Saba was just getting started here, her game was still all over the place. 2022 Aryna would have closed this easily. 2023-2024 Aryna would have taken the first and give Serena a bagel in the 2nd.
@@georgemavrides3434 How would you know?! It doesn’t matter the age with Serena. We ALL know when she was in good health, shape and feeling good, nobody AT ALL, can beat her. Any other 39-40 year old Sabalenka would have won against probably, but not Serena on a good day period.
I still think Serena could’ve played 2 more years, but I think the desire to do other things was on her mind. I miss her too!! There’ll never be another Serena. I like Sabalenka, but out of respect, I wish she would’ve toned down her screaming the words C’mon.💙🕊️
I understand why Serena was frustrated after the semi-final because against Sabalenka and Halep she played some of the best tennis we've seen from her since returning. I'd love to see a great rivalry develop in the future between Sabalenka, Osaka, Bianca and some of the younger generation.
That's why tennis is so unforgiving. You have to play your best tennis every single round against some of the best players out there. One bad day at the office and you are out. That's why I find people laughing at players loosing a final so stupid. They have no idea what a monumental effort it is to reach a final in a Grand Slam.
She had to, she's not as fast and if anyone's been playiing close attention, she switched to a slower kick serve at Aussie Open 2017 and it hasnt been much of a weapon as it was since that time.
Sabalenka definitely played better here than Osaka did against Serena. Serena unfortunately showed up at 10% potential against Osaka. That's okay, because Serena still GAINED lots of points from this AO, improving from a 3rd round loss in 2020 to a SF appearance in 2021. She will re-enter the Top 10 and she needs to focus on the fact that at her elite level she is still IMPROVING! Hence the frauds who say she "needs to retire" have no idea what it looks like to put in work and IMPROVE, even leaps and bounds above other WTA players 10+ years younger than her. Be proud of yourself Serena and keep going!
@@imlazy77 two times the UNFORCED errors as winners and 40% first serves in = 10% her potential. End of story. When Serena played about 60% her potential in 2019, she beat Osaka in straights
Wow. Serena has to be 39 years old before todays top players can be competitive. When she wanted to play she RARELY lost and if a player defeated her it was a BIG DEAL. I don't anticipate her winning another Major tournament, but I don't care. She has given me many years of enjoyment.
Did anybody ask you about if you thought she would win another Major? If you can say anything positive without saying something negative then just keep the entire thought to yourself.
@@misterme9829 2-3? How about none? ibut its fine. she should retire gracefully and settle down with her family. The WTA is in great hands with exciting and powerful players like barty and osaka
He fucking better he’s the reason it’s taken her so long to reach back to some sort of form! She could’ve won three more slams if she had waited to get pregnant
@@giffysstiffy887 Easily ...with Saba's matured game today, it wouldn't even be close. Same goes with Rybakina. Serena was lucky to play mostly with ball pushers for the previous decade, overpowering them with those steroid muscles and racking up titles.

Is it okay that Osaka is not Halep? Osaka's punches are much more dangerous than Halep's, sharper and more powerful, this power is a level higher than Halep's. Conclusion, Osaka, with her speed and sharpness of blows, simply cut into the peak since the birth of her daughter Serena Williams
It's wild to watch this match back 2 years later and to see how good Aryna was and yet how much she's improved now that she just won Madrid beating Iga in the final.
@@johnnysunrocket8618 Serena respected Sharapova, don't forget that Maria beat her twice when she was 17 and Serena 23 and one was the Wimbledon final. Sabalenka is more like Safina, she's just very physical and playing ugly tennis.
The mental block against Osaka. She’s starting to get nervous at the early stages of tournaments. First the finals, now at semi-finals. Serena needs to just relax and play.
I don’t think it was against Osaka in particular. I mean, Halep gave her one of the worst beatings of her life in a GS final and she wasn’t bothered at all. The issue is as that the top half of the draw was a joke, making the match against Osaka the last real hurdle to the trophy. Serena turns into a nervous mess when she’s close to breaking records, not because she’s bothered by any particular player.
@@DeepSeas.. the top half was really a joke in this tournament. Halep giving a beating to serena doesn’t prove anything since she has been a mess in the past 4 grand slam finals and 2 semi-finals. Halep just peaked early against her
@@amandacerny8145 That's the point he is saying, it has nothing to do with Osaka, its the finals in itself. She has a mental block. She has beaten Osaka in the last tournament she won.

I noticed it they were sitting on pins and needles...Sabalenka played well but she's playing Serena that's the difference...I like Sabalenka I'am glad she her first major the AO.
she would have won ?? Always so fucking disrespectful towards osaka. I mean why her fans have to always find excuses about when she loses to naomi. She is 3-1 vs serena the only player that has ever achieved that. And osaka is simply not sabalenka, osaka didnt let serena play her game and all the credits go to her
@@notis6107 if Osaka played Serena before she got pregnant, Serena would have punished Osaka. And no one is hatin against Osaka. The fact is that Serena clearly wasn’t playing as well as she did against sabalenka.
@@jordanwilliams1740 1) I dont even want to respond to that post pregnancy hypothetical match between the 2 because it is simply idiotic. There is not ifs in sports and you dont know who would win, u are just a fanboy so you are obviously picking serena, but in reality it could go either way. 2)i never said you are hating, i said it is disrespectful to keep finding excuses so to make naomis win lesser. 3) Naomi just didnt let serena play her game because she is also dominant in court, she is not halep 4) Osaka was the favourite before she won the match and she was also the favourite to win AO (which she did) so people actually could see that she was the best player at the moment because literally any prediction from every tennis analyst was favouring osaka. So its not that something extraordinary happened and serena lost, she was supposed to lose against naomi 5) And i am saying again you cant say every time that serena loses that it was on her, It may makes u feel better but that has nothing to do with reality and it will also not win her the 24 major. You need to face reality, serena isnt the best right now (she used to be and she is probably the best player of all time) but there are players like bianca or naomi who simply outclass her at the moment
How did you guys exclude the main highlight point of the entire match ??? First set game score 4-5 , 15-0 was the best point of the match and you guys seriously excluded the main part ???
Wow, after two years and the retirement of the legend Serena Williams, I return to this video. Serena in her last year before retirement defeats the young Sabalenka, who has become a source of fear for all current tennis players. But look at Serena, what a talented queen she is. I believe if Sabalenka had faced Serena from ten years before this video, she might not have been able to win a single set. Have we lost a lot???
There's a major difference between being fired up and just being annoying as hell. And sabalika is the most annoying person on the entire WTA. There's not too many people I'm excited to see lose but when she loses I'm always like she should have just stop screaming. Serena is GOAT
Frost, I agree 100%. The old Eastern block nations has the loudest players. The top 3 are: Sabalika, Aszeranka, and Screamapova. I can take Aszeranka, because though she’s loud, she doesn’t scream. But Sabalika and Sharapova are just too loud. Now that Screama is gone, Sabalika has replaced her. If someone was killing her, nobody would call 911, because they‘ll think she’s just practicing tennis.
@@safee4540: Ha Ha. Actually didn't see this entire match. On second look though, looks like Sabalenka definitely won out on volume, a competition that Serena usually wins by a large margin.
Where is the outrage and penalty for Sabalenka fit on court? It it bcuz she is a nobody player?, or bcuz she's playing against Serena so she can be disrespectful towards her opponent? Or is it bcuz she's a "KAREN"? Or bcuz a foreigner?
@@matty2time remember when there was no camera angle that showed a foot fault and the Asian line judge was just a racist trying to stir up trouble? Remember when Serena had emotional outbursts in less than 0.1% of ALL her professional matches?
Being a Serena fan for most of her amazing carrier, it was difficult to watch her struggle to get that 24 grand slam. In my opinion, Serena beat Serena most of those matches where she almost got it. This match is Serena at what she does best, just pure, raw, gutsy Serena. Her determination and "Im not going down without a figh" attitude is what makes her the greatest.
Which is really a compliment though. Serena nd Venus have inspired generations of tennis players. It’s crazy that for some of Sabalenka’s COME ONs I thought it was Serena screaming. 😅😂
Ugh, I want to be a sabalenka fan SO badly, but I just really wish she was a more consistent player. I LOVE Serena, so cannot wait to find someone new to root for in a few years when she retires. Hopefully Sabalenka can get it by then!
Did she really need to extend her grunt even though the ball was clearly on Serena's side already at 9:07 to 9:09? Her grunt was delayed. Not sure if this was purposeful or...her normal
It happens the older we get that we can produce such great tennis and then lose energy in the final rounds. That's what happened in Serena's semis against Osaka. She had a very tough draw and towards the end lost energy.
It’s funny to me how most of Serena’s great points were skipped over!! The hate is real!!! Sad at this day and age and all Serena has accomplished that the editing is still so biased smh!!
At least Sabalengka has played against the greatest tennis player in the world. To win against Serena is very big accomplishment and to lose her is an experience.
No need to write that everywhere bro. Also I disagree ... Sabalenka improved a lot and still can. Let’s see her in her prime and judge again. I doubt Williams can run that fast to return Sabalenkas winners...
@@simihartseil6593 The point is that Sabalenka wouldn't match younger Serena (late 20s early 30s). No current WTA athlete (or even retired) can match Serena when she fires in all cylinders. Nobody!!
Every player should have right to play under her/his country's flag. ATP do not mix sport with politics. Wars are run by politicians not sportsmen/sportswomen. Why during the invasion of Iraq, 20 year bombing of Afghanistan not to mention the genocidal Vietnam war US, Australian UK... athletes were allowed to compete under their national flag ? *** All wars are equal, but some wars are more equal than others.
This match highlights their similarities, Aryna also has the angles of Serena and the huge forehand. Both huge serves, Serena of course has a better one though and is more naturally athletic (even at 39 she is keeping up pretty well). She would have been a better rival than Sharapova.
At 3:55 the commentator calls Serena, Venus Williams🙄😂😂 Plus the 2nd Commentator didn't correct her either...I swear I have NEVER mistaken The Williams Sisters since they've been in tour!
These commentators were very obvious about wanting Sabalenka to win. When she hit a good shot they made so much of it, when Serena hit a good shot they stayed silent.
Imagine aging Serena still beating Sabalenka imagine what 2012 Serena could have done to Sabalenka these days tennis is not fun, I remembers days where I could watch Williams sisters , Henin, Sharapova, Dementieva, , Kim Clijsters, and Martina Hingis these were days we had players who could fight till the end nowadays everyone can win a slam.

Second final in a row - looks like Arina makes your wishes come true.
@@ediccartman7252 LOVE
Sabalenka….stop shouting…you can’t beat the very legend 😍
Sabalenka is already another level has improved an incredible way it is my favorite after serene❤
Funny they won't show her throwing a temper tantrum, prolly bc it wasn't Serena.
Prolly bc she isn't a mother?
Sablanka was trying to pressurised serena by screaming...but that helped serena i guess...nywys queen know how to perform under pressure
Power vs Power!!! Whew, what a match!
Did she really need to extend her grunt even though the ball was clearly on Serena's side already at 9:07 to 9:09? Her grunt was delayed. Not sure if this was purposeful or...her normal
Loo
Lol
Serena the best ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was the match of the tournament for me 🏆🏆🏆 Would have loved to see more of these two.
I think I speak for tennis fans everywhere when I say, “Great March ladies. . . And SHUT UP Sabalenka!“
Wow good playing
legendry stuff
@@jaftamhlongo4584
Yes
It happens the older we get that we can produce such great tennis and then lose energy in the final rounds. That's what happened in Serena's semis against Osaka. She had a very tough draw and towards the end lost energy.
Sabalenka, wowww... such a fierce and strong player
Nah! She's what we call a waste of power tbh.
@@comosedice6104 you have no idea what you’re talking about man.... keep the snarky comments at bay until you achieve something yourself
@@jameshampton5659 sure. Mr achieved everything in life.
Dope
The commentators makes a big deal when sabelenka gets 15 lousy points but when serena gets a point crickets. Silence. I've noticed this a lot.
Serena was so unlucky not to come up with at least 2 win out of those 4 finals
Ms Sabalenka throws the ball so high when serving ,that its got snow on it as it slowly comes back down to the court !
Serena is always the legend
Full match, please!
It’s funny to me how most of Serena’s great points were skipped over!! The hate is real!!! Sad at this day and age and all Serena has accomplished that the editing is still so biased smh!!
sabalenka needs a chill pill
Serena played even when she didn't have the same legs anymore. She is the GOAT, between men and women!!!
And now Sabalenka has 2 ausstralian open titles
Why were there so many empty seats? Serena and Sabalenka are 2 of the most famous players on WTA at that time.
Dude that was during COVID
how easily we forget about the pandemic lol @@tasnimmosref
Their games are very similar.
They all wanted to be Serena, scream like her. The GOAT won. Loved this match.
Would love to see vintage Venus up against Sabalenka
serene was always the best
At least Sabalengka has played against the greatest tennis player in the world. To win against Serena is very big accomplishment and to lose her is an experience.
Serena the best ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
If Aryna had met Serena in her young age there will be no match 😄
No need to write that everywhere bro. Also I disagree ... Sabalenka improved a lot and still can. Let’s see her in her prime and judge again. I doubt Williams can run that fast to return Sabalenkas winners...
@@simihartseil6593You completely missed what the person was stating. Serena younger years she would have destroyed Sablelinka
@@simihartseil6593
The point is that Sabalenka wouldn't match younger Serena (late 20s early 30s).
No current WTA athlete (or even retired) can match Serena when she fires in all cylinders. Nobody!!
Every player should have right to play under her/his country's flag.
ATP do not mix sport with politics. Wars are run by politicians not sportsmen/sportswomen.
Why during the invasion of Iraq, 20 year bombing of Afghanistan not to mention the genocidal Vietnam war US, Australian UK... athletes were allowed to compete under their national flag ?
***
All wars are equal, but some wars are more equal than others.
Serena you were awesome!💕
This match highlights their similarities, Aryna also has the angles of Serena and the huge forehand. Both huge serves, Serena of course has a better one though and is more naturally athletic (even at 39 she is keeping up pretty well). She would have been a better rival than Sharapova.
3:54
"Another serve from Venus Williams?"
Is the reporter drunk?
🤣🤣
Sabalenka has the most unfortunate face on the WTA. She always looks pissed off and her handshake is legendary.
English please
Omg lmao
I didn't remember for one year how good Serena Williams was until see this video
At 3:55 the commentator calls Serena, Venus Williams🙄😂😂 Plus the 2nd Commentator didn't correct her either...I swear I have NEVER mistaken The Williams Sisters since they've been in tour!
The screams of the obnoxious sabalenka did not help her win the game
Love watching sabalenka lose…warms my heart
How did Serena win here but lose to Osaka, it’s mind bugling . Definitely it was a mental thing.
These commentators were very obvious about wanting Sabalenka to win. When she hit a good shot they made so much of it, when Serena hit a good shot they stayed silent.
So at least we know what happens, when a version of Williams on 80 percent strength plays against a version of Sabalenka on 80 percent strength 🙂
Sabalenka's on court antics remind me of a clown.
That third set was a screaming match.
🤣🤣
Fr
Love Serena Williams she is the goat of women's tennis
sabalenka reminds me of Mauresmo!
...NO BUSINESS RETIRING YET I'M LIVID!!
NONE of the greats were playing this well when they left...Graf was close.
Id say Serena had more to offer had she not slipped on the grass that year. That injury was brutal and took her out.
@@spillomina I agree.
@@spillomina but still...good enough to win.
Imagine aging Serena still beating Sabalenka imagine what 2012 Serena could have done to Sabalenka these days tennis is not fun, I remembers days where I could watch Williams sisters , Henin, Sharapova, Dementieva, , Kim Clijsters, and Martina Hingis these were days we had players who could fight till the end nowadays everyone can win a slam.
Serena is So ❤🔥
The Queen!!!
9:48
🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣DAHHHHHHHHHHHH
serena is not afraid of sabalenka but she is very afraid of naomi
Australian open should be ashamed of the highlights of the 3rd set. Shameful!!
Like a roar of 2 lions
Bravo Serena
For a match that Serena won, why is this highlight mainly including Sabalenka points? And more over, points in games she ends up losing? Weird.
Одна из лучших игр Серены
Cameramen kept changing angles. 😂
That was an intense grunting match. I’m actually not sure who’s more butch out of these two.
Hmm do you think from listening to the commentary since it was in the Late 2000's the commentators will get it right whether it's Venus or Serena😅
