Venus isn't young anymore, but she's still amazing on court. Itsn't important she win or not, she still the legend 💪💪💪
She is indeed. But since she is still an active player on tour, ofcourse winning is very important. Why the hell would you train and travel and play constantly if you wont win anyway.
This match was more about restoring Kerbers pride after she got a beat down at the Australian Open and again in Doha by Elise Mertens.
Isn't young but damn she looks good for her age
We don''t have to bring it up everytime Venus lose or wins. If she wins it's because she works hard for it. If she loses then let's give credit to her opponent. To Kerber congratulations well done!
Good solid run Vee. Those first two rounds alone! Take this momentum into Miami!
Venus and Kerber always have great matches. Love this rivalry so much
I'm here for the eighth time watching the highlights. LOVE the outcome.
Typical Williams hater SAD
Jeffrey Spence - that's really SAD and PATHETIC.
Venus is so inspirational because she is the true athletes story.
What happens to an athlete when they age? Every commentator says things like “vintage Venus” or “sensational at her age”..... NO..... Venus may be a different player than we she was younger, but that doesn’t mean her current worth as a player is solely based upon her ability to play the way she always had. She has adapted to new strategy, new strengths.
Athletes age and everyone talks about retirement and when to quit, but athletes often have 1 true love, and that is the game. If Venus didn’t love tennis, she’d retire. She has money, she isn’t playing to sustain herself.
Why is the conversations always about retirement, she will retire when she’s ready. But for right now, she’s still dispatching the highest quality players and is still a force to be reckoned with.
So she’s suppose to retire because she’s 38? Does she get to play longer now in your eyes because she beat Kvitova?
Love you Venus and hope you keep playing until your heart is content and I will continue to enjoy watching your matches

This match was more about restoring Kerbers pride after she got a beat down at the Australian Open and again in Doha by Elise Mertens.
I agree Kerber did have some bad luck with those recent matches. I think Kerber has had to figure out how to turn her more defensively inclined style to offensive. I think Kerber has done a fantastic job of stepping up here game. I think that if Kerber added a more dangerous serve to her game, it would take her to No 1, along with this more aggressive playing style.
We will find out how Kerber truly stacks up when she plays Azarenka and Serena, the two who have always proved to be a mountain to climb for Kerber
@Dylan ATC
Actually Kerber tends to behave like Venus is a crappy unknown player. She wonders why Venus even bothered showing up! Kerber has no issues with Serena, she simply plays her best ever tennis like all the girls do when playing Serena. I don't know how she plays aganist Azarenka.
17sunnyhour
Interesting point, I see. I think it’s because they know Serena will come at them aggressive and pushy. That’s not Venus’ style anymore. Venus is aggressive and she is smart, but because she isn’t wailing on this shots and putting them close to the lines and making them flatter and faster, these other girls know that they can keep up. And that is nothing against Venus, I love her, but there is a safety in knowing your opponent isn’t going to crush balls like Serena, Vika, or even Pliskova.
When Kerber played Collins and was annihilated. Kerber didn’t even get to play, Collins never gave her an opportunity.
Now that Kerber knows that’s not going to happen, I think that’s her comfort zone, she knows she has the consistency, the court movement, and the stamina to grind it out with Venus.
I think she had a positive game plan for this match with Venus and I do think she deserved it, she’s been in good form thus far this tournament.
The reason I brought up Vika and Serena is because they both play with the style that has trumped Kerber.... that being bludgeoning aggression. Serena has more of the ball striking and Vika has more of the court movement and defense, but both play very aggressive and play with lots of pace and power.
I think if Serena and Vika hadn’t played so early, both of them could’ve met each other in the finals (assuming Serena hadn’t fallen ill). Vika in good form is dangerous to ANY player on tour, including Serena.
Good job to Kerber for reaching another semifinal this year, and good job to Venus for playing a smart match despite being injured. Best of luck to both in the next couple of tournaments.
In my humble opinion, this could’ve been a three set match had both been at 100%, but, as Pumba from The Lion King would say, you gotta put your behind in your past.
So, on we go.
Why wasn't Kerber playing this type of tennis against Danielle Collins and then again in Doho against Elise Mertens?
ach nix Possibly, but I think Venus was operating at a much lower capacity from the start. I think if she hadn’t been injured, this match could’ve been much closer. As it was, with her serve and movement hampered, it was still pretty tight.
But still, the match is over, and on we go. What are your thoughts on Kerber vs Bencic?
Is that why she has so many losses against Simona Halep?
@@17sunnyhour what are you refering to?
You were talking about Kerber's chances against Belina. I wondered why Kerber finds her matches against Venus so easy and amusing but never laughs when she has to play Simona Halep.
Venus is all business on court but to see her being funny and almost doing commentary on her self during play was a joy to watch. Love you Venus!
that really was a phenomenal set of tennis in every way!
Originally and until the tiebreak I preferred Williams to win because I like that she is still on tour. But Kerber clearly deserved to win. She played more intelligent and was way better aware of the specific situation and (re)acted extremely good. Williams has the better strokes, but Kerber has the better match intelligence.
@bliss shiva Again I habe seen her and I got the same opinion: in some crucial moments she is much to stereotype and does not use/read the situation.
BRAVO KERBER !! Much LOVE ❤️
kerber was actually that good that Venus had to adjust her tactics. I'm surprised to see Venus moonballing, but an attacking Kerber is actually dangerous too.
Where was this Kerber in Australian when she was getting a beat down by Danielle Collins and then again in Doho by Elise?
@@17sunnyhour ummm this is WTA you know right? Anyone can beat anyone!
@@jayverlance70 not really. Sharapova cant beat serena for some strange reason. Lol. Kidding
@@johndelacruz4899 okay I agree there's definitely one-sided so called "rivalries", AKA consistently losing to the same person 😂
Kerber had more match play then venus obviously victorious, et good coaching team. Venus lacksmatch play, it mention masters indian wells. More match plays helps esp masters is there.
Congratulations Kerber. All the best
Venus did not adjust her approach because Kerber is that good, she adjusted her game because her knee compromised her game. I have watched this woman play for twenty years now, and she is still improving from one tournament to the next, and when you can beat 90% of the professional woman playing tennis today on a bad knee, and a wrapped arm, and the number one player this year. Kvitová is the number one player leading up to the year end championship. Why would Venus see this quarterfinal match as anything other than a victory or aspirational?
I’m hoping with all my heart that these injuries, ESPECIALLY the knee injury, heal. Venus’ groundstrokes don’t seem to be affected by the arm injury, but her serve is. The most important thing at this point is for the knee injury to heal. If Venus’ knee had been healthy, I honestly think that she would have won. She played a great match with two injuries against the world number 8, imagine what she could do when healthy 🙏🏻
Always a pleasure watching Queen V playing! Injury didn't stop her from having fun out there! I wish idiots would get it! Sports is fun! It's a work out either way whether one progresses to the next round or not. Wakanda forever ✊💪🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾💖💜💛nothing but love Venus
Bravo Angie!!!! Well done!!!!
Love Venus forever !! #legend
At 4:25 I like the guy saying WOW 😁. Great match both! Rooting for Angelique. Love her strong game and the fact she is a lefty (like me)
Two great champions. Too bad one of them had to lose.
Im still loving you venus, good job
No longer the a gazelle around the court, Venus; but in getting to 2-2 in the 2nd set she gave us a reminder of those glorious days of phenomenal tennis, especially on the grass of Wimbledon.
Thanks for the memories.👍👏🌹
Venus’ highest serve was 84 mph and she can serve much higher than that, her knee was taped and she was limping and y’all are talking about Kerber being “that good.” This is hysterical. Yeah, let’s give credit to a fully functional player against one who’s injured and severely reduced
Dam Vee, i see you were already off the court by the second set when kerb was up 3-1,all in all your still LEGEND. Congrats kerb :(
@Dontae Merrill
This match was more about restoring Kerbers pride after she got beat down at the Australian Open and again in Doha by Elise Mertens.
Kerber wow
@NASHIT HASAN
Kerber can only wow in front of the William sisters. Venus is her easier target.
Kerber my fav player, love Venus tho
That first point alone it was over for Vee all them moon balls against kerber not a winning strategy but it was impressive to see a diff style of play from her congrats to both next time Queen Vee
Kerber in good form
As she was at the Austrlian Open when she given a beat down by Danielle Collins.
17sunnyhour Come up with some new material. Same effing comment on every site
Great job Kerber
Venus won because of being welcomed back to Indian Wells.
Carebear looking good. 👍🏼🌹
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Venus seemed injured especially in the second set.
Who is the man sitting and cheering on Williams' chair? Is that Venus new coach? He has been there in every single match.
Dawaj Andżelika!! 🇵🇱🍹
Can someone tell who are the 2 commentators?
#TeamAngie all the way
Venus was in her bag
What did Kerber say to the crowd at the end of the first set?!
,,Cicho bądź" it means ,,Shut up"
Venus having fun out there
@6.18 it's rare to see.
Get ready for miami.
Venus should try to play mix doubles with Karlovic))
Good idea:)
No
That old lady can disturb everyone in a tour
I am so disappointed.
@ Jayvon
Angelique Kerber needed this match with Venus after her Australian Open beat down by Danielle Collins and the Elise Mertens beating in Doho.
Jayvon
Why? She’s pushing 40. Give her a break, I’m surprised she’s not out of the top 100
I'm not!
Roger is still doing well. So why can't the women do well? Healthy bodies and not too many boyfriends is also helpful.
If Venus is healthy and rest that knee she could be dangerous floater. God bless you beautiful Queen!🤗Both ladies are class acts!🤗
Wether venus was injured or not a Kerber still had to do the work and hit the winners, I don’t think Poehler realise that it’s almost harder playing against an injured players, you over complicate things and easy shots are now harder because players tend to aim at lines thinking they need to, and also when players are injured they are way more dangerous because they can hit freely and hit the ball with no pressure or expectation, and especially Kerber who is a counter puncher.
What does Kerber say at 5:03 ?
I love Venus but honestly the last grand slam that I think she can contest is wimbeldon. That court favors her game and movement. I still have hope...
Does anyone know the type of tape Venus was wearing on her right knee?
💪🏻go angie
Go kerber
Cicho bądź 😍 , aż szkoda ze przy jej imieniu nie ma polskiej flagi 💔
Sweet, Angie making easy work of the Williams.
Amazing seeing Venus still playing so well even if she lost. Good job Kerber... Venus will be ready next time.
Both these women looked slow and inconsistent. No wonder Bianca easily destroys them both on the tennis courts.
I think Venus lost because of fitness
Kerber
V is way more attractive than S
Unlucky for venus a knee injury
Thats no excuse, if you have an injury then don't join the tournament. Serena Williams also didnt join.
@@BingDwenDwen venus said at the press conference no injury. She is know mentally recovering from the lawsuit. Nearly there
@@BingDwenDwen i agree with you too, venus seems to deny injury when espn. News mentioned she was limping, didnt want to let the fans down
5:00 Shut up :D
What does she say
Venis and erena best mens players in womens tennis...............
Noooooo
Angelique Kerber NEEDED this match with Venus after her beat downs in Australia, Dubai, and in Doha by Elise Mertens.
False, did you actually watch the match? 7-6, 6-3 is not an easy match, it could have easily went 3 sets don’t try to down play Venus game, credit to kerber she played a great match yes but that’s no reason to tear down her opponent in the process
I actually think Kerber wanted to and needed to beat Venus more than Venus wanted to beat Kerber.
Old relic? lol So what name do you have for Roger Federer?
Venus needs to play only when she’s fit. She can barely serve or move. Why is she playing?!
She almost won the first set.
Venus and Serena never ever win one more titles or GS .their time is invalid..
Whos your bet, KERBER vs BENCIC.. that wud be an amazing match, classy KERBER vs compose-brat BENCIC
I take Bencic, $100!
@@chuyenmyviet You lost. Where is the Money.
Is Venus’s coach kerber’s ex coach?
Kerbers ex coach was wim fissette and he is currently working with victoria azarenka
Venus always shines in the beginning rounds. Then it seems like she loses steam midway and loses to a boring pusher like Kerburt
It appears that she has easier opponents in the early rounds but then this happens.
Angie is not a pusher!
@@jonas4620 no she is the best one and my favourite lol
always a joy to see a Williams lose
ahahaha penus lost ahahaha penus lost
Venus is too old for kerber, but all credits to venus. (Reality bites)
@Winter Melon
Too old? Well why didn't Kerber beat up all before her at the Austrlian Open? And in Doho?
We never see comments about the age of Venus when she wins. ONLY when she loses. That makes the age issue an excuse.
Why does the commentator hype everything up so much??
It’s only a forty-year-old and the number 8 seed, it isn’t that amazing
I meant professional women . . .
Kerber will still not win this tournament...
quarter final queen, can she please retire, enough already.
Considering at her age she is still beating players such as Kvitova means she can retire when SHE has decided its time to retire. What’s the difference between her continuing to make it to 4th rounds or quarters and mediocre players who stay ranked 150 in the world and stay there for years. They should retire as well because obviously they can’t win on an elite level.
These athletes play because they love the sport, Venus has enough money, she doesn’t need to prove herself anymore, she plays for the love of tennis.
Understand what you just said, “queen of the quarters”
There are so many younger players who can’t do what she’s doing, who cares if she doesn’t win, that doesn’t prevent her from going 4 matches deep and dispatching quality players.
Respect the game, respect the players
Please. I agree with that guy above me. Shes making it deep into tournaments at her age& illness.
Put some respek on the Williams name. Shes LEGENDARY periodt
LG, I'm not sure why anyone should dignify your insolent comment other than to say you just don't get it. She's an inspiration and if she is only playing just for the joy of the game than that is all that matters. She is still very highly competitive despite having to deal with Sjogren's Syndrome and competitors nearly half her age. She beat Kvitova in the 3rd round, a player who leads the WTA in wins and points accrued, who was a finalist a few months ago at the Australian. Sure, her reduced schedule and perhaps slight loss of power might contribute to her lessened success, but she can still compete with the best of them on any given day. Give her credit. She is gracious in victory and defeat, does not make excuses and inspires many around the world. I suggest you retire from making comments again until you discover a level of maturity that won't embarrass yourself or your family.
@Dylan ATC
Very true, Kerber seems to ONLY wait for the William sisters, namely Venus. She was recentely dispatched by Danielle Collins and Elise Mertens so her power is limited.
Injured players shouldn't b on the court, period... It makes nobody's like Kerber look good!
Well, that was simply rude and unnecessary
@@mariel.580 "Rude n unnecessary"? Perhaps. That is until one watch's Kerber hack away at her "tennis" game...
@@curlymyhero Wait so you're telling me you've won Wimbledon, Australian Open, and you US Open? Yeh I didn't think so....
@@tylerfroelich411 Those were only Junior titles... She didn't win Major's...
Dumb shit...
