The return of Elena at 1:40:13 is unbelievable. Serena's serve is within cm of the centre line at 107mph - surely an ace against any other player. Elena takes a stance quite near the centre, giving up aces out wide so that she can make such returns. She even takes a slight step to right, only just reaches it on the full stretch, and sends a return to the baseline, following up with a winner.

@@bobjacubas6818 It is interesting to wonder what happens in the final with Venus if she wins. Venus usually has a good record vs Dementieva, but Dementieva beat her at the Olympics and had some success vs her, and most of all Venus was badly injured and pretty subpar in the final. I would guess Dementieva would have a pretty good shot.

@richardross4677 3 жыл бұрын

She should have improved her serve earlier in her career. It was much better and improved here but it would up being too little too late. If she had this serve in 2004 I have no doubt she wins the 2004 French and 2004 U.S Open both where she lost in the final. She could have won the French and maybe even the U.S finals even with her 2004 serve without falling apart in both finals through nerves, but even if she still was this nervous and underplayed as she did, with this serve she wins those anyway.

Some say she blew this one on match point sighting she should've done this or should've done that. Well hindsight is a wonderfull thing. I dont think she blew anything, lots to be proud of. Instead of saying she messed up, i say serena stepped up, huge match point save, this is why she is an all time great. Ive never been a massive fan of serena and her dramatics, but credit where credits due.

All tennis experts & former professionals saying back in 2009 she will never win Roland Garros,but she ended her career with 2 trophies & 3 finals in 3 years.
