In retrospect, this was a pretty epic and well played match from both sides considering the conditions and it being in two sets.
I enjoyed most of the matches between these two because their defensive and athletic abilities at their best were simply incredible to watch, and I think this might be the match between these two where both were pretty close to their peak levels. Jelena did not hit too many winners, but her defense was at its best here.
Shame that Elena just got so mad at herself and the conditions at the very end, this was probably the best match she played the entire tournament and could have definitely won this with slightly more intelligent and patient play. Other than Suarez, this was probably the easiest grand slam semifinal opponent she ever had. What a waste. Ah well, at least we got lots of nice rallies here.
