imagine, having to play a match in front of the public just minutes after learning your sister's murderer is being released. and all people can say afterward is "damn, you grunted too loud."
Yea, the only reason people complain about Maria's is because she grunts every single shot and match Serena doesn't grunt unless she is really hitting hard
Poor Serena! I just found out that she lost badly because of something that happened right before her match started. All those who were trying to figure out and explain the reasons why Serena lost (having a baby, not being fit, not enough preparation, being distracted, etc.) may need to now realize that this was obviously not like the normal Serena who can fight and win even if she's playing poorly cuz that's what champions are good at. News just came out today that her sister's killer just got freed from prison on parole and she was informed of that only a few minutes before stepping on court to play her match against a very in-form Johanna Konta, suffering the worst defeat of her career. Context is important as to why she lost cuz that's so hard to process that news especially since Serena is a very sensitive and emotional person and tends to suffer from nerves a lot during her matches. She's very hard on herself and is her worst critic since she's said herself that she's a perfectionist. I hope the best for her and her family. I can't imagine having someone so close to me, like my sister, be murdered. How horribly painful.
She lost , period. Got a bagel actually. Btw, Serena does not have a single all time lead record in singles tennis. There are two dozen women who have some type of an all time record but Serena has none.
binkyxz3 Stanford area what do you expect. they're all scared to be labelled racist and are shocked Konta didn't check her white privilege before the match, in fact they expected her to at least ease up since she was playing a woman who just gave birth! (the irony!)
So much disrespect in this thread. Serena recently came back to tennis after having a baby and, in case you've forgotten, she'll turn 37 years old in a couple months. No one is young forever. Serena is a 23 time grand slam champion and the GOAT of women's tennis. She's earned more respect than this. Stop it people. Just stop it.
You're correct; She's a 23 time grand slam champion. I've corrected my comment. Regardless, she's not getting the respect she both deserves and has earned from many in the comments of this video.
It's really sad and disappointing to read such hurtful comments towards this amazing champion. She won't read this but you all will. If you are really a fan and supporter of her you would clearly realize that she has a heck of a lot going on at the moment. Here's a list. The killer of her sister was freed from prison. After coming back from pregnancy so soon and almost have the all time record tied with 24 and have it taken away by Kerber. She's trying to get back to being fully fit. She is still giving her all to Alexis-Olympia 100% Her father is going through a lot to name a few. Konta was on her A game and clearly not dealing with pressure. She is very lucky she didn't play an Australian Open 2017 Serena. So I'm very sure the next time they play it's definitely going to be fun. I can't wait until she is back playing her game with a clear mind. I'm praying for you Serena and I can't wait until you shut these haters up again! 🙌🏾🎾😘🏆😍🙏🏾❤️
Yall are still all In these comments being rude and disrespectful. Serena is a 23 grand slam champion! Shes won and beaten countless odds. Yall will put respect on her name. While Serena will go down in history as THE GREATEST tennis player to ever tough a racket... Your faves will be withered away and forgotten about.
I see a lot of people calling Serena’s Wimbledon run a lucky stint but it’s not called being lucky if you reach a final of a grand slam.Luck can help with one match and that too maybe. The fact that she came out of the bottom half on top of the rest 63 players is anything but luck. Anyway today’s a lucky day for many haters who’re feasting on this result. Enjoy it while you can because a champion like Serena wouldn’t rest till she gets back to the top and when she does, hopefully some of you would learn to respect her for being one of the greats of the game.
Why would someone hate Serena ? In 25 years, in one of the weakest eras when qualifiers are winning slams, she could not create one record for herself as all time number one
I am just curious for WTA's highlight. Even though Konta won the match and kept leading and had much more winners than Serena during the whole game. Why does this highlight looks like that Serena had more winners than Konta???
i have to agree. I was at this match last night and these highlights make this match look more entertaining and competitive then it actually was. in person, this was an easy win for konta, with serena making many unforced errors/missed shots. It was very one sided and I say this as someone who was there for serena. this match looked like a practice session for konta for most of it. it only lasted 51 minutes as well.
It's political correctness to minimize making a minority look bad. The media is scared to death of being called a racist. Highlights of the Wimbledon final were the same way. You'd thought Serena won the match by the highlights.
slimman1222 exactly my thoughts. I wanted to see how Konta won not how Serena slipped in a few winners. THE SCORE LINE IS 6160 and yet they show 50-50 winners from each side?
Just like they call her the greatest ever when she doesn’t even hold one single record to her name as all time stand alone. Another khan has rightly mentioned this and I checked. It’s all American media hype and her playing the black card
Serena seems overly emotional on the court, every point she looks like she's at the point of crying. She's overbalancing, seems top heavy and really lumbering.
Broadsword hehehe...overly emotional is an understatement. I keep expecting her to pop a blood vessel when she doubles herself over at the waist, screaming bloody murder and pumping her fists. That's gotta take a lot out of a player, sheesh...can you make a little more noise, Serena? We can't quite hear you. smh
Jeffrey Kaufmann Well If she plays like that anyone can really if they have a power game but also a brain. Konta just exposed the movement from Serena.
I really agree with you. But she will be back when she is ready. Serena you have beaten her before. What happened? Well, you will be back! You need more training.
I have always wondered why Serena seemed off in this match. Apparently 10 minutes before it started, she learned that the man who killed her sister was released from prison To see comments bashing Serena really astounds me...
This just proves that serena just got lucky with her final appearance in wimbledon. Her first round matches should be against top 10 caliber like konta
Lucky? You need help. She knocked out all the unseeds who knocked out all the other top 10 seeds. She earned her fucking place, stop trying to nitpick every opportunity to bring her down 😂
John Dias wrong. She still knocked out unseeds who beat the other top 10 players. Stop looking at numbers and start realising that she beat the better players of Wimbledon 2018 to reach the final...
yes obviously its one of them , i think she still got the maternity belly fats that makes her movement slower and looks like she cant do anything more at this game ...like she ran out of gas , good job Konta
Serena has ABSOLUTELY nothing to prove to anyone at this point. Unfortunately when legends stay around a little too long, the twilight years can make u forget how good they were in their prime
Serena is having problem making movements, she has to go the basic again and also get a trainer to get here in shape,old routine won't go the trick for now+a sabbatical will be good her,I don't think people like her lose regularly will handle lose well. Just like that southpaw movie, things have changed for her,she has to change things.All the best to Serena
Queenie sweetie, hate to break it to you but you made no relevant comment about this match. Gee, make an opponent run and don't give them easy points. Brilliant analysis, no one ever thought of it before. Also - "duh your face"? lol
as a serena fan a match like this doesnt bother me at all. she obviously wasnt ready to play this event but she'll kick it in to high gear for canada now. she'll be okay
Poor Serena, i thaught she was about to cry. :( She did well at Wimbledon. Her shape/coordination needs more time to come back than her shots. Hope she fully recovering.
This is exactly what Serena was talking about at Wimbeldon!!!! LOL It's so funny!!!! Konta has done NOTHING this whole year on the tennis court and now all of a sudden she gets up against Serena and she can play tennis once again!!!! LOL It's all good we'll see what happens at the US OPEN
All of the people either doubting or making racist/sexist comments about Serena, enjoy it because she's a perfectionist and all of these losses will just fuel her determination to do better.
Wow, I came here to watch these highlights today because: Apparently Serena found via Instagram before going out on court: that the man who'd murdered her sister Tunde had been released on bail got "good behaviour". Kinda makes this match performance "explainable"?
Its one match people...relax! Everyone has an off day. Serena couldnt find her serve. Serena will find a way! She beat Konta at Wimbledon and she wanted payback. Now Serena will be ready for her on the next match! #TeamWilliams
wow, never saw serena lose like that . the closest to this one was the year ending championship in 2014 agaist halep wich she lost 6-2, 6-0. but i think she just nedds to improve her serve like the old days and get fitter and faster.
A little background on this match.. On March 8, 2018, Maxfield, after getting his sentence reduced for "good behavior", was released on parole from the Deuel Vocational Institution in Tracy, California, having served approximately 12 years in prison. In an interview with TIME, Serena Williams said she learned of his release on July 31, through Instagram, ten minutes before her match against Johanna Konta at the 2018 Silicon Valley Classic, a match she went on to lose 6-1, 6-0 to Konta in 52 minutes.
I admire she didn't retire even though she clearly wasn't able to perform well. There are so many top players who would've forfeit even towards the mid or end of second set but she olayed through something which her sister does too. Infact I think Venus very rarely retired after stepping on court. That's real graciousness.
Jo konta best on hard court, because of her game and firm footing.did her home work on how to play serena.in this game.her confident will be sky high.if she continues could be seed for us open.
"She deserved more to win Wimbledon",no she doesn't,she had literally the easiest draw to the final,but when she met Giorgi(a more better player) she had to win in 3 sets,other real and good tennis players would have bet Camila in 2 sets.Serena def. is a lost case,she is older,she had a born,she will never be the player that she was again...
100% agree. She has been a great player but the super easy draw helped her in wimbledon this year, until she met Angie who does not get intimidated by Serena. (Even when Serena tried to hit her with a ball)
She wasn’t supposed to have an easy draw! She was supposed to play the likes of Svitolina in R3, Keys in. R4, and woz in QF, but NONE of those players made it far at all. She played the players who were in the best form at the time, taking out top players. If Serena is not good, then she shouldn’t be winning matches against all of these little girls, so zip it!
Nathan Lifska lol so if that’s the case then why did Kerber lose? Don’t tell me that the WTA is rigged now, especially with all of the lopsided rankings over that past year.
Parker Taylor it’s very hard. Especially when you have the body type Williams has. She may never be able to regain the fitness level needed to win consistently on the tour.
I know it is rare to see Serena lose 6-1, 6-0. But it is only one match. She looked terrific at Wimbledon. Though she can't dominate forever. Time effects us all.
To all the haters- Serena had just had the news that her sisters murderer had been released from jail. So don’t be so quick to judge and claim she’s “unfit”.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's what yall said when she got her ass kicked by 17 year old Sharapova in Wimbledon. "Her sister died last year, she was sad that day, that's why she lost" Stay classy Serena fans.
a bit of humble pie for the arrogant American. This could be the start of her downfall, with a massive loss of confidence like Djokovic a few years ago. ...Early days though I suppose on the comeback after a baby- but what a contrast from being a grandslam finalist to 1st round loss. Or Maybe the womans game has risen to closer to Serena's level, so everyone has a chance now to beat the top players.
When any 1 can beat 23 gran slam I’ll stop calling serena the Queen... all though she lost, Serena is still the tennis queen! I’m proud of you Serena.. you inspire me no matter what! 😃 bottom line is you’ll always be the champion until some one can pass the 23 grand slam!
There are a few things that are holding her back: (1) her tummy is still too big and she still has the baby weight (2) Her movement is still very sluggish (3) her hunger does not appear to have really kicked in yet. Usually she gets down on herself after she loses and this time, she didn't. My question is: does she still really want to play and win? She has the ability to win more majors. I do like the fact that she is competing a full schedule before the US Open and I think that this is a really good idea
Bud Morries agree agree agree....But she has spoken about how she is ready for another child and won't play or come back after. She either has a plan or is just figuring it out. She is enjoying her new life for sure. I think her schedule will provide excellent prep for NYC.
agree. After her Wimbledon win she quenched some of that I wanna prove myself mentality. with family in her life the long term tennis grind will be a hard commitment.
Tress Braga First of all, Serena never gave the number of blood tests she has had per month. Your number is wrong. Don't make up lies to beef up your losing hero.
She was probably off PEDs because of the baby. So she's not as strong or fit. She and sis Venus have long history of PED use and secret waiver from the governing bodies; reference Wiki Leaks.
Credit where it's due, Konta was just a better player on the day. I knew this would be a tough one going in as Johanna is incredibly confident and gifted as a tennis player. Serena has more then proven her worth coming back and making the 4th round of RG (before having to withdraw) and then the Finals of Wimbledon. I think we can let this slide and see what happens next week in Canada.
Wow, Jo Konta simply was on fire and didn’t make mistakes along with total aggression. Very Serena-like. I’d like to see her maintain that level. Serena is the greatest partially because that serve has been the advantage to get her out of trouble but when she makes unforced errors she can be defeated or when someone plays without fear like Jo did today combined with Serena being off her game. Still, magnificent focus by Jo Konta.
What happened with bully, did she forget to take her magic potion, cheater. Not a fan of Konta, but cheer anyone that plays against bully, good job Konta.
Serena looks out of shape but Konta played fabulously. I have never seen her so sharp! Hope she can keep this up. Her personality is good for the game!
This is the only way that any player beats Serena Williams, Konta from the first moment was very aggressive until the end, that is, remained on the same line.Serena is gradually taking shape her body and mind in the field of play, but for her it will be hard to return to that form she had in the past and keep it, it will be difficult but not impossible!
I am a huge Serena fan but given her age now, it's not easy to make a comeback tho being in Wimbledon final was a huge achievement. At this stage, even Sharapova can beat her.
one match away from a rematch at the us open 2019 .. should be a good one .. konta has to get passed svitolina first .. serena will probably have an easier time with wang
Am I bothered by the comments.. Nope because you wouldn't dare say it face to face and yes she was beaten it happens to the best of us, serena has nothing to prove to nobody and just saying behind success is a pack of haters
imagine, having to play a match in front of the public just minutes after learning your sister's murderer is being released. and all people can say afterward is "damn, you grunted too loud."
Excuses, as always in Williams fanbase.
Serena will bounce back strongly to crown US Open 2018!
And people complain about Maria’s grunting? Lol , Serena’s is on another level 😅
marias breaks glass and eardrums. thats why.
Yea, the only reason people complain about Maria's is because she grunts every single shot and match Serena doesn't grunt unless she is really hitting hard
Maria has a beautiful, feminine voice. Serena sounds awful.
@@Lttaylortt Right, she's hitting those defensive slices really hard...
Because Maria sounds like she’s singing. 🙄
Konta kicks ass! Happy she won!
her nasty and amorphous ass.
Will see about US Open
US Open update: Where's Konta? Oh yeah
Konta lost her ass
@McRee Marie not girls. they've always accepted their ugliness with grace and class. i admire that. woof sanchez-vicario. woof.
Well done Jo you played amazing!
Poor Serena! I just found out that she lost badly because of something that happened right before her match started.

Lol. Serena has many records. Say what you want but that doesn't change the truth.
@@apaarmaheshwari8673name one where she is all time singles stand alone
And what did she hear when she got a bagel from raducanu, and when she lost to world number 126 in round 1 Wimbledon😂 deluded Americans
A great win for Konta
Practically no applause for Konta at the end. Who are the real haters ?
binkyxz3 Stanford area what do you expect. they're all scared to be labelled racist and are shocked Konta didn't check her white privilege before the match, in fact they expected her to at least ease up since she was playing a woman who just gave birth! (the irony!)
don't nobody care about stick legs. did she win the tourney. nope never does.
@@nunyadamnbidness2531 Them stick legs ran circle around what's-her-name, made her dizzy. 😬
So much disrespect in this thread. Serena recently came back to tennis after having a baby and, in case you've forgotten, she'll turn 37 years old in a couple months. No one is young forever. Serena is a 23 time grand slam champion and the GOAT of women's tennis. She's earned more respect than this. Stop it people. Just stop it.
John Dunlap 23 time*
You're correct; She's a 23 time grand slam champion. I've corrected my comment. Regardless, she's not getting the respect she both deserves and has earned from many in the comments of this video.
Every time Serena loses, we always hear ,"She just had a baby. She's 37" SPARE ME.
Tyrone Browning Totally agree! Getting tired of hearing the same lame excuses.
We aren’t forcing her to play! She’ll get treated like every other sportperson, she chooses to be in the business so she can expect some criticism.
Will always support you Serena!
ewwwwww
ōsutorariajin NO
Me too
It's really sad and disappointing to read such hurtful comments towards this amazing champion. She won't read this but you all will. If you are really a fan and supporter of her you would clearly realize that she has a heck of a lot going on at the moment. Here's a list.
The killer of her sister was freed from prison.
After coming back from pregnancy so soon and almost have the all time record tied with 24 and have it taken away by Kerber.
She's trying to get back to being fully fit.
She is still giving her all to Alexis-Olympia 100%
Her father is going through a lot to name a few.
Konta was on her A game and clearly not dealing with pressure. She is very lucky she didn't play an Australian Open 2017 Serena. So I'm very sure the next time they play it's definitely going to be fun. I can't wait until she is back playing her game with a clear mind. I'm praying for you Serena and I can't wait until you shut these haters up again! 🙌🏾🎾😘🏆😍🙏🏾❤️
Chucky Jo met the AO 2017 Serena in the QFs, lol.
“The killer of her sister was freed from prison”.
Her sister happens to kill someone as well and didn’t even go to jail.
The flippin' tennis ball don't care what your problems are. FOCUS
“Taken away from Kerber”?! Kerber rightfully won the match. She didn’t cheat her way into winning
Yall are still all In these comments being rude and disrespectful. Serena is a 23 grand slam champion! Shes won and beaten countless odds. Yall will put respect on her name. While Serena will go down in history as THE GREATEST tennis player to ever tough a racket... Your faves will be withered away and forgotten about.
Very entertaining! Do not retire, It will be fun in the coming years.
If she never wins another match and only entertains us, she'll still be the GOAT.
Who says Maria and Vika are noisy

She's overbalancing, seems top heavy and really lumbering.
Broadsword Breast implants can be cumbersome.

That's gotta take a lot out of a player, sheesh...can you make a little more noise, Serena? We can't quite hear you. smh
Broadsword and now we know why
Broadsword she found out minutes b4 this match the guy that murdered their older sister was released from prison on good behavior
And now we know why.
Wow. Serena out of place in this match! Great win Konta.
livamilAVA I think even Sharapova can beat Serena now
Jeffrey Kaufmann Well If she plays like that anyone can really if they have a power game but also a brain. Konta just exposed the movement from Serena.
andrey you need to stay off the internet for a while😂😂😂
I do not think he was out of place but Konta was too much for Serena, he swept and took the whole court.
I really agree with you. But she will be back when she is ready. Serena you have beaten her before. What happened? Well, you will be back! You need more training.
I really like Konta win or lose congrats for beating Serena.
Always supporting Serena no matter what
I have always wondered why Serena seemed off in this match. Apparently 10 minutes before it started, she learned that the man who killed her sister was released from prison
To see comments bashing Serena really astounds me...
What a performance by Konta!
Violent beat down
This just proves that serena just got lucky with her final appearance in wimbledon. Her first round matches should be against top 10 caliber like konta
You cant be lucky to play wimbledon final...idiot
Sanja Vucic ZAA the biggest fan! Versing all players from outside top 50 until semi finals, didn’t see azarenka get that treatment?
Lucky? You need help. She knocked out all the unseeds who knocked out all the other top 10 seeds. She earned her fucking place, stop trying to nitpick every opportunity to bring her down 😂
John Dias wrong. She still knocked out unseeds who beat the other top 10 players. Stop looking at numbers and start realising that she beat the better players of Wimbledon 2018 to reach the final...
Great match Jo 💪💪💪💪
Nice Konta.
My girl Jo doing Britain proud ♥️🇬🇧
Worst loss of Williams career? 😳😳
Dubble D Yep.
yes obviously its one of them , i think she still got the maternity belly fats that makes her movement slower and looks like she cant do anything more at this game ...like she ran out of gas , good job Konta
Queen Precious agreed. Her fitness level clearly is not improving. In fact, it may be regressing.
bd3n21 hallo 🙋♂️
Serena has ABSOLUTELY nothing to prove to anyone at this point. Unfortunately when legends stay around a little too long, the twilight years can make u forget how good they were in their prime
RETIRE SIR ENA.. Congrats JO!!!
Serena is having problem making movements, she has to go the basic again and also get a trainer to get here in shape,old routine won't go the trick for now+a sabbatical will be good her,I don't think people like her lose regularly will handle lose well. Just like that southpaw movie, things have changed for her,she has to change things.All the best to Serena
mega mind She already had a sabbatical. More time away isn't what she needs imo
If a player can get Serena running from side to side than she will have a better chance beating Serena
I don't think that serena wants to play anymore, but good win for Joanna
what? her drugs just not working well, stop make pity reason
I hope she will get back stronger and stronger. Greetings from Czech Republic, Queen.
Tt Gerza ...amennnn
good job Konta for showing on how to defeat Serena ... make her run ,,,, and never give her easy points !
Um duh. The way to beat anybody, really.
Zweig Ackroyd duh your face, i was commenting specifically on this match obviously
Queenie sweetie, hate to break it to you but you made no relevant comment about this match. Gee, make an opponent run and don't give them easy points. Brilliant analysis, no one ever thought of it before. Also - "duh your face"? lol
You've made tennis a better sport Serena, you're a people's hero for many of us!
Don X who's your hero then? I'm guessing it's not anyone black judging by the racist comments you've posted
Say NO to doping! Keep tennis clean.
Who was the seeded player here? Hahaha
Wow 6-1, 6-0 in under an hour how embarrassing she should have stayed home
Serena was crying because her sister's murder was released from prison! She's very sad!
Your Idol was bagelled too, don't you remember?
Natalia Tubis it was 10 minutes before the match dumbo. serene wouldn't have known
as a serena fan a match like this doesnt bother me at all. she obviously wasnt ready to play this event but she'll kick it in to high gear for canada now. she'll be okay
greg blyde Nope, no Rogers Cup for her. Maybe she will play Cinci, or maybe she will skip Cinci and just play the US Open.
balanced comment from someone confident in their player. kudos to you.
i hope she plays Cinci, she needs something more than this
Like I said a month ago..keep your return of serve as good as you can and make her run as much as possible
Poor Serena, i thaught she was about to cry. :(
She did well at Wimbledon. Her shape/coordination needs more time to come back than her shots. Hope she fully recovering.
This is exactly what Serena was talking about at Wimbeldon!!!! LOL It's so funny!!!! Konta has done NOTHING this whole year on the tennis court and now all of a sudden she gets up against Serena and she can play tennis once again!!!! LOL It's all good we'll see what happens at the US OPEN
Joaquin Turley she def called that out....she said 18 months in fact #shotsfired
Losses like this only spur Serena on to be even better when it counts (the Slams). Best performance of the year from Konta though.
All of the people either doubting or making racist/sexist comments about Serena, enjoy it because she's a perfectionist and all of these losses will just fuel her determination to do better.
Wow, I came here to watch these highlights today because:
Apparently Serena found via Instagram before going out on court: that the man who'd murdered her sister Tunde had been released on bail got "good behaviour".

Konta giving serena her worst loss of all time
Its one match people...relax! Everyone has an off day. Serena couldnt find her serve. Serena will find a way! She beat Konta at Wimbledon and she wanted payback. Now Serena will be ready for her on the next match! #TeamWilliams
Simply was not her day, few weeks ago she was in a grand slam final. Wishing her all the best
wow, never saw serena lose like that . the closest to this one was the year ending championship in 2014 agaist halep wich she lost 6-2, 6-0. but i think she just nedds to improve her serve like the old days and get fitter and faster.
What a humiliation!! xDDD
Don X I know a real women beat an average man
absolutely!

A little background on this match.. On March 8, 2018, Maxfield, after getting his sentence reduced for "good behavior", was released on parole from the Deuel Vocational Institution in Tracy, California, having served approximately 12 years in prison.

Whoa! Bad day at the office for sista girl. I know she'll be back with a vengeance!
I'm really happy for Konta, but I don't see why people hate Serena so much.
I admire she didn't retire even though she clearly wasn't able to perform well. There are so many top players who would've forfeit even towards the mid or end of second set but she olayed through something which her sister does too. Infact I think Venus very rarely retired after stepping on court. That's real graciousness.
Historic match for both players! 6-1/ 6-0 in less than 55minutes for Konta who deserved it so much against Serena, the actress!
Jo konta best on hard court, because of her game and firm footing.did her home work on how to play serena.in this game.her confident will be sky high.if she continues could be seed for us open.
"She deserved more to win Wimbledon",no she doesn't,she had literally the easiest draw to the final,but when she met Giorgi(a more better player) she had to win in 3 sets,other real and good tennis players would have bet Camila in 2 sets.Serena def. is a lost case,she is older,she had a born,she will never be the player that she was again...
100% agree. She has been a great player but the super easy draw helped her in wimbledon this year, until she met Angie who does not get intimidated by Serena. (Even when Serena tried to hit her with a ball)
She wasn’t supposed to have an easy draw! She was supposed to play the likes of Svitolina in R3, Keys in. R4, and woz in QF, but NONE of those players made it far at all. She played the players who were in the best form at the time, taking out top players. If Serena is not good, then she shouldn’t be winning matches against all of these little girls, so zip it!
Brandon512k Lmfao
>Svitolina and Wozniacki on grass
>Pick one
Also just think before you comment
Brandon512k Yeah WTA probably paid out the top 20 to lose and get Serena to win, eluding surprise me.
Nathan Lifska lol so if that’s the case then why did Kerber lose? Don’t tell me that the WTA is rigged now, especially with all of the lopsided rankings over that past year.
I just love this ... see her crush and burn like that ... thank god her greediness didn't let her retire when she should have ...
Serena is not fit. She just needs to get fit. She can't move. She is struggling. Get her fit and she will be the queen of tennis again.
Neil Modino never ever
LMAO do you know how hard it is to lose the baby weight after pregnancy?
not fit? She´s fat.
Fit? Doping you mean!?
Parker Taylor it’s very hard. Especially when you have the body type Williams has. She may never be able to regain the fitness level needed to win consistently on the tour.
SERENA WILL BOUNCE BACK HATERS LET SEE SOME IF THE OTHER PLAYERS WIN 23 GRAND TITLES .HOW BOUT THAT!!!
Bonnie Jones placing bets she will keep losing!
Great, Konta krush Serena 6 / 1 6 / 0 Classic. next Miami 2019 Ok. 🇬🇧
Yesss 💪🏼
She will complain because they tested her for doping this week?
G M bye girl.
are you blind people? this wasn't serena, it was taylor townsend playing
Shady
I know it is rare to see Serena lose 6-1, 6-0. But it is only one match. She looked terrific at Wimbledon. Though she can't dominate forever. Time effects us all.
To all the haters- Serena had just had the news that her sisters murderer had been released from jail. So don’t be so quick to judge and claim she’s “unfit”.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's what yall said when she got her ass kicked by 17 year old Sharapova in Wimbledon. "Her sister died last year, she was sad that day, that's why she lost"
Stay classy Serena fans.
a bit of humble pie for the arrogant American. This could be the start of her downfall, with a massive loss of confidence like Djokovic a few years ago. ...Early days though I suppose on the comeback after a baby- but what a contrast from being a grandslam finalist to 1st round loss. Or Maybe the womans game has risen to closer to Serena's level, so everyone has a chance now to beat the top players.
da Wawydenko Konta is not your typical 1st round opponent though!
these kind of results will keep coming...
When any 1 can beat 23 gran slam I’ll stop calling serena the Queen... all though she lost, Serena is still the tennis queen! I’m proud of you Serena.. you inspire me no matter what! 😃 bottom line is you’ll always be the champion until some one can pass the 23 grand slam!
There are a few things that are holding her back: (1) her tummy is still too big and she still has the baby weight (2) Her movement is still very sluggish (3) her hunger does not appear to have really kicked in yet. Usually she gets down on herself after she loses and this time, she didn't. My question is: does she still really want to play and win? She has the ability to win more majors. I do like the fact that she is competing a full schedule before the US Open and I think that this is a really good idea
Bud Morries agree agree agree....But she has spoken about how she is ready for another child and won't play or come back after. She either has a plan or is just figuring it out. She is enjoying her new life for sure. I think her schedule will provide excellent prep for NYC.
She withdrew from Roger’s Cup, so that leaves Cinci and US Open. Her season ends after that since she has not qualified for WTF.
agree. After her Wimbledon win she quenched some of that I wanna prove myself mentality. with family in her life the long term tennis grind will be a hard commitment.
Come back, Serena! We need you back!
Blew yes God bless
oh no please
ComunidadAérea Oh, yes! Yes!
Serena found out, 10 minutes before her match, that the man who murdered her half-sister was released from prison
The man must be terrified given Serena found out
Wow...You know how much I loved it man😀😀😀??...Finally arrogant buffalo destroyed by Konta ruthlessly...congratulations miss Konta....
I hate to say it but Serena was completely annihilated in this match 😧
I still hope she gets to 25 grand slams though
First Name Last Name σε χρ
Poor Serena ... being subjected to 5 drug tests in one month has really affected her power and speed.
Tress Braga First of all, Serena never gave the number of blood tests she has had per month. Your number is wrong. Don't make up lies to beef up your losing hero.
She was probably off PEDs because of the baby. So she's not as strong or fit. She and sis Venus have long history of PED use and secret waiver from the governing bodies; reference Wiki Leaks.
Credit where it's due, Konta was just a better player on the day. I knew this would be a tough one going in as Johanna is incredibly confident and gifted as a tennis player. Serena has more then proven her worth coming back and making the 4th round of RG (before having to withdraw) and then the Finals of Wimbledon. I think we can let this slide and see what happens next week in Canada.
Wow, Jo Konta simply was on fire and didn’t make mistakes along with total aggression. Very Serena-like. I’d like to see her maintain that level. Serena is the greatest partially because that serve has been the advantage to get her out of trouble but when she makes unforced errors she can be defeated or when someone plays without fear like Jo did today combined with Serena being off her game. Still, magnificent focus by Jo Konta.
3:56 Serena trying hard to not cry but still crying
Beautiful backhand down the line at 03.31 is the story of the match
Serena ur going down
Good work, Serena; congratulations, Konta
What happened with bully, did she forget to take her magic potion, cheater.
Not a fan of Konta, but cheer anyone that plays against bully, good job Konta.
why does serena looks like she’s crying when the camera focuses on her?😂😂😂
Possibly because of her sister
She´s very dramatic.
bd3n21 I heard Serena wasn't crying on JoJo's shoulders but instead of in the front of the feet of Konta :/ but well, humiliation happens :(
Her sisters killer was let out of prison and she got the news right before the match
Serena looks out of shape but Konta played fabulously. I have never seen her so sharp! Hope she can keep this up. Her personality is good for the game!
WOW...What a BEAT DOWN, Great Day, Great win Konta....MAGA
This is the only way that any player beats Serena Williams, Konta from the first moment was very aggressive until the end, that is, remained on the same line.Serena is gradually taking shape her body and mind in the field of play, but for her it will be hard to return to that form she had in the past and keep it, it will be difficult but not impossible!
Haters will hate! Serena will be back! just a little rough patch
Mark Elias We're not hating, FYI. Just pointing out the obvious loser!
What a BEAT DOWN, Great day, Great win Konta
I am a huge Serena fan but given her age now, it's not easy to make a comeback tho being in Wimbledon final was a huge achievement. At this stage, even Sharapova can beat her.
Yes!
Wow!!anyways this loss is good for her I would Ave prefer a second round loss tho just to get a few matches in. Ppl like her learn from her mistakes
Haters.. so opportunistic
Bulldog.! lol
in decline
And this comment isn't opportunistic? Stop it. Learn to ignore those who don't matter, you don't know any of them.
She lost, Serena fans do the same thing, don’t expect sunshine and rainbows from people when you give shit back.
Don X it's because of her surgeries you ignorant shit
Yes. A real women beat and average man named SIR ENA
ahahahaha it was funny !!! love konta !!
And still she's ahead of the field in accomplishments. This is nothing unless konta wins the tournament. Which should be the goal. We shall see
WTF, this highlights looks like konta won the match very tightly. They don't even showed one Ace by konta.
one match away from a rematch at the us open 2019 .. should be a good one .. konta has to get passed svitolina first .. serena will probably have an easier time with wang
Am I bothered by the comments.. Nope because you wouldn't dare say it face to face and yes she was beaten it happens to the best of us, serena has nothing to prove to nobody and just saying behind success is a pack of haters
After Peak of doing doping in Wimbledon. It`s very predictable. Her Body just says no
She can win again, no doubt about it. She needs to get in shape. Girl, u hv beaten the best to get all your titles even konta.
