No. 4 seed Lindsay Davenport takes on No. 1 seed Serena Williams for a place in the final of US Open 2002! Twitter: / usta Facebook: / usta Website: www.usta.com
This is what actual depth on the tour looked like. Most top seeds making the business end of tournaments, every top 10 player having won at least a GS or Tier 1, and full of rivalries. If a player wanted to get into the top 10, they had to have consistent strong results and actually go through the players ahead of them because draws wouldn't fall apart.
was literally just thinking this as i was watching, the williams sisters, hingis, davenport, capriati, mauresmo, seles was still in the mix, henin and clijsters were breaking into the major ranks of the game, this was when i got in to tennis and it was an epic time for women's tennis.
Agreed. What a time for tennis. So many great players. We were spoilt! I loved the william sisters. We had Lindsay, Maria, Henin, Capriati, Hingis, Maursemo, Seles, Kim, so many talents
Serena & "her" "sister" are dudes. Its impossible for biological females to have that bone, & muscular structure. (I was a medical professional. I'm not making it up. Do the research.)
They were both crushing the ball!, and no SCREECHING. lol. I always loved Lindsey's strokes. But Serena's power, accuracy, mobility and serve were always a bridge too high for Lindsey. Great match.
I agree. Lindsey was a powerful, accurate ball striker too, with great timing on the ball, but she could never match Serena's mobility and athleticism. When you look at old clips of a young Serena, i always think she's built more like a 100/200-meter sprinter than a tennis player. Incredible athlete.
These superstars and former professional tennis superstars knew that Serena Williams would be the biggest threat in all of their careers and what a great match it was indeed! Serena is sure to go down in history as the greatest of all time! AKA the GOAT

Adding to the comments about this as the golden era in women's tennis, I wanna emphasize the aestaetics of these players' games.... I can't really think of any player RN who's getting near this. Sure, Jabeur has a beautiful game, and i think Swiatek does too, and Kvitova, but look how fluid everything looks here. The service movement and forehands of Serena and Lindsay, it's really artistic.
at this point in tennis, the older girls couldnt match serenas power , serve, the level of her serve returns, or her mobility. there was just no match with her , not even the off again on again Venus. it took Justine Henin to learn to beat her forehand hard around 2003 onwards and have a mix of shots in her game, to bring herself to a match Naomi Osaka today, has a brilliant serve, but still readable.... nevertheless, her serve is the least readable for Serena, which has made her difficult to beat. Justine had serenas number for a good many years, but Serena with her level and longevity, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind , she is the greatest of all time. no Navratilova, no graf, no seles, no Justine . Naomi's game will get her a few good slams but no chance to be at the level of Graf or Serena on slam numbers.
If Henin would have played post 2010 Serena it wouldn’t have been easy… Serena got even better… 2012-2015 Serena would figure out Osaka as her mental game was much much stronger than now
"Justine had serenas number for a good many years" ---- ummm i dont know what reality you live in but it was only 1 year in 3 of the slams and serena was unfocused and as big as lizzo that year anyway. in 2008 she beat Justine pretty handily in Miami and then again at the 2010 Australian . the head to head is 8-6 in favor of Serena, Serena has a similar head to head against Elena Dementieva. Justine challenged Serena but it's flat out wrong to say Justine "had Serena's number"
Notice her fitness, if she gains a pound that will be talked about for certain. But fitness has nothing to do with weight because those with smaller builds have lost to her big time, will they be considered less fit? Lol
Serena's body is crazy sculptured. Wow! She looks incredible! Her body here is what women all over the world are paying and dying for (2024). EVERYONE was talking about her body and her outfit. It was even the lead story on the national news. I remember watching an interview where she stated that EVERYTHING changed for her overnight after she wore this bodysuit.
There was no audible comments heard in 2000 when they last met,I enjoyed the match more,❤Dobie Wan Kanobie revisited October 2023❤ they talk a lot in New York Darryl, they are spotter for the opposition, My Opinion yall ❤
Listening in 2022 to the commentators, you sense the intimidation (fear?) and lack of empathy for the young Superstar in the making just because of being black, beautiful, and a transcendent athlete. A female athlete far beyond any on the women’s tour to that point and maybe ever. Whether you call it implicit bias, racism, or a desire to see The Grand Old Lady (Lindsay) win one more after her knee surgery and nearing retirement - whatever it is, it was sad and detrimental to tennis and black women and girls all over 🇺🇸. Could they not see that before them was something magically great? Maybe a player that would never come again in the history of the game? Sadly, no. Thank You Serena for showing such grit, grace, magic, and vulnerable wisdom over all the years on the global stage. It goes way beyond tennis. Now for the second act as a social change agent globally. How about some programs and efforts for African and Caribbean girls education and health?
Listen at the announcers! They simply can not do any more than wonder why Serena is so good. And, what can Lindsay do...It is pathetic and more diversity in the booth will do tennis a great service...After Winners the announcers are true to form...let the great shots Serena hits just fade away without comment or worthy applause...what is that about? Oh, America.
Have we heard the announcers say any of Serena's shots were "beautiful"...nope! That accolade is reserved for the person she is pummeling....wow! the announcers booth is just disappointing in a very American way.....America needs lots of help.
The focus of the announcers is Lindsay Davenport and honoring her performance with inability credits on the mere hint of doing better against Serena...Pathetic!
Very. They r focussing on what she should do to defeat Serena but r not talking about hiw well Serrna is playing. They should be ashamed of themselves even after do many yrs to hear themselves biased like this.
This was the best era of women's tennis. So many big stars with big games, big personalities, and epic rivalries.

I liked the era before this a lot more, you know, before tennis sounded like bad porn movies.

The body the girls are going under the knife for. Serenas body was a comic book super hero body in her early years.
SHERA!!!!

🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
@@discobikerAndRosie dismiss yourself!
Yes something serene did to her body it's was not that bulky I think it's because of friends pressure since she is frnds of Kardashian nd Hilton...

Not to mention all the PEDs Serena was using. 🤭
Both women truly are inspiring.
All powerful Serena. Never count her out.And that catsuit ... you ain’t got a chance 💪🏽✅🤗💃🏽

Henin had one great year against Serena. Serena would have beaten her post 2012 because she got so much better as a player.
@@co9971 and that's on periodt poo!!
Serena's body was on point and the serve everything
Dayum Serena had it going on right here!!! 🔥🔥💙💙💙 Game on point BODY out of this world and that outfit was perfect
Yes! I remember “the catsuit” from 2002.
Serena and Venus had so much Hate during these years on the Tour...So Sad...Shame on you America
Notice her fitness, if she gains a pound that will be talked about for certain. But fitness has nothing to do with weight because those with smaller builds have lost to her big time, will they be considered less fit? Lol
Lindsay's two major problems: her fitness and her shoelaces.
😀😀😀
Lindsay was super fit ... It was her mobility that was the issue, she was 6 ft 2 ....
I'm just here to see the catsuit😍
It’s remarkable how boring tennis has become in 2023. No wonder the tour can hardly fill up the seats these days.
Venus vs jennifer 2001 SF PLZ

Serena literally gifted Davenport those 3 games in that first set.
Right. All her points and games came from Serena errors.
There was no audible comments heard in 2000 when they last met,I enjoyed the match more,❤Dobie Wan Kanobie revisited October 2023❤ they talk a lot in New York Darryl, they are spotter for the opposition, My Opinion yall ❤

Can you give an example of the commentators' bad attitude?
Wondered when someone would play the race card 🥱😴😴🥱
Just listening these commentators they just bias towards Serena they not wanting to say Serena is whipping Davenport??? Whatever
5-2 in second set 😭
Thank you so much Davenport missed opportunities no Serena Williams raised her level...... he didn’t wanna hear that LOL
I was glad the Williams sisters won consecutively after the display of nastiness by the entitled Indian Wells crowd the year before.
My Hitta 🙌🏽❤️🙌🏽
Serena is going to win.
Listen at the announcers! They simply can not do any more than wonder why Serena is so good. And, what can Lindsay do...It is pathetic and more diversity in the booth will do tennis a great service...After Winners the announcers are true to form...let the great shots Serena hits just fade away without comment or worthy applause...what is that about?

Serena body looks like a million dollars
How many GS Lindsey won?
Lindsey won 3 GS. She never once defended one. She never more than one in year.
Have we heard the announcers say any of Serena's shots were "beautiful"...nope! That accolade is reserved for the person she is pummeling....wow! the announcers booth is just disappointing in a very American way.....America needs lots of help.

53:14 Cracks me up, lol!
If Lindsay was one step quicker, she would have been dominant. Her size was actually a liability.
Epic rivalry! Tennis at its great
But very poor video quality!!! 😮
Serena na Lindsay ya ajabu..
Wewe wa wapi? Kenya au TZ
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Lindsay lack mobility.
Only powerful ground strokes. No variety ... boring tennis. .
The biggest shame on women s tennis are these Williams brothers !! 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
What's your take on Martina ?
YOU ARE A HATER
To compare them to males shows how powerful they are ,clown
This commentator was foaming at the mouth about Lindsay not having a winner. #NotSuprised
