Serena was very impressive in this tournament. She faced Belinda Bencic in the first round. She's a very dangerous player to face so early. This is her second round match against a player she faced less than 2 years before in the French open final. Lucie Safarova is a very good player. This is what players of this era face, yet people try to belittle their achievements and claim it's a weak era. The top 10 might not be as strong as the early to mid 2000s, but the top 50 is the strongest ever in history. Most players nowadays have 100 miles per hour serve, and are very athletic and strong. They can beat anyone on their day. Serena Williams is the GOAT.

this is my favorite tournament she has played... i know she was with child... but she was serving so well and hitting so clean... moving crisply... just total focus... she has shown spurts of this same form... i think she can get their again... just a little harder at 39 and post difficult child birth...but if there is anyone that can do it... It is Serena Williams

2017 Australian Open, the last Grand Slam title Serena won. Who would of thought. She looked in great form that tournament and the fact she was pregnant. Amazing

I never paid much attention to Safarova before but based on this match, I am a fan. Her slice serve is beautiful and she uses a lot of spin. Hard to read her ball directions.

I miss Lucie on WTA

Safarova played very good but Serena Williams was perfect.

Serena was furious at the reporter at the press conference who said this was a scrappy match

Safarova was a dangerous player to play against that year, but Serena was too tough in the end. On a side note, I wish the commentary was more descriptive than just, "well played!". LOL.

OMG I was literally gonna ask you if you could upload this match on the other video. Thank you so much for all your great effort you put into making these wonderful highlights. This match in particular is underrated and barely anyone talks about it, Serena played really good and served pretty solid here.

This is the one i always want to watch. Finally, Thank you So Much

To think she was pregnant hare🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️ momma played well 💕💃🏾💃🏾

Simply the best !!

Great Match!

I miss Lucie

Who knew this would be her last ever slam win

can the commentator tell me something i don't know

Serena👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️🧿

Imagine thinking this is “scrappy”

safarova and wozniakie both have a good character eventhough she is lost she will hug and kiss to her co player not the same sharapova always snob

I remember this match, we were very close to Scare-Rena showing up had Safarova stayed even with Serena

Great match Serena, congrats 💕💕💕

Are there any players whom Serena can’t quite read their serve???? So intriguing to see Safarova serve open wide!!!!

Safarova was serving lol

N a journalist said Serena played a scrappy match 😢

Did Serena know she was pregnant at the time?
