For those who like to criticize Serena I ask which current players on tour will have 23 Grand Slam titles, 73 tournament titles , 351 match wins in major tournaments when they are retired. Yes she will turn 39 years old in September and she is still currently ranked # 9 in the world. That is a credit to her skills and endurance. She is still competitive when so many others that are younger have retired. Who in the top ten women will still be on tour in ten years and ranked in the top ten?
None dear, she has nothing to prove and i always respect her decision on court. All these female players use up all their energy in an attempt to beat Serena only to be beaten in the next round. Inconsistency in female tennis is the norm. Love you Serena
Serena is running the risk of cutting a sorry figure in the tennis circuit. She looks like an old athlete who still believes she can compete with younger, stronger players. Why ruin an image that took a lifetime to build? Do you think that Federer would still keep playing if he got beaten by someone ranked as low as Sakkary, struggling to beat a player ranked as her former opponent, Rus?
She has lounge issues, she was a mother with a veeery difficult pregnancy, she has been playing for over 20 years and most tennis players are already retired at her age. She became the best tennis player in history and set the bar even higher for generations to come. And still people sitting comfortably in a couch has the guts to critize her. Wow! What a world!
I see a lot of negative comments about Serena here. Can you imagine how America would regard a Man who had won 23 grand slams over the past 20 years? He would be treated like a god. I dont think Serena gets enough credit for her on court work. Just my observations and opinion.
Boneshaker well, actually we can. He’s Roger Federer, and he’s not even American and American don’t hate him compared to Serena. You know why? Exhibit A - 2009 US Open Exhibit B - 2011 US Open Exhibit C - 2018 US Open
Boneshaker: I don't know about that. 73 WTA trophies and $93 million dollars in prize money seems seems like adequate credit to me. Unless she's just there for the praise.
Lots of people are saying that most girls have finally caught up to Serena’s level. They did not. If you follow Serena from the beginning of her career, she significantly dropped her level ever since having a baby. She’s not the same Serena with an amazing power and mental toughness!
@@tremaine861 The true GOAT has 24, and thats just single titles. She also won 19 women's doubles titles and 21 mixed doubles titles. That's 64 slam titles. Silly Serena nowhere near that level of goatness 😄
I see the haters enjoying them selves but it's all good tho. Yall attack when she down and struggling. She will and continue to be one greatest to ever step foot on a tennis court.❤❤
Serena does not move fast enough anymore and her stamina is also fading. She should lose 20 kg and do hard endurance training, otherwise I cannot see any major titles in her future. She is not getting younger. Her future options: Either tough it out for a last hooray, quit or just keep hanging around for a couple of match wins on a not so ambitious basis for fun.
I used to think that maybe if she lost some weight she would be faster. But she has a certain frame and if she were to lose any kgs she may not be as strong as she is now, it might be the opposite she may grow weaker. If it was just weight she would have lost it already with a nutrition regimen.
Agreed. She is not fit for 2020 tennis. She isn't fit to play in nyc August heat plus humidity. Unfortunately she can't rely on her talent any more so she must compensate with painful endurance training sessions and a focused diet that would lean her out and get her to be able to have longer rally endurance. She was playing to high most of this match and needs to play lower. It's hard to do with the extra weight.
serena is legend but she is gonna be 39 years old in a month. she is still one of the best but younger players that she would have destroyed when she was in her prime are beating her now.
Yes Serena is past her prime but which young players will be playing at her level on the tour when they are her age? Some players have come on tour and retired but she is still playing at a high level.
A young player that can beat serena can go all the way to lift the trophy, but i am always wrong. Inconsistencies in women tennis is the norm. These girl always stepping there pussies cos its SERENA. Sakkari running all the over the court like an Antelope. Serena at her age is still playing like at this high level. I doff my hat.
yes,i like sakkari too but she lost in the next round after beating Serena as they all do. They play their "best" tennis against Serena but can't follow through and win the tournament. It's like they strive to beat Serena and not go for the titles.
Where’s the warning for tanking. Is it because no fans or is that not a thing anymore. Or a fine like tomic would get. She would have had a meltdown if it happened
The commentators are a joke. They said the story is not about Sakkari winning but Serena getting ready for US Open? Yes whatever she will be knocked out easily from R3-R4, there are so many other girls out there in a much better form
Duration is long enough, much better than wta's. English commentary may be personal favorite. Same as other longer highlights, crucial moments in the first 2 sets were skipped over. Pity. Overall that's fine. Thanks for your posting!
@@notsohandytim5090 Sakkari was very sharp & strong enough to compete with Serena, putting enormous pressure on her. Very unusual was Serena failed in materializing crucial point. Then, mystery was her physical condition in the deciding set. She had no choice, all or nothing. That put Sakkari uncomfortable due to the lack of rhythm.... This might make you feel plagued with unforced errors, perhaps.
Ok, it is normal that something like that is happening. She is 39 years of age and a family at home. In the history most tennis players were not the same when they had families and kids at home. This is the way of life. You can't remane the same all the time, you can't be perfect all the time and after the age of 40 there are the smallest chances. Things will never be the same again.
If you watched her post match press conference she said that there wasn't an excuse for her losing that match. Shes not used to playing back to back matches without a day rest.
So now is it fair after she had a baby and men across the world tried to call her a man and it was unfair but clearly all the other women are capable of playing power tennis too.
It’s not the pack that has caught up to Serena. Serena significantly loss her ultimate level. If you follow Serena from the beginning, you know what I mean.
@@geographitti8188 : There are many factors at play here. She no longer has the "fear factor" in her favor, her movement has deteriorated AND the pack has caught up to her in terms of power - look no further than Johanna Konta, who was hitting extremely hard in her match with Victoria Azarenka. This happens in every generation - Evert found herself overpowered by Graf, Graf's power was matched by Seles, Hingis was overpowered by the Williams sisters. It's real. Watch any Serena match from 2015 and compare it to something from today - she was hitting through people and now she's constantly on the run.
For 2 or 3 years, beating Serena is everything but a performance. This Serena isn't the real Serena the whole world knows...she cannot serve like before, she's getting tired more quickly, she obviously has a huge lack of confidence, doesn't move well (slowly) and as result cannot hit the ball early. She's the GOAT no doubt about it, but despite my immense respect and admiration, I'm extremely skeptical on her chance to lift another WTA title ever again. I'd love to be wrong, but I doubt it...:(
@@federicorusso4378 Because Steffi (even though I have a huge respect for the immense champion she was) would have never won 22 GS titles if Monica Seles hadn't been stabbed...Seles had won 8 GS and she was not even 20 years old, so imagine what her career/GS record would have been without the stabbing, even Steffi was losing non stop against her. That's a fact, Williams comes first, and Steffi 2nd, but let's be honest, without that terrible attack, Seles would probably be the GOAT...but we cannot remake history, what happened happened, and we'll never have the answer to this question unfortunately.
Serena Williams should be embarrassed for her lack of effort and lack of professionalism in the 3rd set. Instead of battling through the rough time she was having, she just gave up. Not a good look for someone who a lot of young female tennis players look up to.
kenny gismo Serena is still playing past her prime (38 almost 39 years of age). I’m sure she doesn’t have the stamina and endurance of a 20 something year old.
@@kevbon27 I understand that, BUT, she basically quit in the 3rd set. She is highly paid professional, she should have planned her return to the sport better.
Serena is a great player but she needs to start giving that space to younger stars that are the future of tennis, she had her moment in the past but i dont see her winning any other major .
@@mariovillegas8806: For her situation (age) stepping back is a missed opportunity. I think she is trying to figure out "what can I still do"? The pandemic didn't help a bit.
Playing like this Serena will be lucky to make it to the 3rd round at the USOpen. She is slow & not anticipating anything. She is also hitting rally shots too short and soft
Lmao y’all in these comments acting like Serena is over with. Serena played 6 matches, that were all almost 3 hours in two weeks, plus traveling, and training. Throw in the fact that Serena hasn’t played since January and is just coming back, she’ll be okay. Y’all are dramatic for no reason.
I've said it for the past few years, but if Serena doesn't lose some weight she will not be able to move quickly and it's taking a toll on her endurance. She's exhausted after a first set, it's hard to watch knowing how she use to be able to move around with ease.
Flash to 2070 WTA Cincinnati 1 R 88 year old Serena Williams plays against 17 year old newcomer. How much longer do we have to endure this thing on the WTA tour????
wow..Serena looks super sluggish. She looked she was just hanging on. Sakkari on the other hand looks like she's full of youthful energy and power. I think she's going to demolish Serena tomorrow.
well, Serena is 38... it's a big difference for her still at 38 to stop a full of stamina 25 year older fresh as a lettuce. And Serena is heavy and heavy big, it's remarkable how she manage to reach the end of the match.
She got her ass kicked. She claims she should have won. Really? You were beaten by a better player. You could not even move in the third set. Face it: she beat your ass. There's no whining in tennis, either.
the best player in tennis history ? by number of single grand slam titles Serena is number 2 to Margaret Court. If you add doubles titles Martina Navratilova and Margaret Court are way ahead of Serena. Also it took her 20 years to get to 23 titles.Steffi Graf was the only female tennis player that won the golden slam i.e. all 4 slams + the olympic gold medal in one year twice. Yes Serena is a great champion but not the greatest in history yet.
No one honestly believes that Court is the greatest player of all time. Serena, Steffi and Martina and even Evert are arguably some of the greatest players the game has seen.
If she spent 30-60 days training/eatting with Dominic Tiem she would have shown up a different player. She can't think/talk about 24th grand slam until she leans out.
Thiem doesn't like her, after that incident with his press conference, when Serena couldn't wait for her turn and she asked the press organisers to have her interview immediately. They listened to her, and kicked Thiem out of the room, while he was talking and he was understandably shocked and pissed off.
Katerina Patiniotis it was the Roland Garros organizers that made that mistake and she even told them that was unfair cos she could have gotten the smaller room but the organizer felt she fits the bigger room( which she didn’t demanded) . She ws in a hurry cos her chopper was waiting and she has a dinner to catch up to with Alexis. It wasn’t her fault. Y’all just love drama and making her the bad guy
@@ayoayo7730 It was clearly HER mistake. She lost her match, she was pissed off and wanted to be interviewed immediately and leave, and she told the organisers to be interviewed asap. Thiem won his match and he was already in the room giving his interview. The organisers kicked him out to make way for Serena to have her interview. The rules are that the winners giving their interviews first, and the losers (Serena lost her match) had to wait for her turn. I'm pretty sure she knows these rules but decided to break them, and treat a top 5 tennis player with disrespect and disregard him, acting like an entitled, arrogant diva. Unsportsmanlike behaviour at its very best. "Oh! I'm black...oh! I'm a woman! oh! I'm a mother.." let her piss all over them and treat them all like sh!t just because she's black, a mother and a woman. Enough with her sh!t. Can she be a nice person? I don't think so.
@@ayoayo7730 Stop supporting rude, entitled and arrogant people just because they're black. Aim for excellence, humility, kindness and consideration for others in athletes. Not their skin colour. Skin colour is how you're born, but strive for good things...and not having nasty people like Serena as a role model and keep defending her sh!t just because she's black.
If I was Serena I would retire from tennis so much begin done against her which is totally wrong time and time again abd nothing being done about it every one just sitting back and doing nothing .... The William's sister gave so much to the tennis world
serena claimed she had leg cramps and that she had to handle her own towels thats why she got a warning from the umpire about taking too much time between shots. thats what threw her off she said. legs cramps...ok...towels? HUH? the legs go away first eh...
Hater and clown that’s you. If a different player make those statement you wouldnt have a problem. Obviously, people are going to want to know why. She tells y’all and yall clowns says she lying. If she did say anything y’all would want to know. We know that her opponent is not the better tennis player, so why y’all this hate. You’re a clown
@@tamichyn2635 wow such hate you spew!! I dont hate her! she said in her post play interview that she indeed had leg cramps and she DID say that handling her own towels threw her off! did u not see it? and as any tennis player ages; the legs go away first. are YOU a tennis player? I have played tennis for 30 yrs; so this fact is accurate. No hate anywhere in my post; its all fact.
Lauren Did you not see the countless time throughout the interview we’re she said “THERE IS NO EXCUSE “ of course you did not rather you want to hate and post negative comments about her. Y’all love to spread negativity about her, but can’t react when someone calls you out. She’s been playing for over 30 years and she still have to constantly defend herself. You go rewatch the interviews.
Serena, you need to lose 20 to 30 lbs, I sure like to see you win again. You looked tired at and after the 2nd set. No matter what happens you will always be remembered as a great tennis player.
@Philip Stacey The reason i believe Serena needs to lose around 30 lbs is so that she would be lighter, stronger, have more stamina, and lots of energy. When I see her play I can see that she is having a hard time though she is a fighter and great champion. a raicist is one who thinks to be above others. I am not a racist you see I am color blind.
Guys, calm down. Serena is kinda done, she aint winning another title least of all another Slam unless she gets extremely lucky and all the half-decent players are eliminated from the tournament.

If she spent 30-60 days training/eatting with Dominic Tiem she would have shown up a different player. She can't think/talk about 24th grand slam until she leans out.
Thiem doesn't like her, after that incident with his press conference, when Serena couldn't wait for her turn and she asked the press organisers to have her interview immediately. They listened to her, and kicked Thiem out of the room, while he was talking and he was understandably shocked and pissed off.
Katerina Patiniotis I thought he later stated that he understood the misunderstanding, after Serena reached out to him. I could be wrong though?
Katerina Patiniotis it was the Roland Garros organizers that made that mistake and she even told them that was unfair cos she could have gotten the smaller room but the organizer felt she fits the bigger room( which she didn’t demanded) . She ws in a hurry cos her chopper was waiting and she has a dinner to catch up to with Alexis. It wasn’t her fault. Y’all just love drama and making her the bad guy
@@ayoayo7730 It was clearly HER mistake. She lost her match, she was pissed off and wanted to be interviewed immediately and leave, and she told the organisers to be interviewed asap.
Thiem won his match and he was already in the room giving his interview. The organisers kicked him out to make way for Serena to have her interview. The rules are that the winners giving their interviews first, and the losers (Serena lost her match) had to wait for her turn. I'm pretty sure she knows these rules but decided to break them, and treat a top 5 tennis player with disrespect and disregard him, acting like an entitled, arrogant diva. Unsportsmanlike behaviour at its very best.
"Oh! I'm black...oh! I'm a woman! oh! I'm a mother.." let her piss all over them and treat them all like sh!t just because she's black, a mother and a woman. Enough with her sh!t. Can she be a nice person? I don't think so.
@@ayoayo7730 Stop supporting rude, entitled and arrogant people just because they're black. Aim for excellence, humility, kindness and consideration for others in athletes. Not their skin colour. Skin colour is how you're born, but strive for good things...and not having nasty people like Serena as a role model and keep defending her sh!t just because she's black.
If I was Serena I would retire from tennis so much begin done against her which is totally wrong time and time again abd nothing being done about it every one just sitting back and doing nothing .... The William's sister gave so much to the tennis world
serena claimed she had leg cramps and that she had to handle her own towels thats why she got a warning from the umpire about taking too much time between shots. thats what threw her off she said. legs cramps...ok...towels? HUH? the legs go away first eh...
Hater and clown that’s you. If a different player make those statement you wouldnt have a problem. Obviously, people are going to want to know why. She tells y’all and yall clowns says she lying. If she did say anything y’all would want to know. We know that her opponent is not the better tennis player, so why y’all this hate. You’re a clown
@@tamichyn2635 wow such hate you spew!! I dont hate her! she said in her post play interview that she indeed had leg cramps and she DID say that handling her own towels threw her off! did u not see it? and as any tennis player ages; the legs go away first. are YOU a tennis player? I have played tennis for 30 yrs; so this fact is accurate. No hate anywhere in my post; its all fact.
Lauren Did you not see the countless time throughout the interview we’re she said “THERE IS NO EXCUSE “ of course you did not rather you want to hate and post negative comments about her. Y’all love to spread negativity about her, but can’t react when someone calls you out. She’s been playing for over 30 years and she still have to constantly defend herself. You go rewatch the interviews.
Serena, you need to lose 20 to 30 lbs, I sure like to see you win again. You looked tired at and after the 2nd set. No matter what happens you will always be remembered as a great tennis player.
@Philip Stacey The reason i believe Serena needs to lose around 30 lbs is so that she would be lighter, stronger, have more stamina, and lots of energy. When I see her play I can see that she is having a hard time though she is a fighter and great champion. a raicist is one who thinks to be above others. I am not a racist you see I am color blind.
I like tennis so don't disturb
Tanked the third set😒
It’s time to retire Serina ,🤷🏻♂️ 38 years old already
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Guys, calm down. Serena is kinda done, she aint winning another title least of all another Slam unless she gets extremely lucky and all the half-decent players are eliminated from the tournament.
If Serena had won, she would have boycotted her next match anyway.
You keep saying this in other replies as well! What are you doing?
@@deedee2231 I would hate to have her knock someone out of the tournament and then boycott her next match.
She just ran out of gas. I'm not that much of a Serena fan, but I felt bad watching her suffer like a wounded animal.
Yalll some goofies 😭😭like y’all kno shi about ha
@@meme9756: Well then, share your insight and wisdom with all of us goofies who don't know ---t...y'all.
Yes....she lost! #NOCOACH #NOCHEATING
serena needs to fire her coach and get another one
Why is Serena playing so lazy 🙄 is like crazy glue under her shoes👎🏽
