Vika did not choke during this match. She never dropped her level of play. Watch the match. Serena got her act together 0-4 down in the second. She started hitting harder, moving Vika, and taking the initiative. Her returns became much better. This was not a choke by Vika. This was Serena WINNING the match.

I watched this matched. I asked my daughter to name my granddaughter, who was a twin, Seryna. Spelled different because she was an Angel here for a moment named after a Champion. My Seryna lived 12 days but every time I watch our Champion Serena take the court I have her with me. I love you both

one of the best comebacks in her career!!!

how many times has Serena had to comeback like this in a match to win a grandslam. Thats why shes such an Incredible champion

Serena was just kicking ass and taking names later in the 3rd...this is why she's the greatest of all time. Vika, I tip my hat off to her, always pushes Serena and a champion in her own right.

And they want women to play 5 sets. Serena would never lose... 5 sets is a privilege

Vikia was 100% in control of this match 1 set in the books & up 4 games to 1 in the 2nd set; she fell apart; Serena is so mentally tough; she just kept her focus and played harder....Hail to the up and coming new GOAT...19 slams and counting.

Since 2010 Azarenka has definitely played Serena the best. She's actually won the first set in most of their matches. And served for the match in 3 matches she eventually lost, including in the 2012 US Open final. It's a VERY close rivalry. I just think Azarenka deals with Serena's serve the best!

This two women have always been more classy than Sharapova. No matter what they say.

I remember watching this match and hearing Pat McEnroe say "Here she comes" during the comeback. Vintage Serena.

Serena just took it to another level in the 3rd set. Awesome to watch!!

That's why I consider her the GOAT. And the 2010 AO was probably the most impressive GS she won. She wasn't healthy. She had tough opponents. And here against Azarenka, she was really up against it down a set and 0-4. But, being the champion that she is, she managed to raise her game when it mattered. And she beat a tough rival in the final to retain her title. Mighty impressive, if you ask me.

I really would love to watch this match in it's entirety... Azarenka showed so much promise and potential in this match, and that's why she is a grand slam champion today! Hopefully next year we will see these two play at Melbourne at the top of their games. That would be a sight to behold.

An EPIC Comeback! One for the ages-This ladies and gentlemen is why Serena Jameka Williams is on the Mt Rushmore of Tennis Greats. Amonst The very few true answers of who would you have play a match for your life? - A True Great who is able to raise her level to sublime levels,this match isn't about what Azarenka did to lose after that lead of a set and 4-0 in the second but about the uncommon strength toughness,talent and greatness of a one of a kind, living legend future HOFamer Serena Williams.

Vika didn't lose this match. Down 4-0 in the second Serena just flipped the switch. She kept hitting her way out of trouble until she was in total command. It was like she said to herself, "If I'm gonna go down might as well go down swinging." And she swung herself back into the match and into victory.

This was probably Serena’s toughest draw ever!!!

Serena doesn't just defeat her opponents, she breaks their spirit I'd hate her too, LOL

This is why women's tennis is the best and biggest female sport out there! These two women are like gladiators, they go out there to win the big trophies. They go toe to toe blow for blow till the end! Thats why the WTA players are the best paid Female Athletes in the world and they deserve it! Im a guy i think there should be a (little) more equality between Female and Male Athletes in the money department! Thats why i love tennis, women make as much money as the men on the court! Great example hopefully other sports would follow too in the future!

omg what a sharp picture. I've never seen a video this clear. thank you!!!

serena is an unstoppable force when she plays like this. those aces and returns were just sick.

I can't believe Azarenka lost this match. After that second set, Vika just looked exhausted and Serena picked up her game big time. Thanks for uploading this :-)

Best tennis highlights I've seen in a while! Agreed with comment below- THIS is how you upload highlights to KZfaq! Awesome

I knew Serena had declared war in the second set when she started attacking Azarenka second serve,the moment Serena realises that she is in danger she usually changes her game completely,this is what a champion is made of,if it was Sharapova she could have bn beaten hands down becoz she doesnt have a plan B,this is why am in Serena's camp,there is no player in WTA who can do this not even Venus. Pleople thought Serena was losing even the commentators started saying if Serena loses the next day will be declared a Holiday,never count Serena out,she is a queen of comeback. Azarenka will never defeat Serena with those weak serves in an important stage,she can defeat her when sick or injuired but not healthy Serena. I hope the young generation are learning from Serena especially Sloane Stephens who thinks she is in Serena's leage.What makes Serena special is the fact she hate losing,she Always play smart tennis at important moment ask Justin.

watching her come back from a sure loss as a big Serena fan. thats a great feeling.

Serena's top 3 comeback GS victories (in no particular order): This match, the one vs. Clijsters here in the 2003 SF, andmthe one vs. Petrova here in the 2007 3rd Rd. It's something abiut the Australian Open for her, clearly. An honorable mention goes to her 2008 QF at the US Open against Venus. Saved 10 (yeah 10) set points against herself in that match. #insanity

How many walls have been punched and how many tears have been shed because of Venus & Serena? Lol OMG there was a time when blacks couldn't even get a chance and now....the credits are rolling lol GOD is good

This just proves how you can never think Serena is out of a match

i love how mary jo questioned serena's decision to play singles and doubles there and Serena ends up winning both x)

I remember watching this match live thinking Serena would lose for sure. Shame on me! She turned it on and It proved her greatness. It was incredible to watch. By far one her greatest comebacks.

azarenka's return is like one of the best on the wta tour

Never. EVER. Count out Serena Williams. ❤️

serena was so sharp the first week of this Australian. she gutted out the second week at less than her best like a true champ.

You know Azarenka really respected Serena during the handshake. I think she knew that they both brought out the best of each other in this match.

one of the all-time classic games of Sarena carrier, even she was not feeling good, she was 0-4 in the second set and come back to the game and win the match.

ONE REASON WHY SERENA WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE AZARENKA IS SERVE AND POWER!!

That game in the third set where Serena hit three return winners in a row was just awesome

it's always nice to come back to this match

That final set was scary. At that form nobody can beat her.

oh godness.. she was down 6-4 4-0.. but she's coming back for the winner of this match. wow

It is definitely one of the best tie break I've ever seen.

vika and serena matches are always entertaining

When Serena plays like in this 3rd set it is impossible to stop her. She destinated to win

Hail the QUEEN

9:08 Its those kind of points and rally's the reason why Vika is the only player in the world who can go toe to toe against Serena! Great point!

What an incredible comeback that only our Queen Serena Williams can make possible!!!

That was fun. Forgot about this match.

THIS IS WHAT SERENA IS ABOUT!! Never giving up and being able to up her level when its important..I also remember watching this in disbelief that at 4-0 in the second set, she came back to win the whole thing...only a champion.....cant wait till she comes back next year!!!

I love at 4.10 when the commentator is like 'or Azarenka is going to play Na Li, who would've thought that?' considering both end up AO champions with multiple final appearances.

I LOVE the way Mar Joe has so much confidence in Serena even when she's down, she shut Patrick McEnroe up.

ONE OF HER BEST COMEBACKS

its my 22nd time watching this video and im still amazed by serena

720p is OHHHMYGOODNESS

I remember this match...I was freaking out so bad I had to mute the tv because of course the commentators on espn were already counting her out and I just didnt wanna believe it She finally got in gear and started playing her game and i got to calm down. Most stressful match I've ever seen

Everyone forgets that Serena was injured this whole tournament, but still won both singles and doubles.

that's why she's Serena Williams because she's the best ...and no one will change that even azarenka , sharapova , cljisters, henin......

NOW THIS IS HD!!!! Thanks for the upload!

I couldn't agree more, i am in all of her, u can NEVER COUNT HER OUT

Simply The Best

SERENA knocks the racket out of Victoria hands - 12 : 08...

EPIC SHIT. THIS match is the reason why all Serena/Azarenka encounters since have been Serena domination. Azarenka had 100% belief that she could beat Serena up until this point. Now everytime she plays Serena, she looks like she's going to cry during the match.

I remember turning off the TV when Serena was down 4-6, 0-4 and I was thinking 'no way can she pull this one out.' Oh, me of little faith... LOL... When I checked the score later, I got a huge (pleasant) surprise.

Azarenka was just freezed when Serena hit those amazing winners and aces in final set.

8:45 "If you haven't figured it out yet everyone, never, ever count out Serena Williams." So, what the hell were ya'll just doing in the 1st and 2nd opening set?

All of the Serena antics aside she is one of the best female tennis players in history.

i love me some serena comebacks :)

this what you call truly inspirational and true determination. The word "impossible" would be an understandment to what we just saw. ANYTHING is possible. Never give up. Keep on striving and motivating yourself because things change in an instant.

I think with time she have had developed into a really strong mental player. Starting from last year we've seen her saving lots of match point but unfortunately she wasnt able to close matches that often against top players. This year she totally changed into a different player. I hope she could keep up with her good work because I personally think she has the best potential to be the next great champion after serena.

queen of comebacks

What a comeback! I think Azarenka was shell shocked when Serena suddenly started playing better and hitting winners everywhere.

Serena what a champion, she owns Azarenka 8-1 now in H2H

azarenka is ranked 1 in the world now! YAY!

Dang. This is some serious HD.

i love how serena play

Do you have the full match? I'd love to see it with the commentary!

horrible loss of composure for Azarenka! but then again, what an AMAZING victory by Rena!

The comments they make about Serena are very pathetic.They want Serena to loose but that would not happen so easily. I am tired of the comments and commentators.They never give the respect Serena needs. They were already saying that Azarenka will play against Li Na. The moral for all commentators is to never count out Serena. I am so happy that Serena beat her. Everyone is against the Williams sisters I don't understand this. The actually deserve all the praises and respect. Serena you are a great champion and u will always stay one.

Azarenka was just amazing!

12:15 Look at the hidden agression behind serenas poker face... Just love her game... shear agression and power game... amazing...!!!

@TheKenneth1300 I know! All the while I was telling myself "No way is Serena losing this match... at least not like this" and BAM! She goes into God-mode!! I wish I could relive that night lol

serena makes it looks so easy

BEST BELIEVE I KNOW ,I'M A RENA FAN FIRST BUT I GIVE CREDIT WHERE IT IS DUE ,SHE RETURNS VERY WELL IN GENERAL

the australian's more than anywhere else really like serena

This match almost made me quit watching tennis…I changed the channel when serena was like down 0-4 , then I said later on let me go back and watch the end of the match like a big boy, and she was in a tiebreaker 😅 I never gave up on her again.

Serena reached a gear that Azarenka simply didn't have... what amazing tennis after she went down 6-4 4-0.

This is the reason why I practice.

la WTA sin serena no es nada!!!!

Great match,Serena at her best.

great quality !!!

i like how much it looks like azerenka has respect for serena.. (hand shake)

Any one realize that Serena won this match because of its greater physical force in the decisive points.

I know Aza seems to have "broken out" suddenly but I saw potential in her since she won miami for her first time...if it wasnt for serena meeting her head to head in so many slams she'd probably have at least 2 slams by now :O

third set Serena is invincible!

serena will always be serena. whether she did something unsportsmanship in the history of tennis world. shes one of the great tennis female player! deal with that guys!

I still can't fathom that Serena lost to a player like Makarova 6-2, 6-3 like that in the fourth round! Shocking, really.... I really hope her best days aren't behind her! I want to see at least one more Slam.

I don't know why, but everytime I watch this I just can't stop laughing when Serena smacks those return winners at 11:58 to 12:15. Serena's awesome, and I love how she does that kind of stuff.

Azarenka's awesome at tennis. early 20's and ranked 3rd in the world. Also kinda cute!

I have nothing to add re the tennis, but my god, Vika's choice of sportswear here O_o :-P

I love serena.

Serena Williams is a genius!

I love Serena's rivals with Azarenka and Sharapova but I would love to see Azarenka and Li Na win the other grand slams next year and even Radwanska, Wozniacki and Errani get their first titles. If Marion Bartoli can make an achievement in 2013 then they can also
