This was one of my favourite moments of 2012. I've been watching Azarenka for 4-5 years now and always knew she would win a Slam one day. What a player!
Azarenka read Sharapova like a book, you could understand there was nerves for Azarenka that's why she went 2-0 down but after that pure amazing, Serena would have to be on top of her game to beat Azarenka in this sort of match!
Absolutely not, Cibulkova runner up ? Really? I mean come on, she sure is a good player but she hasn't got any charisma nor does Na Li...The semis were the worst we've had for years in the women's draw. One arrogant little pusher wich is Radwanska, another charisma-less (Cibulkova),and Bouchard : great game but her match against Li Na was pure shit.
Okay first of all her name is Li not 'Na'. Calling her Na, she would be offended. I would know because I study Chinese Mandarin. Family names comes first. Anyway, Li no charisma? Did you listen to her speech? It was hilarious and she's such a breath of fresh air. Melbourne love Li! So you're just saying who rather see the same people winning slams i.e Serena? That's pretty boring.
Well tennis is no place for screamers like Sharapova. Well you saying this AO was stupid and considering Serena wins almost everything on the tour is kinda implying that you want Serena to win everything, which is boring.
For a while I wasn't a fan of Azarenka simply b/c she felt like another player who had a good game but inconsistent head (which she was for a while) but I am really excited to see how she progresses through this season. I'm praying for a dominant, worthy number 1 women's player. The WTA needs that to keep it compelling. Look at how much attention the "Big Four" of men's tennis get (Djok, Nadal, Fed, and Murray) and rightfully so b/c they are all tremendously talented
I love watching this match ! It shows everyone who said about Azarneka being a bad player was wrong. In this final she was better than Sharapova in every way !
I was really disappointed in this match for Sharapova, I seriously thought this was gonna be her night and win this tournament. But Azarenka just played too good, I just hope Sharapova wins a couple of tournaments and a grand slam this year. She really does deserve to win.
This was a hilarious final. Not just because of how loud it was, but because I love it when Sharapova loses like this. It doesn't compare to the Olympic final though.
I had never watched this match, until now. And that scoreline is so misleading! It was alot closer than seemed, especially that first set. This was not the same beating Sharapova took against Serena in 2007 Aus Open Final, or in the Olympic Gold Medal match. Those were demolition jobs!
point at 1:28 to 1:35, and 1:38 to 1:46 is why azarenka is on the streak she is on now the return is amazing but she doesnt back off she keeps coming in and finishes at the net, her feet are aggressive and instantly recognizes short balls, something sharapova can learn from because sometimes she hits a great shot and backs up, giving her opponent time to get back into the point
Serena, yes. Azarenka, Sharapova and Radwanska don't even belong in the same conversation as "greatest." I can understand where you're going with this comment, but it's actually quite unrealistic.
Great for her :)...but I still don't see her getting to no.1 Azarenka, Sharapova, and now Serena will be too much for her to get past in the bigger stages, she is gonna have to play every week like she has been doing to even get there.
I was glad victoria won this, I really like her (my favourite women player along with serena) and I feel she deserved the win more then sharapova, but you think sharapova would learn too change her strategy for azarenka, she has lost too her a few times with score lines like this.
i think her run will end in miami this week but i dnt see her losing to kvitova tho. kvitova is too inconsistent at the moment.either kim or serena will beat her if they are 100%. but to say azarenka has no real weapons is false. her strokes are dangerous and do damage. her court positioning is also a weapon she uses that to take time away from her opponents
Vika is mad cocky but she has the game to back it up. I don't like here attitude and demeonor but I do enjoy watching her play minus the squealing/streaking/grunting.
vika was the better player here and was way more consistent but it was a big mistake for sharapova to desert her game plan that got her up 2-0 0-30, she was hitting behind azarenka a lot and was winning those points when she did and after that she didnt do it anymore and then azarenka just took over the baseline game
How can you be glad though? as much as Im not a fan of maria mainly because of her rude fans ive got to say im kinda sorry for her a semi and final last year and now a final at the first gs of the year and not even close , poor girl >.< when serena was out i thought sharapova had it in the bag!
Is there anyone besides me out there who is sick and tired (to say the least) about all this whining about the grunting?? Either get ear plugs or press mute or whatever.... but just move on already.
No, Azarenka is the best player. She has beaten everyone but Serena. Serena is on a different level when she plays well and the top players so u can't take Vika's shine for getting beaten by Serena. The only person who could get even close to beating an inform Serena is older sis Venus. Venus tore her a new one during the 2008 Wimby finals.
Love seeing Sharapova throw away matches with her unforced errors. It just makes me laugh. Credit to Vika though, she stayed focused throughout the whole thing.
Yea that's why Caroline has a 5-2 edge over Radwanska, a slam final, four slam semifinals, 67 weeks at no.1. While Radwanska will never get to no.1, has yet to reach a slam semifinal. Caroline has beaten and pushed Serena Williams to three sets this year. Please have a seat now...you've been dismissed
I don't really care about grunting. The only two people who bother me are Michelle Larcher de Brito and Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez. Michelle's grunt sounds like REALLY loud nails on a chalkboard and I can't even explain Martinez Sanchez, you just have to watch her and you'll understand what I mean about her grunting.
Not the best player in the world as she has been owned twice this year by Serena. There is a difference between paper no 1 and real no 1. A lot of commentators have spoken about this during the US Open.
@kljMN2 i knew i wasnt the only won who thought that way about her she imo is not a person to look up to lol the things she daid abt players in her era was rude and very immature
Bitch please!!! As long as they keep giving Radwanska easy cake walk draws of course she gonna stay number three. And I won't be too pressed lol Serena is gonna pass her, Wozniacki will always be better than Radwanska!!
Some jealousy here. How can you know if Caroline is a bad person or not? And everybody's having problems throughout their careers so relax and get a life

people give azarenka a lot of flak, but you know, she can actually move well, and hit big,
Screamarenka vs. Screamapova?
Lol Shriekarenka vs Shriekapova
i love Azarenka
did anyone else notice that vika didn't grunt at all at 5:32 ?
Although I don't like her personality and attitude, I do like her game (minus the grunting). She's a very consistent and aggressive player.
Chinese empress Li won AO 2014, Aggie and Domi defeated both scream-bashers, best AO ever
Actually almost everyone can agree that this was one of the worst AO ever...No suspens, no charisma....
tennispassion98 No suspense? No charisma? Wow, what were you looking at the past two weeks? AO 2014 was way better than the last few years.
Absolutely not, Cibulkova runner up ? Really? I mean come on, she sure is a good player but she hasn't got any charisma nor does Na Li...The semis were the worst we've had for years in the women's draw.

at 00:54 Sharapova's coach look so proud of Maria, not realizing that she would only win 1 more game afterwards...lmao
finally, you put this up :)

are earplugs allowed to be used by players during matches? so that they won't get distracted by their opponents' screaming
I had never watched this match, until now. And that scoreline is so misleading! It was alot closer than seemed, especially that first set. This was not the same beating Sharapova took against Serena in 2007 Aus Open Final, or in the Olympic Gold Medal match. Those were demolition jobs!

@PDWtennisvidz oh i didn't know that. glad this one isn't blocked
what does she say at 12:33?
I Think WTA is already building their own greatest 4 like in ATP(Djokovic, Federer, Murray and Nadal) with Serena, Azarenka, Sharapova and Radwanska.
I really didn't expect this outcome, especially for its scoreline. I could have been a great match had Maria played better
sounds good. really good girls. cheers, yasir
Sharapova won as many games in this final as she did against serena.... Getting to the final and falling to pieces :///...
Which match against serena are you referring to?
The 07 final... Serena won 6.1.6.2 = 3 games won
And if u count the olympics that was 6.0.6.1
I can see my neighbours complaining in the off chance I manage to get a threesome going.
How did she get there. She had a very easy route.
How does Sharapova go from up 2-0 in the first set to losing this match in a rout??
She'll make it, it's only a matter of time... Btw. congratulations to Agnieszka after victory over Maria "Oh! Oh!" Sharapova ;)
Agreed.
Serena, yes. Azarenka, Sharapova and Radwanska don't even belong in the same conversation as "greatest." I can understand where you're going with this comment, but it's actually quite unrealistic.
Maria played really well. She just had a better opponent.
Great for her :)...but I still don't see her getting to no.1 Azarenka, Sharapova, and now Serena will be too much for her to get past in the bigger stages, she is gonna have to play every week like she has been doing to even get there.
and now she has another nemesis like serena , vika win all 5 hardcourt meetings between them from 2010 to 2012
Maria needed to find her angles. She was feeding the ball too much. Letting Azarenka lull her to sleep.
i am believe they can made better ,,games if they play ,,on ,,days ,,, sun's sky's or rain some time change that ,,,
I was glad victoria won this, I really like her (my favourite women player along with serena) and I feel she deserved the win more then sharapova, but you think sharapova would learn too change her strategy for azarenka, she has lost too her a few times with score lines like this.

Vika is mad cocky but she has the game to back it up. I don't like here attitude and demeonor but I do enjoy watching her play minus the squealing/streaking/grunting.
This is one of the matches where Sharapova's lack of a Plan B really hurt her.
vika was the better player here and was way more consistent but it was a big mistake for sharapova to desert her game plan that got her up 2-0 0-30, she was hitting behind azarenka a lot and was winning those points when she did and after that she didnt do it anymore and then azarenka just took over the baseline game

@BrotherTree1 Is there anything else on EARTH you can say!?
No, Azarenka is the best player. She has beaten everyone but Serena. Serena is on a different level when she plays well and the top players so u can't take Vika's shine for getting beaten by Serena. The only person who could get even close to beating an inform Serena is older sis Venus. Venus tore her a new one during the 2008 Wimby finals.
@corelma64 Oh yes of course she can!
Love seeing Sharapova throw away matches with her unforced errors. It just makes me laugh. Credit to Vika though, she stayed focused throughout the whole thing.
wooooo wooooo
Oh i know. You're right. Vika is the number 1 player but Serena is the best.
@PDWtennisvidz lmao you slayed with that comment
Yea that's why Caroline has a 5-2 edge over Radwanska, a slam final, four slam semifinals, 67 weeks at no.1. While Radwanska will never get to no.1, has yet to reach a slam semifinal. Caroline has beaten and pushed Serena Williams to three sets this year. Please have a seat now...you've been dismissed
Well in Wimbledon Aga got a set from Serena were Vika could not. Still Vika is better.
im saying that Azarenka is the "best player" because she is the number 1...but she's not the better player between her and serena...that's a given.
@wozniacki15 one* not won
VIKA: THE CHAMPION
Definitely count on Maria to sting Vika at the next offering.
They are so loud to play :D ahaha
Watevaaaa azarenka! OA!
Azarenka herself said Serena is the better player.
Radwanska just reached the Wimbledon final. :L
Sigh. So disappointed in this final. Disappointed that Sharapova lost, but more how she lost. Not a good match.
3:6,0:6, THAT MUST HURTS
Sharapova beats Azarenka 6-4, 6-3. THAT MUST HURTS
The Necrocast Musician Lmao. Are you seriously comparing those scorelines?
The Necrocast Musician Wasn't a Slam final though, was it?
I don't really care about grunting. The only two people who bother me are Michelle Larcher de Brito and Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez. Michelle's grunt sounds like REALLY loud nails on a chalkboard and I can't even explain Martinez Sanchez, you just have to watch her and you'll understand what I mean about her grunting.
It's a new sport.....scream tennis:))
Oh, ok.
There was a very brief image of Margaret Court on this video clip.... she's so sickening...
Not the best player in the world as she has been owned twice this year by Serena. There is a difference between paper no 1 and real no 1. A lot of commentators have spoken about this during the US Open.
Ha, well all you have to do is change the context: win a slam.
lol grunt fail at 06:03
@kljMN2 i knew i wasnt the only won who thought that way about her she imo is not a person to look up to lol the things she daid abt players in her era was rude and very immature
hooo...wooo...auww...huuuh...hahaha
STOP PRETENDING YOU'RE HAVING SEX.
Kind like orgasmic combat. tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OrgasmicCombat
Sharapova is so overrated. Look at how Serena and Vika dismantle her everytime
comment made me "LOL" =p.
Ahhh ok, i see.

Whining vs whining and moaning ... How can you watch this?

Te ljublju Isus, amin! Jesus Christ I love u amen! Isus lupit ipja i Slava Boko/Jesus Christ really loves u amen 'n God Bless:D
Yea that's why Vika has beaten your little Polish princess six times this year, sit yo ass down somewhere

Zamknąć pyski i do garów
This sounds like really bad porn.
Some jealousy here. How can you know if Caroline is a bad person or not? And everybody's having problems throughout their careers so relax and get a life
