    Why is no one talking about the insanely heartwarming embrace and chat at the net?? What a way to finish an equally incredible match. I hope this friendship lasts for many many years :)

    Tennis Twitter was ON FIRE during this match. So many people were watching and so many people enjoying it. These two bring out the best in each other in a way the other girls don't. Vika seemed to find this level toward the end of the year, and that's only a positive. The game needs her at a high level! And Serena is still around at 39. Incredible.

      Joe Ann You mean in 2010 when she hurt it? Tbh, if she hadn't missed that year, I don't think she would have won as many slams as she has. She probably would have won several more and retired after 2012.

    " _But wouldn't it be great for the sport to have Azarenka finding her top gear again with all the young talent at the top end of the game_ "
    How is that "good for the sport"?
    Its good for Azarenka, not the sport.
    What's good for the sport is the best beating the rest.
    If the best happened to be Azarenka, then so be it.
    But that was code for "would it be great for someone to be good enough to beat Serena" .. and in the commentator's opinion _THAT_ would be good for the sport.

    • @mrrogers302
      @mrrogers302 4 роки тому

      It's good for the sport because Azarenka at her highest level is a very high quality player and plays entertaining matches. Good players playing great matches is good for the sport.

    • @asswuppin
      @asswuppin 4 роки тому

      @@mrrogers302 Still it came off as saying that if only the good player could be as great as the great player .. the game would be better off.
      No ..it wouldn't.
      We must appreciate the greatness that has manifested .. and not for the greatness that some hope for to suit their own tastes.
      Acknowledgment is about the here and now .. not the coulda/woulda/shoulda.
      When one goes on about the coulda/woulda/shoulda it comes off as a slight because it implies that the one who actually is great and is playing great and has consistently been great is somehow not enough.
      That simply isn't true.

    • @mrrogers302
      @mrrogers302 4 роки тому

      J Smith Good lord. You're way too upset about this. Azarenka was a top player and one of the stars of the game for a few years. Anyone with sense would realize her playing her best is good for the game. It's really not that hard.

    • @asswuppin
      @asswuppin 4 роки тому

      @@mrrogers302 I got what you're saying.
      But my thing is how do any of you determine that she's not playing her best?
      Why can't it be that Serena is just outclassing her?
      Why does it have to be that Azarenka must not be playing her best because Serena is dominating her?
      Lots of people play their best and still get dominated by Serena.
      That's my issue.
      I think Azarenka is a fantastic player.
      That doesn't mean that every time she loses to Serena she wasn't playing her best game.
      Either you can understand that or you can't.
      It changes nothing either way.

    • @mrrogers302
      @mrrogers302 4 роки тому

      J Smith It's not about this match. They are talking about the bigger picture. Not about Serena. Vika isn't playing the same level she was several years ago. It's pretty obvious what they are trying to say. The fact that you somehow took it as a slight against Serena is ridiculous.
