It's so sweet that after all these years Serena's mum is still touring with her
Who wouldn't want to go around the world for free?
Shinobu Tsurubushi Liesssss
Shinobu Tsurubushi Serena lost one match to her and Venus is not as dominant after 08
Shinobu Tsurubushi and how many things have been said about Serena? Let’s start with Sharapova then that racist Australian artist
Shinobu Tsurubushi You can’t ban a player for following rules lol
Solid match from Serena in her 1st singles match of the year. Conditions are never easy in Auckland & she handled it very well.
First win of the decade, come on Serena!
That's quite impressive, considering that 2021 hasn't started yet.
Come on serena. This needs to be your first of many trophies that u hold up this year!
trinidonsquadron Exactly, it’s a warm up tournament but why not get the trophy for some good confidence going into Australia... She can do it
i'll happier than in 2019. It'd be absolutely nice to see her win this
We hope so! It will help her a lot especially Mentally .🤗👍
If she wins AO she will most likely win Wimbledon imo.
But AO's gonna be tough.
Third favourite for me at AO after Osaka and Halep.

Giorgi has one setting -- aggressive. Serena took a while but she started hitting harder and deeper and very accurate. Giorgi's power game was overwhelmed. Interesting that Serena can do this at this time.
No its not serena had to beat giorgi i mean she was the finalist in the 2 previous slams. Its not shocking the fact that she handled giorgi, she had to
Ken Truitt good first round match. Better than Kuzzie . Kuzzie is/was extremely dangerous!
@@ericbason4964 I felt so too. Kuzi was way more dangerous but would have also been a good match.
Giorgi is dangerous for defensive players early on in the season when their defensive game is not ready. But for Serena she wasn't.

Did you even watch the match? Serena won because her serve was on fire. The rallies were about even, and Giorgi's serve was only average, but it was all the free points off of serves that made it easy for Williams.
@@robertorolfo strictly speaking, no I just watched the highlights in this video. But it's clear that Williams was tending short on her returns and rally balls and Giorgi pounced all over those. Also Williams' body language initially was beleaguered and plodding like she was out of shape and unenthusiastic. Around 4/3 Williams starting showing some competitive fire and started landing her balls well beyond the service box with pace and accuracy and that is what overwhelmed Giorgi. And yes Williams' serve was highly effective, even more so in the second set (they didn't show much of her service games from the first set).
bro Camila Giorgi is fast and very aggressive, I am scared of her and I'm not even playing against her!!! props to serena for being able to do so well against her and get her head in the game
Props to Serena, indeed. Steven Ruiz & others, check head-to-head stats on Serena & Camila. End of story.
It's simply amazing to see Serena still playing such high quality tennis after all these years. She's just ageless, and her determination and enthusiasm are admirable. For everything that Camila attempted to throw at Serena, Serena had the answer. "Go, Serena! Tennis goddess!"
Serena is tough and that makes her a champion. Giorgi only know how to hit the ball hard.
After all these years... and all those "medications"...
@@neilmodino9284 The only thing positive about Giorgi in this match is a cordial and respectful handshake with a slight smile for Serena, in comparison to the past. She tried it but had to humble herself in the presence of the boss, the GOAT: Serena Williams. LOL!
@@mcpheejesus5945 What are you talking about? First off, Giorgi played on par with, or better than, Serena in every aspect aside from serving. And to imply she had to "humble herself" for Serena is just laughable. Giorgi is second to none on the women's tour.
@@robertorolfo LOL. #THEJOKERCOMMENTSAGAIN.BRAVOONJOKES,JOKER!
Let’s go Serena! Huge fan! Would be great to see her win some more this year!!
Still got that serve on. Can’t take that from her. Looking good Serena. 2020 is your year.
I was actually quite nervous for this match for Serena as I know Camila is such a dangerous opponent, she either comes out and hits you off the court or comes out and makes error after error, unfortunately for Giorgi it was the latter but she was forced into errors by Serena who played amazingly after 4 months out of the game. Shea looking very strong and fit. That's danger signs for the rest of the WTA.
Imagine, she is not even on the pundits list of AO contenters🤔🤔🤔. If the players listen to them they are going to be screwed, remember Wang she could not handle the pressure and told the truth that the coach said Serena is no longer dangerous lol.
Serena is looking very good to get back to the top this year. She is showing she wants to if she is playing in smaller tournaments. Very impressive how she changed speeds and used angles
So much power from Serena! And she looks so much fitter than the past 2 years.
Tiger My thoughts,exactly. Especially the legs.
It's because she gave birth and not make much exercises to stay in the top form but she's still powerful
To me she looks even bigger. I don't see her able to play physical matches against the top players who can grind. Looks undercooked. But I could be wrong as well.

Saurabh Chakrabarty I have to agree I’m concerned about her movement due to that fact - she doesn’t look like as agile, her movement is a tad slower and that’s likely to be exposed by an Osaka or otherwise
And it's all natural, right? Just like it was natural with Mark McGuire, Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds...
Serena has lost so much weight and is moving great. I see another slam coming #GOAT
Audrey Williams yes she just can’t beat herself anymore in finals, she’s got everything to win any title this year she wants
, including the big 4 GS, but she just has to somehow hold her nerve. I think if she does great here, even possibly winning this smaller tier tournament warm up event, it could be just what the doctor ordered man. But overall today she looks great 👸🏾🎾🔥🔥🔥🔥😎🤟Lets go Rena!! Da goat 🐐!!!!
@@nelly2421 it's all on her instagram stories: fried chicken burgers, cookies, ...
Back on the PEDs now that she's not nursing da baby 😬
@@nathangraham1760 I think if Serena can win a smaller title like this one here, it'll give her that confidence to win in a Slam final. I reckon she's going to go all in this week and try and win here. That will be a huge boost for her going to Melbourne
@@andrewmark2783 , Yes! I agree.
Go girl. Cheering you on. Waiting for 24, 25. Wishing you a great year.
I enjoyed seeing Serena play and really liked her tennis outfit very suitable she looks great! !
The G.O.A.T. is back🧡💪🏻 godbless you serena!! Way to go Queen!!!👑👑
The GOAT that Serena, quick and strong🙌🏾💖
She is an inspiration to all mums in the world...
Congrats Serena! Looking good.
Awesome congratulations Serena Williams bravo 👏🏼this is your year ☝️🗯
Loving it Serena... 2020 and you are still able to reach your top form... We all can see it, just waiting for you boo
T Clipse Miss Corona says Hello
Ayo Ayodeji Tell her I said 👋 bye.. She’s overstayed her welcome
wow, That is the sweetest handshake from Giorgi since I've seen her!!!
Well down Serena, the queen is back, let us make it happen in 2020. #24
So glad she had the doubles match it made her seem lose and not rusty good first win
Not seen before: Giorgi was able to do a normal handshake. She is fast as lightning, but the placement of her strokes did not move Williams enough.
Right
proper handshake from Giorgi for once
Right!
The beauty and the beast.
Business as usual for the GOAT
You must be confused. Steffi Graf retired years ago, in a career that was only half as long as Serena but won only 1 fewer slams in half the time. Steffi is clearly the GOAT of women's tennis.
As Stuart said, I didn't see Steffi playing yesterday, so...
Nice to a 1 next to her name again
Cedric Antoine right finally
It's just this tournament...
robertorolfo We know.. They just meant it looks nice for her to have a 1 to her name.. Other tournaments she was seeded lower
@@black_nebula Because she hardly ever plays.
robertorolfo Yeah that is known by her fans haha
Brilliant players 👌 . Congratulations 🎉 SERENA Williams
Go Queen Serena❤
valelia wilmer you mean king
Serena is playing great and looking gorgeous!!
Its very very windy in Auckland so congrats to whoever wins matches, great win Serena and looks solid because Giorgi is an aggressive player.
Yasssssss Serena ❤️
Her foot work looked good and she's moving great, she seems hungry again! I was expecting this to be a tight match, but Serena really made sure she brought a solid game today. Good signs!
no such word as brang, "brought".
@@Lauren-vd4qe Thank you.
Good opening match for Serena. Though I feel her original R1 opponent Kuznetsova would have been a tough task.

Well done Serena was great to see you live today 😁😁

And I.. E. I. will always love Serena...🎼
serena the QUEEN!!!!
Well done Queen See! I saw many positives things in your game but i know you will increase it with all the events coming. Hopin' that you will win this Auckland Tournament.
Nice win to start the 2020 campaign for championship. Go our Queen!🎾👑😘 from Ontario Canada
I love how some of you are saying the GOAT isn't fit but she was fit enough to send Camilla home..
~💞~From One Williams To Another~ ~Job Well Done~💞💞~Looking Good Serena!~God Bless~🙏💕🙏
Giorgi's footwork is superb. Coaches should take note of her anticipation and hitting the ball early.
Unfortunately for her though... Serena is nearly back to her winning form. -GO SERENA!!
Richard Williams is a genius for knowing his girls had this talent.
Waiting for Serena's 24th is like Waiting for All I Want For Christmas to go #1 on Billboard. One thing's for sure, it is bound to happen. Let's gooooo!
She looks so fit and moving well. Very impressive serving tn
No she dnt
False
Probably the warmest handshake I've ever seen from Camila.
A Queen will always be a Queen 🏆🏆🏆
damn serena is playing at like walking pace, and she is still winning
It’s nice seeing a 1 next to her name on the score line again😌
it's nice to watch Serena fighting for every ball! :)
Good job Queen
I love Serena Willians!!! So nice!!
Serena looks fantastic and played nicely,in the face of all those people who attribute her wins to the power coming from an extra 25 kg on other female players.
THAT RIGHT AND CONGRATULATIONS QUEEN NOW LETS GO GET NO. 24 YOU'RE THE REASON WHY I'AM ENJOY IN TENNIS AGAIN
Keep the rhythm going Serena!
Queen Rena 🙏🏽❤️
Serena served 4 aces in a row but they didn’t show it
Really? I missed it!
Isaac Sleiman it might have been across two service games bc I watched the match and it def didn’t happen in one service game
As usual.
Bryan Martin I think she served 3 in a row
Bryan Martin it happened when it was 3 2 in the second set because she was on 2 then at the end of the service game it was at 6
Welcome back Queen, looking for great tennis from you this year. #24
Good to see Serena back 👑👑👑👑👑
I want Serena to shock Naomi , Bianca & Halep because they legit watch her game! When she plays them I want her to change it up a bit and I hope that’s the plan!
Way to go. GOAT.
Im' so glad to see SERENA back. I wish her the best, I hope she wins this year. She deserves it putting up with all that crap.
I see CG made sure to pull herself together before that handshake 😉 ... It's good to be competitive but take a note from Serena and try to be a little more gracious...you'll last longer and have far fewer anger wrinkles 😄
Bun goes up match over 💪
That's funny, the bun didn't seem to work against Andreescu. Oh, right, she didn't even have time to try it...
@@robertorolfo Isn't she injured right now? Go worry about her and less about Serena.
¡¡¡Que Maravilla para comenzar Excelente 2020 Serena, Congrats!!!!!
The Queen Serena is back
i like seeing that number one seed back
I like the way Giorgi shakes her ass waiting for the serve
Serena with the pro staff now I see❤️ Amazing performance!
Giorgi always plays Serena hard...Good win Serena
✨ Amazing Game ✨
It does look a competitive match. Pity for Giorgi only if not Serena in the first round. Lowered much in the ranking, Giorgi needed a big win which was thwarted by a big name. Anyway, she looks OK. Her stats were not bad, but not good enough against the top seed player. Just inside 100, she'd halve it surely this season.
Serena in doubles with Wozniacki looked sharper. It's probably because of Giorgi, an unlikely power hitter. In the long run, however, Serena's skill & experience come into play. Neatly finishes her job in 2. Passed a test. Next, Coco on collision course in the quarters. Good luck for both!
Playing with Serena is good practice.
So sad to me that Giorgi cannot get her mental game under control. She is a breathtakingly pure ball striker, and could easily give the top 10 the shakes as a normal thing, but.....
Nothing wrong with her mental game at all. She is one of the most composed players on the tour.
Everything is wrong with her mental game!! That is the problem!! Composed apparently... Inside, poor girl, not at all(( NEW COACH FOR THIS PURE TALENT
@@marcotudini5909 I don't think it's a composure issue necessarily, but I agree that a fresh coaching influence can certainly help.
It is about the quality of shots and not quantity. Camila served well but not all of her shots were of good quality and was hardly able to match Serena's power. Serena didn't serve well but made sure her shots were good, deep, powerful and with angles... she also moved well
Serena didn't serve well? Are you on drugs? Did you watch the match?
@@robertorolfo Maybe I should rephrase. She didnt serve as well as she can and she does in this match and I stand by it. She couldve served better!
@@jideodedeyi7126 Sure, anyone could "serve better" if every single first serve is an ace. But this was about as good as it gets, especially the second set.
Great to watch an old school classic of a match in HD. Hantuchova looked in form
Congrats Serena 🔝
SW is playing waaaay too defensively--she's too far behind the baseline. Notice that Halep, Naomi, and even Coco has COPIED SW game and playing it against Serena.
Just based on this video, Serena is seemingly playing more towards the baseline and though her foot work didn't look bad, her movements are the best I've seen form Serena. This is her first match of 2020 so I'm very sure she will get the hang of it soon. Otherwise, a very good start to the season, especially against Giorgi.
Serena i feel needs to win a smaller title to get over that hurdle in finals she's been on ... granted the women played immensely against her in those finals
Commentator: props to the, “Former” number one...so Unnecessary! Her name is Serena Williams and she is the Greatest Woman of All Time in Tennis! 🤗 spankin dem youngins! 💪🏾😃😂
REGARDS. THE FIGHT BETWEEN BEAUTY AND BEAST. FORCE CAMILA. SUCCESSES IN THE YEAR 2020.
Great job Serena!
Go Mrs Winner u r my number one
Beauty can never beat the beast
First off Serena has won a lot of matches by so-called looking out of shape. She has won grand slams by so-called looking out of shape. My only concern for her is that she is getting older and I would like to see her a little bit lighter. But I think at this point she's so used to carrying the extra weight until she may not feel the same on court without it. With that being said many years ago I remember people in all of Serena's extra weights and she ended up winning so I just wish her the best and that she doesn't sustain any injuries and I reluctantly agree with someone that said it may be good to bring someone new on to the team. And who's to say that hasn't already happened we just don't necessarily see them. Serena you got this!
jazdazable she probably already have someone new after last year! It’s no really broke she just needs something new cause the new girls watch her every move
Je suis très fan de Serena Williams..
That too easy for Seren she did not sweat a lot!
I remember year ago they had a couple of tennis player that hate Serena. I wander where are they now also what would this game be like without her?.
Too easy for Serena she didnt even sweat on that game!
You didn't even watch "on" that game, did you?
From the highlights the seemed to be closer than I thought. What was the deal of confusing me concerning Serena's match today.
Serena got a ton of points on aces. Otherwise the match was pretty close.
Right the way the commentary was you think each game was decided in a tie break rather than 6,3 6,2 lol
@@nakiatillman768 Again, for the people in the back, the score was misleading.
Why start highlights with a double fault?!? lol
Why cut most games & the four aces in a row Serena served? It's 2020 WTA let's show more highlights please! Higher love Serena Williams 💚💚💚💚🎾🎾🎾🎾✊👍💪
Because aces are boring to watch. That said, the first "highlight" was a double fault, so who knows what the fuck they are doing...
@@robertorolfo aces take work nothing boring about work
@@vicmwansa5073 Maybe doing the work isn't so boring, but watching an ace is definitely boring. Do you watch matches with John Isner or Reily Opelka playing? They are the worst, most boring players to watch.
Can you guys plz put Anisimova match highlights up next?
New decade, new season, new handshake from Giorgi. Oh, wait.
dayostical 😂😂😂😂
Actually this was one of the better ones I've seen!
I was looking for the people who always have something to say about Giorgi's handshake. I found you guys.
People comment that Serena looks fitter but I honestly don’t see it. Maybe it’s what she’s wearing. I also want to think of Slam #24 this year but I just don’t see her matching the level of the vastly improving top players like Osaka and Andreescu. Guess we’ll see. I’m a big Serena fan, so I’m hopeful.
She does not look fitter hardly any change serena had 5 months off to get her body back what did she do in those 5 months cause there no drastic change
dayzour123 agree. She cannot just win on power anymore because other players match that AND have superior fitness. She’s shown definite weakness when she plays fit players who can get balls back, let alone with interest. Sorry to say but she’s old news.
Man, those aces!
