wasn't Azarenka a challenge to Serena for those 2 years only? before she had her child she was not reaching that same level.

@@doreenburton2449 is that a yes?

That's how it is.

its public, that is the time when she took cortisteroids as a TUE.

It happened at the French Open as well. Serena was #1, Maria was #2.

@@regulusarcturus but this is a real final ,,,,that match is nothing to watch

The only real competition that Serena has had is herself and Azarenka.

This is why Serena won 23 GC 😂🤣😂!!!

I disagree. Muguruza was a very tough opponent for Serena. So was Kerber.

B M-Y Serena typically takes 3 sets to beat vika while beating Maria in 2 sets

@B M-Y Sharapova only beat Serena 2 times. Sharapova got a walk over because Serena was injured from playing doubles and singles. So you really can't give Sharapova the same credit as actually taking the court against Serena and beating her. Serena may have beaten Sharapova with the injury, because Sharapova got absolutely destroyed by Muguruza in the next match.

No rivalry just brings out the best in each other they have great matches love when they play each other

They are friends tho..

​@nadedjadannevik6272 I don't think they are friends, but just colleagues 😉!

They both wanted it , that's why it was such a great match. Serena is the better player.

not crazy by the little skirts the women often wear. why not shorts or just below the leggings with a fitted top. i'm not lesbian but these women are top athletes, yet dress like 3 yr olds. just sayin' and really a meh subject but it kind bothers me when i see a match.

there were even more exciting times ..1998-2008

@@marcinpapke nope, womens tennis was like amateur level, still developing, only ten players known to pick up all the titles.

@@Hussein_Nur are you crazy?? Compare the names who were in the mix then and their accomplishments with current "elite"and go watch some matches on YT. Back then, during QF of womens Grand Slams people sat in front of the TV with popcorn and coca cola to watch sports spectacles. These days it doesn't happen in WTA, rarely in the finals only and there is no "clash of titans" anymore (WTA). No stars, personalities except for two maybe three names - most of them: veterans. What's your age if I may ask? Your answer is very uninformed so I assume you are very young. If not, then I must say it is just plain stupid.

@@marcinpapke To your question, I only started watching tennis at 2011. And you are merely being opinionated. Some people like so many players stepping up and winning titles, some like yourself prefer a few players winning 50 grandslams, thats predictable to me, not enjoyable at all. Womens tennis right now is equally good. For example a #100 ranked player can challenge a top 20 player. In 2000s, it was 6-0 6-0. Tennis has gone a long way since then. Womens tennis has become better and better.

No these days they just ain’t consistent and can’t keep the ball in watch matches between Kim Clijsters, and Lindsay Davenport The 2005 Wimbledon final The 2002 french open final The 2002 Aussie final These were regular occurrences back then

Gale Everdeen it was called a footfault

Those were Nike colors for this tournament.

funny - i made the same statement - whats with dressing like a pre schooler? these women are top athletes

It's not the first or second, time every match serena played an mary carolla commentate she always had a hate for the 👑 go back and look I think it's 2005 or 2007 Australian open with Maria Sharapova

I scrolled looking for this comment because I thought it was just me. She wasn’t nearly as complimentary of Serena as she was of Victoria. Even on points Serena won she was still praising Azarenka more.
