You remember that year? Seles, Serena, Venus, Hingis, Davenport, Sanchez, Capriati, Clijsters, Pierce, Mauresmo, Henin, Novotno, Fernandez ... all was there. We we were so lucky to witness that era of tennis... Missing that time so much.
Oh boy! Can't forget that year...all great players, great matches and it was Serena's first slam victory.... How talented those players were at that time and they had very distinctive playing style unlike today's tennis where everyone hits very hard without any particular reason....this tennis is just a garbage...I don't watch today's big hitter's tennis....no fun in tennis anymore....especially after the retirement of King Roger and Queen Serena..... Though I appreciate Iga, Osaka, Bianca, Rybakina but today's tennis has no joy.... Plz bring me back the time of 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 when we had a great bunch of immensely talend players.... Hingis, Davenport, Venus, Serena, Capriati, Monica Seles, Kim Clijsters, Henin, Arantxa, Conchita, Mary Pierce, Mauresmo, Sharapova, Dementieva, Kuznetsova and many many more....how much I miss those days and that intense rivalry....almost all of them were inducted in 'Tennis Hall of Fame' and they deserved it for a great reason.... I would rather watch Serena vs Davenport US Open rather Iga vs Sabalenka French Open Final.....
let me add more to your list: Sharapova, worstniacki, Jankovic, Ivanovic, Kutznesova, Safina, Radwanska, Stosur, Azarenka, Kvitova, Lina, Halep, lisicki, Dementieva, maguruza, kerber, osaka.
After watching the Rick Macci interview, I understand why Serena was so muscular: their physical conditioning was intense. Martial arts, sports, games, training several hours a day. Amazing!
It speaks to how technically sound Serena's serve has been all these years, seeing here that her motion has remained the same for her whole professional career!
Love watching these old classics, brings back so much memories, both Lindsay & Serena are legends of our sport. It's not that difficult to support both.
This is a stunning, legendary run by baby Serena,most of the women she beat for her first Grandslam title are now Hall Of Famers-Clijsters,Martinez,Seles, Davenport,Hingis.(And don't forget she beat the legendary Steffi Graf that year in the Indian Wells final) She showed in this tournament why she was a future Goat. To the Serena haters with your anti Serena bias, inability/unwillingness to deal with reality, desperate sad desire not to and phony arguments against her-Weak era my ass! Goat/Boat/Queen/ Legend/Icon 😍👍👏
@@montagne5825 Yes, she had to be great, because she dealt with the added burden of racist fans. But all of our great athletes had to deal with it. Jesse Owens, Jackie Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Hank Aaron, Arthur Ashe, Simone, and dozens more, and from the looks of it, they are still here, it’s the American way. The other races in the U.S. don’t harass players based on race or ethnicity. If we keep praying, maybe they’ll realize they aren’t superior!
All tennis matches should be played mionus the commentators. I wont lie i enjoyed this match so much more this time without the over talk... just a personal opinion
If she needs never wins one again she and Venus have already made history and it will forever go down in history as the greatest two sisters who has ever done it and to come from where they have humble beginnings makes it all the more spatacular.......don't it.
Lindsay and Hingis had an agreement for Hingis to beat Venus and Davenport to beat Serena so that Hingis and Davenport could compete in the Final and keep the Williams sisters out. Hingis beat Venus but Davenport couldn't beat Serena. Serena and Hingis competed and Serena ended up winning. That was her first Grand Slam win.
The fact that Lindsay was so competitive with all the top players she played including the Williams sisters given her lack of foot speed and agility really goes to show how her ground strokes are legendary and arguably unmatched by any other player (stroke for stroke) in tennis history. Just listening to how the ball leaves her racquet is so pleasing to the ear.
@@terrencecoccoli524 Indeed it is! I am not fond of transgendered males competing in women's sports...its an unfair advantage. The hip to shoulder ratio in males and females do not lie. No matter how much work is done to decieve.
She knew had it in 7th game of the 3rd set. She punctuated the moment. Davenport came back hard in the 8th to break Williams but couldn't. That match winner! Serina manufactured the return off her serve. Amazing. Much admiration for both players.
Davenport is a white woman and that is not to say that white women are not fast but then Serena back in 1999 was already a physical phenomenon on the Tennis Court. In 1999 Serena was already showing some signs of greatness but no one knew for sure what would happen later In life.
I'm a big Davenport admirer, but much like Hingis benefitted from an injured Graf to win her slams, I think Davenport benefitted from the next generation of talents (Serena, Venus, Henin) not being quite mature enough to handle the big stages in the late 90s. Once they took full flight, Davenport didn't have much of a chance. She's was super talented and consistent though, and I'm glad she won her three slams.
She always referred them as “those girls”. Never referred to them as Venus, Serena but finally gave respect after Serena beat her then Hingis in the final.
Davenport and Hingis swore to each other that they would beat Venus and Serena so they could compete against each other in the Final and keep the Williams sisters out. Hingis beat Venus but Davenport couldn't beat Serena. Serena went on to beat Hingis at the Final.
@@talismon63 just plain jealousy and envi because the Williams sisters had weapons they didn't or couldn't have just plain idiocy to hate or dislike a player who hasn't done anything to you.
I loved Davenport but she needed checks on her racism and her homophobia. Be it with the Williams sisters or Mauresmo, she threw some very biased shade.

Interesting handshake. Lindsay firmly pulled in Serena and said something. I can’t make it out. Anybody know? Hopefully Lindsay admonished her for something. Serena is such an ungracious and tacky winner and loser. So is Venus.
Well I think they handled themselves well considering how condescending most people were to them at such a young age. It's a miracle they didn't lash out more. Your hate fuels their motivation for continued success.
Lindsay was always a good sport and a very clean ball striker.It was a hard fought battle Serena showed some mental toughness. I do agree about Serena Sportsmanship is not the best .If she lost it would of been a excuse.

I hear you
Soooo Much what a great era!!!
True. WTA is a mess right now. Lot of privileged self-involved jerks who think winning one tourney makes them the presumptive GOAT.

No, Serena an MTF
I just realized Serena and Graf accomplished the same feat in 1999. Both defeated Sales, Davenport, and Hingis enroute to a grand slam title.
It speaks to how technically sound Serena's serve has been all these years, seeing here that her motion has remained the same for her whole professional career!
These are the makings of a Tennis Great!
Serena you must win one more slam so you can say you won one in the 90s,00s,10s and 20s.
she hasnt won a grand slam in years her reign is over
@@americanpatriot7233 You wish!
@@the___truth8038 serena hasnt won a slam in years you moron her reign ended long ago
@@the___truth8038 i told you her reign is over
@@americanpatriot7233 nope
The precision from both players is beautiful.
Serena at 17 already knew even then she was great even if the rest of the world didnt. Thats confidence for ya
Love watching these old classics, brings back so much memories, both Lindsay & Serena are legends of our sport. It's not that difficult to support both.
Serena is a walking beauty at age 17. She is marvelous
A transgendered DUDE

Yes and not to mention Lindsay is a real female...not a transgender(from transport) competing in the female arena like others. She did extremely well!
@@kruckin A lot of that going on in WTA currently

@@kruckin she is??? Coulda fooled me lol 😆
I appreciate the techniques of Davenport and Serena, glad Serena won against a great player 👏 👍 🙌 I respect
LMAO how quickly was Davenport to get out of there!
She knew had it in 7th game of the 3rd set. She punctuated the moment. Davenport came back hard in the 8th to break Williams but couldn't. That match winner! Serina manufactured the return off her serve. Amazing. Much admiration for both players.
1:42:56 serena hits a two handed forehand lol must of been from when she beat Monica in the previous rounds
she's done that on the return a couple of times in her career
Well no surprise really as Serena and Venus considered Monica Seles a huge influence particularly before Seles' stabbing in 1993.
She thought the serve was going to her backhand and looks like she didn’t have time to change to a forehand grip
if davenport had the athleticism and speed around the court like the williams sisters had, she would have LITERALLY been unbeatable...
at best venus ..... serena is another level
Davenport is a white woman and that is not to say that white women are not fast but then Serena back in 1999 was already a physical phenomenon on the Tennis Court.
In 1999 Serena was already showing some signs of greatness but no one knew for sure what would happen later In life.
This a great match to see the capability of Tennis Professionals.
Even for men this is a great Exhibition.
QUEEN SERENA, QUEEN VENUS, KING RICHARD😄😄😄

Genetically, Serena takes after her mom Oracene while Venus is tall and slim like her dad Richard.
Look at all that space they had to move around, now it’s all filled with cameras
I love those Hyper Carbon rackets. Very playable. Can't even remember what hyper carbon is.
Davenport was my alltime favourite! Such a shame she didn't win more slams!!! The best striker thats even been for females I reckon!!!
Always loved watching Lindsay play, such a beautiful clean ball striker. Not as gifted in the foot speed department, though, so no match for the GOAT.
Do Andre Agassi vs Todd Martin
Serena comeback 2022!!!
On she coming for sure! She have a fight in her I have never seen in any other tennis player no matter what age
If Serena wants it she’ll definitely get it
THE GREATEST!
People forget Lindsey was nasty to the Williams Sisters, and that handshake was shady!
She always referred them as “those girls”. Never referred to them as Venus, Serena but finally gave respect after Serena beat her then Hingis in the final.

Was going to say the same thing! No way to bully Serena LOL she had too big a smile on her face and she did not give a f*#k.
ياريت يكون كل مباريات التنس يتم بثها هنا وشكرا
40:50- Why didn't they have a break after Serena won the 1st set?
Davenport had everything except mobility . Should have won more titles. But at times she just seemed to cave in.
If you subtract the Serena/Venus factor, Lindsay might have had 10. (Slams)
@@swinde Davenport also caved on a couple of big matches she should have won against Henin.
Davenport and Hindu schemed on the William sisters, and Serena took them both out.
Some if yall are pathetic. Serena is g.o.a.t.
Get over it
And yes she will win another one before she retires.

I thought so too because she looks younger in the video.

Davenport lost her mind....double faults and errors galore
Lindsay was running to take care of the grandkids. RGF - resting grandma face.
Serena
The Serena Factor was the difference 1:30:05 ❤
I would not put up with those yells from serena
The best way to do it is by not watching her matches.
Can you do that?
And from Sharapova?
Beautiful plau baby Serena though aponon

Lindsay needs to play dirty just like sarena!!
Is dirty the equivalent of aggressively? Just checking.
Serena actually played better in her younger years.
Interesting handshake. Lindsay firmly pulled in Serena and said something. I can’t make it out. Anybody know? Hopefully Lindsay admonished her for something. Serena is such an ungracious and tacky winner and loser. So is Venus.
Yea she said “my mobility is terrible you should have moved me around more. You would have won the match quicker”.
Well I think they handled themselves well considering how condescending most people were to them at such a young age. It's a miracle they didn't lash out more. Your hate fuels their motivation for continued success.
Your anti Williams hate post is full of BS
Okay Aunt Bitter...got it!
You’re all so sassy!
Lindsay was always a good sport and a very clean ball striker.It was a hard fought battle Serena showed some mental toughness. I do agree about Serena Sportsmanship is not the best .If she lost it would of been a excuse.
And the Swimming world is worried about Lia Thomas...
