sadly women's tennis today is in serious crisis....no more champion mentality like these two amazing women had. Forever love for Williams' sisters and Henin
You have Iga Świątek, she literally broke Serena/Venus win streak record for 21st century last year and defended RG title unlike Serena, 4 slam titles at 22, what do you want more? Or maybe you meant no more American players with champion's mentality ?
@@alazjaw.8968 Iga is still too young to compare. She can only compare to Serena at 22 y.o. Overall, Serena can't compare to Iga on clay, Iga is much better clay-courter who has a realistic chance of breaking Chris Evert record of 7 French Opens. Iga already has 3 FO at the age of 22, Serena won her 2nd at the age of 32. No one sane compares Iga to Serena overall, because we know how many slams Serena won.
All three rounds were such battles in that heat (QF-Azarenka, SF-Li Na, & F-Henin), but somehow Serena prevailed. She really wanted consecutive AO GS title wins. The only time she did it. 1:22:15 Third set 6-2
Yeah I think she was sick of winning it in the odd year. 03, 05, 07 and 09. She wanted to finally win it back to back. Plus she had extra motivation to win as they were trying to ban her from the 2010 Australian because of the incident at the 2009 US Open and people were saying at the time the only reason she was winning grand slams is because Justine and Kim retired. Kim beat her at the US Open on her comeback so Serena had something to prove that she is the best player in the world.
Serena was injured,played doubles and won the title. I think Serena was surprised she was able to win this title, this was a tense match,they weren't exactly buddies due to the French open incident years earlier
Women's tennis back then is when girls were hungry and was determined to win a grand slam even if it was to break a leg you don't get that feeling these days...
Yeah none of these players captivate me. I'm not in awe of them like Williams sisters, Clijsters, prime Azarenka, Sharapova. I just watch men's tennis only now
this match was such high quality because the williams sisters forced everyone to raise their levels, and when they started to levae the game the level dropped but swiateks dominance forced everyone to again raise their level, and sabalenka rybakina rose to the challenge
Gotta love the subtle bias/racism against Serena by the commentators and the crowd. Saying it without saying it. Gross. But that’s okay.. can’t beat a talent.
I know you're being sarcastic, but No, we don't "gotta love" the bias/racism against Serena from bigoted commentators and bigots in the stands. In fact one of those bigots brazenly yelling evil racial slurs in the stands was blessedly Tossed OUT of the venue and was Not allowed back in again for the rest of the tournament!
Serena has won so many Australian Open. Unfortunately for her sister Venus who is a great champion herself. Venus is the only player in the Serena, Justine, Clijsters, Sharapova, Mauresmo, Capriati, Davenport and Hingis era to never won the Australian Open. All these women have won the Australian Open in their career apart from Venus she lost 2 finals to Serena. What is shocking Venus made her second Australian Open final 14 years later first time in 2003 then 2017. Something definitely happened to her in her career. She deserved so much more.
Serena holds for 2/1 in the first set and one of commentators says "Well Justine could have been up 3/love but Serena holds." Umm sir you speaking as though it was on Justine's racquet and Serena didn't throw in aces on break point lol
What the commentator meant is that Henin did not take advantage of Serena's errors in her 1st and 2nd games that resulted in break points in both games.. I'm not sure how you could have possibly misconstrued such a simple comment.
2010, January - winter time. Bro and I watching these goats. He had supported Henin, and me obviously MOM Serena! Time flies…… missing my childhood! Greetings from Dubai, August 2023
the funny thing is that at that time Serena was already an 11 time grand slam champion while Justine 7 yet somebody still dared to shout "she's not that good" 😅😂🤡
There was always bias & racism by the commentators when Serena played against other players. When she wasn’t doing so great they always had something negative to say, soon as her game picked up they all in her favor.
Remember watching this live, Henin just came back and already reached her 2nd final. But, sadly this is Henin last grand slam final. Also, if Serena lost this, it gonna get in her head even more than the lost to Clijsters
@@black_nebula Serena could barely even get out of bed she was in so much knee pain before that Vinci match. As the day wore on, Serena was able to move a little better and decided to play so as not to disappoint all the people who'd bought tickets and were anticipating watching the final. There is no way Vinci could have/would have defeated a healthy, top form Serena who was not in pain.
Interestingly, though Justine was considered a "back-hand specialist," Serena Williams officially his more back-hand winners than Justine!! Serena's technique and tennis IQ are fantastic! Venus made note of how Serena's back-hand is legendary. Of course, Serena had great variety of shot and normally consistently perfect form in her amazing serve.
But as nice as Justine's backhand may have "looked," brilliant Serena Williams hit more backhand winners than Justine. Serena Williams is the backhand Queen!
Justine's backhand did look nice. But what's interesting is that Serena Williams had More backhand winners at the time! Serena was known for her backhand. At least by people who were/are real tennis afficionados. Of course Serena was also known for her perfect service motion and brilliant serves, her topspin lobs, her drop volleys, her forehand, etc. Serena had great variety of shot. Fantastic all around. Thus her winning more Professional Majors Singles Titles than any lady in History!
I do not know who the commentators are; however, I must say I have never heard a tennis match called like this one (2010 Australian Open Women's Final). So much ignorance and bigotry expressed...
"Did the commentator, female, say " It was good to hear the applause when Serena double-faulted?" WOW!!!!! They tried so hard to find some/any one who could challenge Serena, but they couldn't. 🤔 😂 😂 😎 😂
A prime Justine and a prime Serena would run through the Top 10 today! I think maybe Sabalenka would hold her own though if her nerves didn't get the best of her!
Gonna leave this here..
1:40:11 "COME ON JUSTINE, SHE'S NOT THAT GOOD!!
Yeah man from that moment you knew who is.. SERENA FUCKING WILLIAMS!!!
❤well said and well OBSERVED
“Come on Justine, she’s not that good!” 😂 Thank you sir because that lit a fire under Serena’s ass.
LOL "Lit a fire" under Serena, indeed!
and the funniest thing is she was already an 11 time grand slam champion fighting for her 12th while Justine 7 😂🤦🏻 that guy was a clown fr
Those were the good old days of tennis!!!
Oops 😂

@@SmithyPL that’s not really what I mean. what I mean is you could’ve said that without adding that part in because iga still can not compare.

I’d argue this year’s AO final was very tightly contested between Sabalenka and Rybakina
Yeah none of these players captivate me. I'm not in awe of them like Williams sisters, Clijsters, prime Azarenka, Sharapova. I just watch men's tennis only now
@@ism7588 the quality was not close to this match but agree It was a good final
@@thisp666 I agree the quality in AO final this year is not the same as the William sisters era

They always did Serena like that. I always acted surprised when she didn’t care what they said/thought about her.
Explain where please

She has an autoimmune disorder.

Racism smh🙄
Tennis or sports is not a game of could have. Games contain errors luck talent thinking and sometimes just plain good playing.
Racist commentators
My fav Serena match of All-Time 🏆 and it’s been some good ones. The GOAT was determined to WIN i🏆 injury and all🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾
Analysts said (including the former champions) that Serena has the best serve! I think I agree.
Commentators appeared to be extremely biased. The worst commentators I have ever heard in a Grand Slam.
2010, January - winter time. Bro and I watching these goats. He had supported Henin, and me obviously MOM Serena! Time flies…… missing my childhood! Greetings from Dubai, August 2023
Most dominating player against the most beautiful backhand in the world.

The lost to Clijsters wasn't in her head. The foot fault fiasco humbled her. The match that got in her head was the Vinci match

Just hear the "cheers" as Justine got a point😅😅😅 racism at its best. Such distasteful set of people😒
EXACLTY 😢
I love Serena, but the technique of Justine Henin is just unbelievably good.
Interestingly, though Justine was considered a "back-hand specialist," Serena Williams officially his more back-hand winners than Justine!! Serena's technique and tennis IQ are fantastic! Venus made note of how Serena's back-hand is legendary. Of course, Serena had great variety of shot and normally consistently perfect form in her amazing serve.
That one-handed backhand. We miss it, Justine. ❤
But as nice as Justine's backhand may have "looked," brilliant Serena Williams hit more backhand winners than Justine. Serena Williams is the backhand Queen!
@sieraclayton1503 single handed is always more beautiful to watch than double handed
Justine's backhand did look nice. But what's interesting is that Serena Williams had More backhand winners at the time! Serena was known for her backhand. At least by people who were/are real tennis afficionados. Of course Serena was also known for her perfect service motion and brilliant serves, her topspin lobs, her drop volleys, her forehand, etc. Serena had great variety of shot. Fantastic all around.

In her other matches, whenever she is a set down, thats when she's most dangerous.

Wspaniała kariera i historia tenisa ! SERENA ⚘💖⚘💖⚘💖⚘🎾🎈🎾🎈🎾🎈🇵🇱
legendy tenisa
Serena the 🐐 ❤❤❤❤❤
whew wtf???? I always liked watching these women play.
and I like Ms Henin stares
#1
Please Nadal VS Khachanov last year full match 🙏🏼
I do not know who the commentators are; however, I must say I have never heard a tennis match called like this one (2010 Australian Open Women's Final). So much ignorance and bigotry expressed...
GO SERENA, GO G.O.A.T.!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
The GOAT ❤
BAD BROADCASTING
Glad she won
Elle est sublime la belle Serena Williams❤❤❤
"Did the commentator, female, say " It was good to hear the applause when Serena double-faulted?" WOW!!!!! They tried so hard to find some/any one who could challenge Serena, but they couldn't. 🤔 😂 😂 😎 😂
will there ever be a GOAT as great as Serena Williams? I hope so...
Como si estuviera jugando serena contra Iga Świątek 😮WOW
Dou ever count Serena out marc she lit the 🔥 under Justine butt how do u like that sorry to disappoint you . Haha
The Belgium crowd far outnumbered the Americans. No problem for Serena though.
The reporters seem almost sad to see her win.🤷🏼♀️ but she wins anyway.🤣
If you were a Williams fan you would know. They've always HATED both Vee and Serena. Disgraceful racist commentators! Especially Mary Dyke Carillo...
ostpark 2016
Serena shut up the crowd.
Was this HD filmed using a potato?
grande selena❤❤
Times change always, stop wanting tennis to be the same of last decade, nowadays it's a wonderful sport as well...
Yeah, right. No great amount of longevity or fight in these young players. Just one-hit wonders.
The women's game is so goddamn boring nowadays. No passion, service breaks galore, inconsistent as ever, mentally weak.
The favorite at one set all... That's dead even.
I hate the commentators , how they are insulting sere everytime.🤬😡
Mureasmo had just as sweet a one hander.
ReRe TCB!!!!
A prime Justine and a prime Serena would run through the Top 10 today! I think maybe Sabalenka would hold her own though if her nerves didn't get the best of her!
