These type of combacks in numerous matches is one of the reasons they love and respect Serena in Australia- GOAT😃👏👍
Strong serve and mentality
@monty niranjan On one match point, against Serena she came to the net,and knocked of a volley, started out rallying Clijsters, plenty of people being down that far in the score would have lost. This is Clearly a Great 👍 Serena comeback. We will have to agree to disagree.
I was the one to hit 🎯💯
Serena is comeback queen and very lucky too.she won this one against klijsters coming back from 1-5 down in 3rd.....Same way sharapova had 3 straight match pts against her in 2005 ao semi still Serena survived.uso final against azarenka in 2013,against Heather Watson in 2015 Wimbledon they all proves how strong Serena mentally is
more how garbage mentally the others are.
It was uso 2012 and not 2013 though.
One of , if not the best come backs ever.
@filip mortier The Serena comeback was greater because it was against Kim who is a much better player than Myskina.
@filip mortier
There was that Jennifer Capriati / Martina Hingis match at AO 2002. Jen was 0-4 in the third and still won the match.
@@regulusarcturus Could have fooled me in this match, what a piss poor performance once she lost on those match points.
That warm embrace in the end shows how much they have respected each other.
If things happened the opposite you would see a sore loser Williams who would cold shake her opponent without even looking at her
Kim is a great and respectful and we'll mannered player, not at all like some others!!!!
@@farhatk6054 sorry, but that is a big lie. Serena has been very gracious in win or lose. You need to be fair. Watch her matches.
when Serena was down 1-5 in the third she said to herself: "I need to break, hold, break, hold, break, hold." and she did. This was one of her finest comeback matches in her career.
I would say it's the finest comeback. I cant imagine the pressure on her back to win that match and put herself in position to win 4 slams in a row.
She also realized she had to throw mixed pace at Kim instead of allowing her to camp at the baseline and backboard her flattest groundstrokes. It worked to perfection
I thought for sure Serena would lose this in the third 5-1 down. This was the first time I realized that, mentally, Serena was cut from a different cloth. She is extremely strong mentally and a fighter through and through.
Serena's footwork is unmatched by any other. She moved so well and covered so much court. That's what got her so many Grand Slam titles. When she's able to move so well, she's able to place the ball very accurately on court. Boy I miss her footwork.
I miss her footwork too. But she gonna get Australian open 2021 trust me😎
what got Serena so many grand slams in the times of super hard hitting includes :
- the most effective unreadable serve
- a tremendous one two post the serve
- arguably the most effective return of serve
- ability to read the opponents service pattern more effectively than most girls, exception being Justine Henin who I thought was better at reading unreadable serves
- actually better mobility than Venus, who everyone says ran down more balls, but never was able to counterpunch from the back with the power than Serena produces on the backfoot
- a tremendous overhead which is definitely one of the best on the wta
- not bad volleying either, although not the best, but very underrated
the fact is Serena does not have any real weaknesses in her game.
the reason she could beat Seles and davenport was her mobility and precision of serve and ability to counterpunch their harder shots. Seles due to lack of mobility couldn't stay with these girls and davenport was great only when she had the ball in the range of hitting her shots, moment you got her mobile she was absolutely comical.
EVEN TODay, with lesser mobility, I am sorry to say that apart from say Osaka who is Clijsters with a bigger serve, I wouldn't see any girl being able to beat Serena regularly.
the only girl who could beat her on a consistent level for a few years was Justine Henin and before you go along dissing that tiny framed girl, it took massive hard work for her to achieve what she did , so hold the diss.
was it not for Henin doing those wow years from 2004 to 7 , Serena would have been well over 25 slams today. so while Serena is the greatest of all time , you have to accept the truth that Henin was TRUMP for the short few years she had serenas number
You're crazy. This footwork is nothing compared to stuff we see now. As you can see here as well Kim is literally either hitting at Serena or barely away from her with lack of pace. Shotmaking that's happening today in the WTA is way better. Now all the WTA needs is consistency and preferably in multiple players.
The up and coming players also don't have such abusable serves anymore. Us Open final this year had both young players hitting consistent 80-90mph 2nd serves.
@@MalphasMikaelson I agree. at this stage Clijsters had just no power in her strokes
this did change when you seee her on her comeback ... hitting the ball more like a monster .. and her serve was better and so was her confidence...
she did get the better of Serena both times they met on her comeback... and Williams at this point was hitting the ball like harder than any woman on a consistent basis.. with a serve that was in the best form ever.
todays girls I can't say have better groundies but have finally managed to learn serving at an acceptable level , which cannot be abused by Serena Williams.. and that has truly helped the tour..
anyone who has a weak serve actually anyone with even a good serve but very predictable , is going to be blasted off the court by Serena. this is why Serena has the upper hand on Venus ...
Venus has a big serve but Serena finds it extremely predictable.. on the other hand Venus is unable to predict serenas serve because of her ball toss wrist strength and placement and precision.
@@MalphasMikaelson also Serena seems to be playing smart and not producing too much power for Clijsters to munch on since she is a super counterpuncher.
here she is making Clijsters make the power to win a shot , which Clijsters was finding rather hard to do.
She is so mentally tough. Even when she is down, she keeps hitting. Her game just raises in those moments. A true Champion
Kendrell Geter mentally tough? LmAo. Serena was given every advantage and allowed to cheat because folks didn’t dare test her. She showed how weak she was vs Kim at the us open and got booted because Kim was dominating her again but this time Serena couldn’t fake an injury. The ref penalized her for foot faults. Serena cried like a bitch then cried racism then got kicked off. Kim domination.
@@JesusChristISTHEONETRUEGOD what is your point? She has been mentally tough throughout her career. Stop it
@@getertk Has she really though? Was she mentally tough or simply better than her opponents? We've seen her constantly choke matches once she got older and better players started appearing.
@@MalphasMikaelson please stop it. Quantify what you are saying? She has been able to make semi finals and finals? You act like she is just out losing to anybody. She got beat by Osaka most notably one of the current best players. Serena is literally verging on 40. Roger has struggled as he has gotten older. Are you saying he isnt mentally tough. You dont win all those grand slams by chance. Serena has come back in several matches. The women have had great champions throughout the years so you trying to use the competition argument is wack. Are you using the same argument against the men big 3??? I bet not
Serena Williams the G.O.AT.!!!!! C'mon! who's watching in 2020?🎾
2021 😃
Me 2021, soo inspiring!!
I remember studying for an exam and watching this match way in the middle of the night.
Wow amazing
You are not a serious student. How did you graduate?
@@trommelbiel what are you trying to say
k odu oh that was high school. Managed to graduate college and law school as well since 2003.
@@rashaddddd while that loser just trolls youtube.
SERENA did her best matches under PUMA. She looks GREAT & she's about to shut the MOUTHS of commentators...Let the COMPTON COMEBACK BEGIN! I feel bad for Kim cause I like her,but SERENA HAS done this to her so many times.
Serena has cheated and disrespected the integrity of the game vs Kim many times! Serena has been proven to fake injuries in order to destroy the momentum of an opponent and cheat the game. Karma slapped Serena upside her nasty face vs Kim in the US open when Serena tried the same but couldn’t handle the pressure or Kim’s game. She got lost her cool and showed her low character...got booted. Kim best Venus too and won it all.
Tim Tyson 37 grand slam wins vs. 6..okayyy
Tim Tyson you are just a hater...Lies lies lies. The sisters better than kim...
@@triciamunroe7979 right
@@JesusChristISTHEONETRUEGOD jealous
Serena looks stunning here
A monster you mean
Little Princess To Kim I’m sure😭
Yeah, looks so handsome..
Love how Serena silenced the prejudiced crowd!
She was always playing against the crowds. Especially in the Early 2000's.
what a dumb comment. Kim was favored with the Aussie crowd because she was engaged to their hometown favorite, Lleyton Hewitt .
Were they really prejudiced? I didn't feel that.
One of her best comebacks. Gonna miss her on the court.
If the commentator thinks that Serena “grunts louder than Monica Seles ever did,” then he needs a hearing aid.
Can’t wait to see Clijsters next year coming back to the Tour! Whether she does well or not, it will be great to see her face and sportsmanship again.
Dave R right!!
The greatest
Wow, she had incredible movement here. Surgeries and age hamper her now. If she had her old movement she would be unstoppable.
4:16 Vintage Serena!
Serenawilliams is the greatest.Great player never bow down for nobody.
It what about Margaret Court? ......................only joking!
Serena Williams the greatest ever 🎾☝️👊💪👍💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
One of the best matches EVER!
Clijsters completely choked in the last 5 games after missing her first two match points. In order for it to be one of the best matches ever, I would say the standard needs to be higher.
It was good match, and it's actually a shame Kim would go away just like that in the last set.
Compare that to the tough-as-nails fight that Hingis had shown against Serena two years earlier.
Hingis and Henin were the two players who could match Serena's mental toughness.
Finally you posted this match! You should post Serena’s 2003 1st round match also!
the background music was so nice....... can't imagine the extreme pressure that these two amazing girls had gone through on that match
Can you please do the 2014 Quarter Final Radwanska vs Azarenka? Such a great match!
Retweet.
Yeah... That was a great match....
I remember watching this match and thinking, "Well, Clijsters was just too good!" Then game by game, point by point, Serena worked her way back to the win. My mind was blown. I always appreciated Clijsters' game and felt she should have done more. Glad she got those slams after her comeback (even beating Serena and Venus at the US Open which I honestly was ok with lol).
SW ia GOAT
So interesting to see Kim at this stage in her career. She was a great player but relied so heavily on her speed and anticipation, she didn’t hit that aggressively unless she was going crosscourt or inside out. The player she was in her 2009-2011 comeback would have won this match without a doubt.
Great match Queen Serena 👑👑👑, you are the best player ever in history.❤️❤️❤️
This one and many other handshakes between these two really show Serena, and her sister Venus, have always respected Kim Clijsters a lot. Very nice to see, because the women are known to be a little bit frigid when it comes to congratulating each other.
this proves to me serena would have come back in 2009 US open SF
Different circumstances, I doubt that she would have. Alas we will never know and there is only person to blame for that - Serena.
No. Clijsters was a completely different player in 2009 than she was here. In her second career, she rarely gave up a lead like she did in the first. The mental jitters were gone.
brisbane 2010 final, she was lucky to win that final, considering it was Henin 1st match back. But I do believe Serena would have won that match, but we will never know @@JamesFrew1
she 100 % could have
@@olaraay no she 'could have' but in my opinion wouldn't have. Bit arrogant to suggest she would have based upon this
Please please Capriati-Weingartner from the first round also in 2003. You can see Weingartner’s celebration in the intro and I can’t find that match anywhere.
Defeat was calling Serena Williams but she just won’t bend. Her mental game stands very high
Queen Serena
Am I the only one that's surprised that Serena is actually older than Kim
I mean I always knew she was older. She was on the scene sooner, known sooner, started winning a lot earlier. And even physically looks older. It always made sense to assume she was older even if you didn't know.
Just by a year gap. I remember 1999 uso match it was another comeback by serena & remember talk of both being so young serena was 17 and kim 16 yrs old.
Only by one year, that is not really much.🌹
@@simonsenecal6560 the “physically looks older” is a reach lol. I wouldn’t have came to that conclusion If Serena looked older than her but ok.
Mental strength unrivalled 😅
What would be remarkable if Serena was to win her 8 Australian in 2023, 20 years after winning her 1st title there
Am I the only one that thinks that the womans tennis has decreased in aggressiveness and speed, like I'm watching a lot of these 2000s classics and can't help but notice how godamm aggressive everyone is 😂, like even when playing on the defense these ladies were trying to be aggressive. The speed of the ball also seems hella fast bruh, just found that pretty interesting
Thanks.
C
Wow Kim should have won this one. Kim had the size and skill to give Serena good matches even though she didn’t beat her often. Too me Kim didn’t have the mental “ killer instinct” like Serena and Henin had. Think Kim was talented and should have won more then she did. How can you not like her.
Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda hahaha!!
Crazy game
Kim is back... can't wait for her and Serena to play again.
GOAT
Досих пор не понимаю, что случилось с ким кляйстерс в третьем сете. 😂😂😂
I still don't know how Serena pulled this off
Thank god for the blue courts haha
This was a great match, but Clijsters just went away after being up 5-1 in the third, which was a shame.
If she had made a fight of it in the last set, this could have been a classic.
Clijsters choked big time she had two match points! Well done by Serena!
it was all Serena.
she made a lot of errors for Clijsters to get to that point. when Serena reduced the errors, the match became even.
Clijsters benefitted hugely from Serena being very tentative across the second and third sets - mostly as a result of Clijsters’ courtwide and smothering defence.
Shinobu Tsurubushi Here you go on another video😂🤦🏽♂️ Adam schooled this time I didn’t have to
Clijster didn't choke. Serena stepped up a few notches and fought back hard. Serena's mental toughness came though for her.
serena had her fair share of chokes in grand slams. during AO 2019 quarterfinal against karolina pliskova up 5-1 40-15 in the 3rd set with 3 math points total, ended up lost in 5-7.
mina vamp Twisted her ankle after a foot fault on match point that should have been a ace. Funny you left that part out
i found my other favorite player Kim... whew hew.... Serena is always awesome to watch. what a MF good match
serena on the run forehand is the money shot
Hebat
Absolutely was
Can we get this FULL match. Not just highlights please.
So sad for Kim 😞
Lol the caption photo
Kim got all the compensation from Li Na
Djokovic vs Wavrinka (2013,2014,2015)?
Fear Wolf Brewery i agree💯💯
Why is there green in 2003 Australian Open?
Amazonian black strengths
U cant teach set 3 u have it or u dont
just post the match
I know right! What's the countdown for?
Wtf why does it say you posted this 5 days ago when it only came out like 3 hours ago
“ Ozzy Kim” yeah, that was before L. Hewitt did her wrong like a dirty dog!
I'm out of the loop. What did Hewitt do to Kim?
Can u do shapovalov vs Tsonga from last year
In the 3rd set ,kim looks so hungry for finishing the match . she took a very few seconds after her 1st serve that's why she made number of double faults.. and Serena looks so calmed..
She holding in,.no pee breaks
Kim did not want it.
Two years after that disgusting Indian Well incident. Just to beat the same opponent. Margaret still has one grand slam more than Williams but Serena is definitely the greatest of all time.
NAVRA IS THE GOAT
Anyone ever call out the Bernie Sanders conspiracy?
kim choked, 5-1 in the third
Imo: Clijster’s A-game is better than Serena’s BUT Serena kept her A-game up way longer which makes her the GOAT.
Pain in the butt to admit as Belgian myself 😉
Kim’s best is not better than Serena’s best. That is simply an outrageous thing to say.
@@regulusarcturus saying “it’s an outrageous thing to say” isnt a great argument, mate. Argumentum ad hominem.
@@miguelteirlinck6942 It’s not an ad hominem argument since that would imply an insult directed at you rather than your opinion.
Furthermore, where is the evidence that Kim’s best is better than Serena’s best? Serena’s best translates to all surfaces, not just hard courts and she held all four Slams twice, compared to Kim who only won 2 in a row once in her entire career. Moreover, their h2h is 7-2 for Serena and Serena had managed to give epic beat downs to just about every great hall of famer whereas Kim has not.
Kim’s best is not better than Serena’s best.
Why isn’t either Australians Margaret Court or Evonne Goolagong in the opening titles but Others are ?typical AO organisers
Marion Bartoli is a better player than Serena Williams and Kim Clijsters.
*Was that thumbnail necessary?*
French Toast Granger what’s wrong with it? All I see is great sportsmanship between the two!
Brandon512k there’s nothing wrong with Serena or the other woman it’s just 😂 the angle that the picture was taken off
Kim was better than what she won, she was the great white hope against the Williams sisters
That's Henin by a landslide
mezstah Very true but even she couldn’t beat them in the biggest stage a grand slam final!
The great white hope? Seriously?
And thats why she is the undisputed WTA GOAT
