both playing really well. Petra was hitting a lot of heavy backhands, finishing with some *incredible angles. Venus was controlling a lot of points from the centre of the court and finishing well, especially on her fh drivevolley. This one of finest hardcover matches from either player in this decade - and yet Petra rarely played at this kind of level in New York and Venus had a terrible letdown in her next match against Stephens.
I think this season really BROKE Venus.. She really Played amazing ball the whole year and to come up a bit short in the end, Its heartbreaking. And to even watch this now is hard because she was playing some of the BEST TENNIS SHES EVER PLAYED..
I wouldn't say her best she ever played that abit of a reach. She played better then she has since post syndrome disease. If venus played her best ever trust me she would have won the us open and Wimbledon that year without dropping a set if she was at her all time best
@@dayzour123 to me there aren't too many times she's played better than 2017 US Open based on the Matches with Kvitova and Sloane..of course her Many Wimbledon titles and 2007 us open semi finals , but to me when she loses matches while PLAYING THIS Great it's mental.. because I agree her ultimate best is when the mental is on par with her ground game.. when those two are on 100% at the same time, Nobody can beat her..
Same is happening with Serena nowadays. They both have a heart of a true champion but you can't take away one thing for sure. That's they are no longer as fit and young as they used to be. Which comes with age. Venus particularly. Her syndrome has taken away a lot from her. Although she achieved so much prior to her illness diagnosis but if she was fully fit there is no doubt she would still be winning the majors.
If u don't mix up the pace and spins of your shots, Kvitova can be a NIGHTMARE to deal with. Her pace and penetration is overwhelming when she gets the ball in the same spot everytime. I think that's the reason Venus has struggled against the younger generation as she's gotten older, she can no longer out hit everybody and her patterns are very predictable. This was a gutsy performance from Venus tho
Interesting how Venus serves flat mostly but hits with varying spins and pace. Petra on the other hand serves with a lot of spins but hits mosty flat. 😅
Venus played so well in 2017. She really should have won a Slam...
A couple slams. Just ran out of gas in the finals
I had such high hopes. One of her best seasons ever
I thought Wimbledon and US Open were hers to win.
It would have been a fairytale, as it would have also been her 50th career title. Such a shame she didn't. :(
AO for example😆
Made me cry. Love Venus. She did a curtsey at the end, so gracious, so regal, so respectful. And the smile on her face at the end is priceless.
Exactly.. you said it 😘
Thats call being gracious!!! Even when you win or lose.
Best match of 2017 and of the US open 2017 in my opinion.
I almost cried at the end seeing Venus’s big smile... I hope in 2020 she can give the slams another go
Josh Lum Let’s hope for another Australia run, she’ll be fresh at least
people really sleep on vee! In her prime these girls wouldn't have even been able to keep up
@@whitb8381 Venus and Serena raise the bar! And still can win.
This is one of my favorite matches to watch over and over. The ball striking is just stunning

Ugh. Vintage Venus was amazing 2017. Just wish she would have pulled through at Wimbledon.
Yeah other majors are fine. But when it comes to Wimbledon, I don't like to see her lose.
Venus's kit this year was gorgeous
like a pink giraffe lol sure
I didn’t like it....and I wanted Petra to win lol
Jahmaal Marshall lol obviously. I’m not blind you dumb bitch. fuck off
Jahmaal Marshall keep laughing! Venus too old to win anything nowadays. Now THATS funny
@@kecleonboi And you can't achieve anything close to what she has. Now THAT'S funny.
These 2 always have good matches against each other
Yes. Their latest one in pre-Australian Open 2021 was also exciting as this.
yes! lots of crazy flat shot winners
I know this was in 2017, but I'm seeing this for the first time. Venus, that was an excellenté game! Thank you!🎾🎾🎾
The girls were on fire, it was a ferocious battle, Venus is tennis royalty 🌼
Vee looked so good here. Gorgeous.
Lol what
When Venus smiles, still shows such joy that she showed when she was a 14 years old. What a legend!!

@@dwyaneohmar9418 2005 us open and 2010 and 2008 venus should have won those years her ground game and movement was out of this world
@@dayzour123 facts. She's so good. I LIVE FOR SERENA. I Also live for Venus, and wish she got her just due.

this is the REAL VENUS WILLIAMS
I miss this Venus! :(
Best dress from venus
Love to see her smile! That win meant everything!
VENUS!!!!! Watching ahead of the Kvitova match tn in Australia. Give us one more grand slam Vee!!!
Before Venus decides to retire, I wish to see her and Petra Kvitova in one last Grand Slam singles final - either in USO or Wimbledon.
Great match from Venus!
I always loved venus she's my fav
🥰🥰
Amazing match...way to go Queen Vee!

Venus Williams did that!!!!!!!
I dont understand why Venus always wins against Petra and loses to the rest of the pack who are beaten bt Petra. 2019 she never lost to Petra.
She's doesn't always win....
@@aaronwilkins1843 lol not in that sense since this match she lost to Venus at IW 2019
Cool.
Interesting how Venus serves flat mostly but hits with varying spins and pace. Petra on the other hand serves with a lot of spins but hits mosty flat. 😅
Venus hits mostly flat? You mean on 1st serve only? Because Venus hits a lot of slice serves - 1st and 2nd serve.
@@jboogie6921 Yes, on 1st serve.
why did kvitova scream like she was dying at 4:15
The same reason why Serena screams all the time
she has passion. I love her
she barks all the time..its kinda cute
@@azjmsxhnWho dark serena?
holy shit I wish petra could have won this :( :(
Kvitova could have easily won this match if she was a bit more cautious
