did everything right in this match she’s got the perfect game for this surface.
Yes She should have played a tournament before this one.
Serena's days of rocking up to tournaments after being off for months and working her way into match fitness are pretty much over. Anyone in the top 40 can win against her.
Sadly she can no longer dominate.
@@terencewong4687 Time for her to begin coaching.
@@lilydog1000 Yes, retire gracefully.
Nah I disagree- I think she’s still got something in her. It’s just because she’s had time off. But only time will tell and it’s her decision in the end of the day
But yet she makes it to the semis and finals at every grand slam

Serena definitely gave it her all. Congrats to Nadia!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Serena u can't play ur last match in January n expect to come bk n just carry on. You're 40 not 20
Honestly I think it's a bit of a double edged sword. I agree that she needs to play more matches but at the same time if she plays too many matches, that's a lot of wear and tear on her body at 40. It's kind of tough.
@@fans-ed1td I know if u noticed her lack of grand slams has been due to lack of matches. If u check her past when she wins slams is when she's had consistent match build up except for 07 Australian open even she barely won tournaments after that till she was able to build matches in 08 that made her razor sharp tough in 08 US open. So this thing she's doing is reducing her chances of winning another slam.. Seriously. She's not winning French open. Her best chance is wimbledon n she needs matches
@@vechris2001 yup. She mostly likely will not win french open. That's a given. All I'm saying is that her matches are very selective nowadays. As you said, she's 40, not 20. And we can't necessarily compare what she did in 07 and 08 to what she's doing these days since age is a big factor in her endurance. no matter who you are or what kind of athlete you are, age affects how you play and as a result how often you should play to allow your body to recover. If she had skipped this tournament entirely and went straight from AO semis to Roland garros, that would be a different story. But at least she entered this tournament. Personally, i think she should strive for 1 or 2 tournaments before each grandslam. Anything more and she could risk injury or burn herself out at her age.
@@fans-ed1td I say give it a go.. Burn out win those two slams n say good bye
@@vechris2001 thank you for saying what’s exactly on my mind.
What’s the point of millions of people willing you on to win at least 2 more when you’re not willing to make the required SACRIFICES to get there?
She just has to do away with the family circus and sacrifice some months at tournaments and boot camp.
Wooow too bad for Serena... Very good from Nadia though!! Rio Grande do Sul state from Brazil is happy for you! Te quiero Argentina 🇦🇷🤩
I will give a credit to Serena for her game. Congrats to Podoroska for the win
Hahahahaha ok I'm glad you are willing to give a 23times grand slam champion 'a credit' 🤦♂️
@@aaronwilkins1843 He he he, there's nothing wrong with his comment,so calm down!
@@oops9437 hahaha yeah a nobody giving the GOAT 'a credit' is hilarious tbh 😘
As I've said.. Serena and Venus should play till they are 50! this is to give the upcoming players the inspiration and sensation on how they have beaten these champions! this win will forever be in their resume and nice stories that they will share with their kids and grandkids!
"It's special win," Podoroska said. "As I said, she's a great athlete. She did too many things for our sport. It's history. So for me, it's very special.
Vamos nadiaaa💪💪🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Congrats Nadia 🥳. Well done Serena on a good fight until the end. She needs more matches and may be good to improve her moving ability and fitness. On clay balls come back more often, must be able to run all over to defend in 3 sets if needed. Serena serves need to get the sting back. They seem too returnable. Good luck Serena, the race is still alive for GS 24! 💫
Argentina Argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷
Serena Williams is not a tournament. And miss Nadia is 24 years old. she played a very good game today 👏🏽
Orgullo nacional Nadia🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Nadia😮👏👏👏
Alot of promise after this match from Serena 😍 go go go!
both players played amazing, I think that upsets like this come at everyone's careers no matter who it is but I think nadia is more at home on clay, although both players played amazing I think nadia having that little over Williams, and her just playing phenomenally made her win, congrats
Nada muchas felicidades💕👏 si trabajando fuerte ERE muy buena💙 espero que llegue al final con Dios bendiciones de salud y de muchos éxitos😘❤💕👏🇩🇴
What a shame that Serena lost, but I think she's getting there! Let's not forget that the last match she played was at the Australian open.
Also, congrats Podoroska! 😊
Keep your delusion alive :) Serena won't reach the 3 round in RG.
Not many players can say they beat serena williams ... it wasnt 100% but what victory for podoroska , she looks so humbled at the net . A moment she will cherish for ever. Serena started her carrer the year nadia was born
Serena needs matches if she asks for a wildcard she will get one. Roland Garros is a few weeks away. I think she should play Strasbourg. You can't miss two months and expect to win easy.
I just don’t get why she keeps doing this to herself though.
If she’s only playing for it’s sake, that would cool but for someone who really wants to win a few more slams, what’s the point of not putting in the effort by skipping 3-4 tournaments after AO21?
Does Serena really want to beat Court’s record?
I doubt it otherwise she wouldn’t be slacking like that.
The sluggishness is as a result of not playing enough warmup tournaments before grand slams when that’s what’s going to get her into a proper shape to win against those that really matter.
After 3/4 matches in a grand slam, she looks very exhausted and the errors become worse.
Is Patrick not willing to ask her to put up or stop playing at all?
If only she’s prepared to make the sacrifices just for the rest of the year by skipping the “happy families” drama around her, then going into boot camp would serve her well.
Serena in top shape would beat these gals.
Halfhearted measures won’t work.
@@pookie4288 Serena doesn't have Sjogren's, Venus does.
First match on clay for Serena. She didn’t play badly at all, her opponent was just a little better. Very close match. Not to mention clay is not Serena’s best surface.
Keep up the good work Serena! Congrats to Nadia!
Yes, that was awesome! Good luck, Nadia!
Thanks for the highlights! What a match!!
Impressive Nadia 👍🏿👍🏿
Genia Nadia Pride of Argentina
In front of one the greats of womens Tennis is history as Serena Williams
I agree with most comments here, Serena at this stage in her career can’t expect to show up after a 3-5 month lay off and expect to win. Missing Miami definitely hurt. But she’s had opportunities to enter tournaments even after her withdrawal from Miami. She could win Wimbledon, she could be competitive at the French, but unfortunately she makes the conscious choice to only care about the majors. She did not play bad here. Yes, her serve was off but I thought she moved decently. Serena is her own worst enemy... she knows she needs to play more events but I honestly think she just doesn’t want to.
Podoroska sos crack !!! 🤩👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💖🇦🇷💖
Vamos Nadia!!!✌🏿🇦🇷💚 De Rosario para el mundo!!
Podoroska has won 18 of her last 20 matches on clay !
Swiatek was the last one to beat Her at R.G. and Williams was out of action almost 3 Months , that was not an Upset .
que orgullo ganarle a serena!!! felicitaciones de corazon podoroska !!!!!
Almost 40 but still at par with young players . . .
?? what ?? shocked anyways congrats Nadia
(Serena still love you )
Serena movement is meh. She did good moving at Aussie Open and had 3-4 months to take it to the next level. It’s kind of obvious she didn’t do intense conditioning cause 3-4 months she could’ve been back to 2012-2017 fitness. Not liking what Patrick has done with her forehand technique since 2018 either.
Maybe it’s just lack of match play. You can’t win Slams being a part time player the rest of the year.
If serena had more court hours prior to this game she could have won it, but good job to podorovska she is playing well too... If she pllays like this consistently she will be in the top 10 in no time
If she wanted more court your she would have find her ass on a court and practic
She all over the place with her husband and daughter except on a court practising she is not committed to tennis anymore just wasting time
@@abigaileroberts4983 painful but true. I just don’t get why she’s doing that to herself when the aim is to win a few more slams.
How is it going to be possible if she’s not prepared to sacrifice for a few more months playing more warmup tournaments and being at boot camp for real intensive training just to get back into top shape?
The concert has to stop.
Why is making that sacrifice to win a few more that difficult for Serena?
Until Serena finds a coach/mentor that can challenge her and bring the best out of her, she'll simply remain a participant with no chance of success. Her dad was the driving force and laid a solid foundation, but that's more than 20 years ago. Serena is not hungry enough and foolishly takes the advice of those who tell her 'she is doing well' when the results shows otherwise!!!
Bravoooo, Nadia!
Yup.
Serena was irritated as fuk at the net lol
Nadia has a great game on clay,
She has the best record on the WTA TOUR on CLAY for the last 20 Matches ( 18-2 ) 90% .
Good to see Serena back but... GO PODOROSKA!!!!!
You would think Williams won the match based on the highlights.
It's just that u guys expect much from her, but she played pretty well I must say..she was down 5 to 3 in the second set and still leveled up...I must really say, even her opponent fought for this Victory
Her opponent doesn’t really have to fight for much when Serena is out here giving spurts of unforced errors. You just need to return the ball to her and she will commit an unforced error if the score line is tight.
The frequent unforced errors are happening cos she’s not prepared to make the sacrifices required to get into top shape by playing more warmup tournaments.
Those days when she used to just train on her own and arrive at tournaments to win them are long gone.
Age-wise she needs to play more tournaments to get into top shape otherwise she just has to accept that she’s not going to win a grand slam again.
@@spillomina Lol,have you actually watched the watch? What you said applies for Sorbes-Sabalenka' match.Here Nadia played very well and went for her shots,she just didn't rely on Serena's errors,stop being a blind fanatic and accept the loss graciously like Serena
Eventhough she lost, I will say that Serena performed better than I expected, seeing as it was her first match on clay and had not played in 10 weeks. She moved pretty well and 35 winners vs 33 UE's is not bad for a first showing
Serena: tennis skills yes; power yes but movement NO; obviously it is her age and body being the issue but these youngsters made her look 1/2 steps behind sometimes

@@priscilagonzalez3645 es de Pernambuco
I think some serious introspection is in order in the Serena camp. She has to now realize that she can no longer take these long layoffs and expect to come out and dominate like in years past. She is pushing 40 and if she expects to contend she will need more matches under her belt. She could get away with that in her early 30's because she was just better than most of the girls and she had that aura of invincibility and the intimidatuon factor working in her favor. Now the girls aren't intimidated and they're younger and eager to win, especially against an aging legend.
Well, she still tries those intimidation tactics. It's not her game anymore though, but rather the beast from hell screams and faces that should scare the opponents shitless. Frankly, I find it disrespectful and disgusting .
Serena Williams - 1,000th career singles matches.
Steffi Graf - 1,015 career singles matches (900 W - 115 L) and she retired at 30 ! C R A Z Y numbers..
Graf was just incredible
Steffi was a legend. Imagine if she had a topspin backhand along with that slice.
Seles being stabbed surely helped
@@maximilianasmr7202 The Seles stabbing benefitted the William sisters career more. Seles was only 21-22 yo when the Sisters turned pro in 94-95. So much for your theory.
@@demigod1013 Well, Seles was absent when Graf won the calendar GS. Facts over feelings. sorry :)
Osaka wins only 8 games against Pegula: silence
Serena wins 11 games against RG2020 SF: SHE NEEDS TO RETIRE
Serena is a living legend of tennis. She can already retire and make more room for new generation. Osaka is bad on clay and sadly she doesn't care about improvement. :/
Congrats Nadia, great tennis against Serena.
What I cannot understand is that in the end Nadia came to the net ready to shake Serena's hand and with great respect, Serena at least could say a few words. What a behavior with a crown on the head and not being able to accept defeat.
Historico!! ganarle a una tremenda jugadora como serena te hace saber de que estas hecho..
Hay que ver si aguanta todo.
El certamen.
I see they're not showing the Osaka Pegula match since their golden girl lost
They will eventually.
Wtf does that mean
Osaka loses is becoming normal, they cannot to show all
This!!!! For reals. Their golden girl almost got bageled and they’re scared to show it. 🥯🤪
+Alberto Padilla
Basically everytime someone else is upset in a tournament especially Osaka they don’t show it. I wonder why?! But when Serena loses, they plaster it everywhere!!!
Serena pushed the French Open semifinalist to a competitive tiebreaker and 7-5 set despite not playing in 3 months and playing only clay court match in the past year. Y’all are so annoying and always hating on Serena.
I think Serena played well. I wanted her to play Madrid but I just learned there is some friction with the owner, so I understand. Maybe she could’ve played Stuttgart if she knew she’d skip Madrid. In my humble opinion her results are clay, at this point in her career, are a bonus. If she does great if not, oh well.
She’s playing one more tournament before RG and you can normally tell when she’s upset after a loss and she didn’t seem upset so I don’t think this loss bothered her but at least she has another chance
@@justicestewart8823 great news. I forgot RG is pushed back a week so she has more time
@@Smartkid2387 More time to put on a few extra pounds?
Nadia now has advantage H2H against Serena
Para mi lo de Serena tiene dos simple explicaciones, 1) La edad, a su edad los movimientos y reflejos bajan y no permitirá llega a golpes del rival de alta velocidad, 2) Antes no era habitual que las mujeres jueguen con potentes golpes, Serena era una excepcion, ahora la gran mayoría de las jugadores tiene empuñadoras, físico, y potencia tan fuertes como lo de Serena en su época. Seguramente Serena marcó el camino que es lo que se necesita para ser número 1. Nadia excelente!
Huu la re vivís. Don obvio 😅
Serena played decent.. was moving well i think she can make a deep run at RG.. congrats to the other girl.. very persistent
Thank you Nadia! Nice to watch.
This is a brutal surface for anyone, especially if you aren't match ready and coming off of a long break, Serena could needs this clay season to get back into the grove of things and to use it to get ready for wimbledon.
May be Serena rooting Venus footsteps....both should be Play doubles immediately to boost their confidence.. others both will retaire very soon..mark my words...🎉🎉🎉😭😭😭😭😭 Venus fan...
Muchas gracias, Nadia! ♥
I hope the gelato was worth the trip to Italy! 😁
Hater!
Please, the cost of this trip was nothing but toilet paper for Serena. What’s Your excuse for Kvitova, Osaka, and Sakkari?
She can afford it. She's a fuckin millionaire. Do better than being salty
@@Brandon512k well sakkari won one match
She has been training hard at the academy. 😶
This highlight package was predominantly focused on Serena and did not give enough attention to Nadia, who actually won the match. Very misleading.
I think it was a good outing she for Serena just missed by a little on the big points, yet it seems with 2 weeks until RG she’ll be able to refine this and make the shots on the big points
It’s her time to retire from clay court!
Legend!
Another loss! Serena has the same excuse every season (hasn’t played in a while) when u regularly have 3-5 months off at a time you’ll never have the match sharpness! She needs to play more tournaments to get that sharpness back
Honestly I think it's a bit of a double edged sword. I agree that she needs to play more matches but at the same time if she plays too many matches, that's a lot of wear and tear on her body at 40. She's more prone to injury and can't recover fast if something happens and then just go play another tournament. It's kind of a tough situation where she has to be careful with how and when she plays these days. But she does need more matches.
Who's making excuses? She loss and what?
Yes well said 👍 not sure where she goes from here but I’ve said this since Serena returned on tour in 2018 that she won’t be able to win any grand slams but she’s doing well to get to semi-finals & finals playing the minimal amount of matches that she does, I think there is also a big mental block there now as well when Serena is in a final or semi. She still should be the greatest of all time but I just can’t see her winning any tournaments tbh
That’s just what she’ll say in the press conference after. Hopefully she can play another tournament before the French Open as she clearly needs the practice
@@bbbbbaaaaaa100 yes I hope she plays one more tournament just to get some matches in. She doesn't even need to go for the title necessarily. Just go and play.
Serena should be penalized for yelling and talking in the middle of points. Glad she lost.
What??
SIN DUDA LA EDAD PESA, CONGRATULACIONES A LA SEÑORITA PODOROSKA, SU JUVENTUD PESO, OJALA SEA EL SURGIMIENTO DE TENISTAS DAMAS JUVENILES, QUE LE DEN GRACIA Y DELICADEZA AL TENIS FEMENINO, GRACIAS
Yes thank you, Nadia!
Lol Serena may just surprise everyone and win the French Open it’s just that type of year!! She has nothing to lose
Serena played with fitness and great movement, and occasionally sharp instinct. Unfortunately what she seemed to lack was her belief, which showed itself in her low serve percentage and occasionally odd shot choices. Belief is so huge, I hope she can change that asap. That, and her patterns became predictable for her opponent.
All I can say about Podoroska is she better win the tournament now because she played very well. So sick of these girls playing amazing against Serena and then losing in the following round.
The tennis gods have cursed Serena since she pulled that bs with Naomi at the U.S. Open.
And Naomi cursed herself cos baby girl lost in the first round too
@@ayoayo7730 That’s fine because she’s not a complete lunatic
Some of these girls play Serena Williams as if she is the trophy 🤣 but rather it goes to help Serena at the end
Serena, the person with the least sportsmanship in the world
Completely agree 👍
Serena needs more matches before the French Open. Problem is, there aren't any other clay court tournaments scheduled. It's not looking good for #24.
Nadiia good and new champion 😍
Wow, Naomi and Serena out. Players need to be on a regular schedule.
Guess what ??
The Haters will watching this and say many worst things against Serena ..
You know HATERS they will share their comments when Serena lost 😁😎😁😚
As usual ....🙄
Exactly your right, all eyes with her.
Uh, so few highlights are being uploaded last couple of days.
Serena played and moved well. She missed most of her first serves and her timing was a bit off. Still showed flashes of brilliance, especially after being 2-5 down in the 2nd set. This isn't a grand slam and Serena isn't too worried I'm sure. Nadia played well, as most players do against Serena, and she made RG semis last year and had 11 ITF clay titles. Serena lost to a formidable opponent and will be fine for RG.
Your absolutely correct, Bravo!
Don't embarrass yourself, grandma, retire already...!
