This was at 39.....impressive
What a power of these two !! Serena at 39 beating a really good Sabalenka. Serena the GOAT
Saba was just getting started here, her game was still all over the place. 2022 Aryna would have closed this easily. 2023-2024 Aryna would have taken the first and give Serena a bagel in the 2nd.
@@georgemavrides3434it's 40 year old grandma Serena, Calm down lol 🤡
@@georgemavrides3434Ok and let’s compare prime Sabalenka to Prime Serena…Prime Serena wouldn’t even be troubled by Sabalenka at all!
Sabalenka sounds like when you try to turn the volume up on your phone but accidentally make it max and everything sounds distorted
she's got a manly face too.
🥱🤣🤣🤣
@@Kevinsfif that's a manly face what's Serena's 😂
And it's worst now😒
🤣🤣🤣
I understand why Serena was frustrated after the semi-final because against Sabalenka and Halep she played some of the best tennis we've seen from her since returning. I'd love to see a great rivalry develop in the future between Sabalenka, Osaka, Bianca and some of the younger generation.
Bianca won't be nearly as good as Naomi
Nah, he's just a sore loser
That's why tennis is so unforgiving. You have to play your best tennis every single round against some of the best players out there. One bad day at the office and you are out. That's why I find people laughing at players loosing a final so stupid. They have no idea what a monumental effort it is to reach a final in a Grand Slam.
She had to, she's not as fast and if anyone's been playiing close attention, she switched to a slower kick serve at Aussie Open 2017 and it hasnt been much of a weapon as it was since that time.
@@olivermccall9770 ?? She is more talented
You can't beat a LEGEND like Serena Williams ⭐
Well, she was beaten 156 times during her pro career. So despite being indeed a legend, she wasn't invincible, as no player is...
@@SOT233Novak is
@@bombitvcajita Nope. He was beaten by many players. He is still the GOAT though.
If no serena not competing. She at the moment at least 15 grandslam. Power vs power. Eventually serena too strong
Big hitters collide and present to us very entertaining match... miss you Serena williams..
Man, I really thought Serena would lose this match but Serena didn’t think she was going to lose; and she didn’t!
Sabalenka was NEW and Sabalenka ALMOST won❤ Sabalenka is BETTER than Serena Williams❤
@@giffysstiffy8874giffytucklol no
@@giffysstiffy8874giffytuck shut up
@@giffysstiffy8874giffytuck Get real.
Serena is my idol, in teninis. She is a legend and GOAT. Proud of you a Quen of WTA.
It's wild to watch this match back 2 years later and to see how good Aryna was and yet how much she's improved now that she just won Madrid beating Iga in the final.
And how astonishing Serena was at 40 years of age beating a hard hitting player like sabalenka who was 22 years old that time.
she's not improved much. It's just that she doesn't have to play Serena.
@@johnnysunrocket8618 Serena respected Sharapova, don't forget that Maria beat her twice when she was 17 and Serena 23 and one was the Wimbledon final. Sabalenka is more like Safina, she's just very physical and playing ugly tennis.
@@milvao3400tenis feo si como no jajajaja
@@milvao3400exactly cause if Serena was on the tour and took it seriously the tour would be different
Seeing my girl rolling at 39 with the younger generation is amazing. Very proud of her they better recognize who Serena is the ability is still there!
ha, you must not watch tennis. Serena is slow as hell.
@@co9971 you must can’t comprehend… you must be slow as hell!
@@co9971did you watch till end of this video? Serena won.😅
@@ishjain2180Yes and if she had met Serena in her young age there will be no match 😄
Whew I'm feeling the power of this match. Is this baseball??? Just kidding. Love you Serena
This has to be one of the best matches between ferocious hitters the WTA has ever seen. A still green Sabalenka vs an aging Williams. Amazing rallies.
if serena played like this against osaka in the SF she could have possibly won. And also the way she played against halep
Is it okay that Osaka is not Halep? Osaka's punches are much more dangerous than Halep's, sharper and more powerful, this power is a level higher than Halep's. Conclusion, Osaka, with her speed and sharpness of blows, simply cut into the peak since the birth of her daughter Serena Williams
Shame she didn’t play at this level at semis
ikr? its like this serena disappeared in the semis
@@russeluc nah, Serena respects Naomi game too much because at 23 years, Serena remembers when she was dominating Grand Slams hard courts like her. Naomi’s time with Big Sasha changed everything for her.
Caliboyk Yep, Sascha definitely gave away some highly guarded secrets of Serena away. She knows what she was after when she hired Sascha
@@Caliboyk yup he gave away Serena secrets his stupid ass
@@MrCreative242 Serena should have had her past associates sign a non-disclosure agreement to last while she's on tour.
Wow. Serena has to be 39 years old before todays top players can be competitive. When she wanted to play she RARELY lost and if a player defeated her it was a BIG DEAL. I don't anticipate her winning another Major tournament, but I don't care. She has given me many years of enjoyment.
She will definitely win another 2-3 majors. No question.
Agreed
@@misterme9829 No she’s not. Might able to squeeze out one. Sad to say but she should have tried to get the slam record before having her baby.
Did anybody ask you about if you thought she would win another Major? If you can say anything positive without saying something negative then just keep the entire thought to yourself.
@@misterme9829 2-3? How about none? ibut its fine. she should retire gracefully and settle down with her family. The WTA is in great hands with exciting and powerful players like barty and osaka
Serena husband cheering so encouraging
He fucking better he’s the reason it’s taken her so long to reach back to some sort of form! She could’ve won three more slams if she had waited to get pregnant
@@MrCreative242 Exactly. He got a black woman in his arm and wouldn’t stopped f**king everyday every hour. I wish they met in 2018 .
@@ayoayo7730 my point they should’ve waited n now she’s struggling to reach back to dominate form
@@MrCreative242 it's non of ur business, it's their life
@@zulfiqarizzuddin2932 I’m speaking facts! She’s a celebrity it is everyone’s business
This was such an amazing match. Serena had a pretty rough draw
And still managed the semis. Hopefully Wimbledon proves good for her!
So that was a lie 😂😭
@@Liamalaing my heart will never recover from that!
@@wadecombs5218 I'm devastated. But she's playing so well, the US open will be a better chance
And that was another lie
The mental block against Osaka. She’s starting to get nervous at the early stages of tournaments. First the finals, now at semi-finals. Serena needs to just relax and play.
I don’t think it was against Osaka in particular. I mean, Halep gave her one of the worst beatings of her life in a GS final and she wasn’t bothered at all. The issue is as that the top half of the draw was a joke, making the match against Osaka the last real hurdle to the trophy. Serena turns into a nervous mess when she’s close to breaking records, not because she’s bothered by any particular player.
@@DeepSeas.. the top half was really a joke in this tournament. Halep giving a beating to serena doesn’t prove anything since she has been a mess in the past 4 grand slam finals and 2 semi-finals. Halep just peaked early against her
@@amandacerny8145 That's the point he is saying, it has nothing to do with Osaka, its the finals in itself. She has a mental block. She has beaten Osaka in the last tournament she won. Serena can beat any of those girls if she plays them early in tournaments, but when she gets to finals, it's a different story. If it was Brady, I think she would've lost to her too...
@@andressjohnson3678 I don’t think Serena would’ve lost to Brady. Brady played horribly in the AO FINAL
@@amandacerny8145 that's thru, but against a mental block Serena in the finals, she might 🤔of had a chance. Serena needs to get that mental ability back like in the good ole days
Sabalenka definitely played better here than Osaka did against Serena. Serena unfortunately showed up at 10% potential against Osaka. That's okay, because Serena still GAINED lots of points from this AO, improving from a 3rd round loss in 2020 to a SF appearance in 2021. She will re-enter the Top 10 and she needs to focus on the fact that at her elite level she is still IMPROVING! Hence the frauds who say she "needs to retire" have no idea what it looks like to put in work and IMPROVE, even leaps and bounds above other WTA players 10+ years younger than her. Be proud of yourself Serena and keep going!
10% against Osaka LMAO
Found the Serena apologist
@@imlazy77 two times the UNFORCED errors as winners and 40% first serves in = 10% her potential. End of story. When Serena played about 60% her potential in 2019, she beat Osaka in straights
@@Me021671 I stated facts lol
@@bryanmartin5901 10% potential against Osaka! 😂😂😂
Power vs Power!!! Whew, what a match!
When Serena is “Serena” she is not beatable. A true legend of the sport.
WRONG!!!🖕🖕😎 Sabalenka was NEW and she still came close to winning❤ When Sabalenka is Sabalenka she is BETTER than Serena Williams❤😎🙂
@@giffysstiffy8874giffytuck Are you really serious with your comment or are you simply trolling?
@@giffysstiffy8874giffytuck Easily ...with Saba's matured game today, it wouldn't even be close. Same goes with Rybakina. Serena was lucky to play mostly with ball pushers for the previous decade, overpowering them with those steroid muscles and racking up titles. The whole GOAT argument is silly really...the only conversation to be had is in men's tour where the top3 players in history were going at it for the better part of 15 years!
🤣🤣🤣
She’s loud as Sharapova, but it’s just a different loud sound! And the commentator is telling us who she wants to see as the winner here, but I’m happy for Serena winning!
Sharapova had an utterly annoying high pitch.
🤣🤣
I’m glad someone had caught that as well…
I noticed it they were sitting on pins and needles...Sabalenka played well but she's playing Serena that's the difference...I like Sabalenka I'am glad she her first major the AO.
How did you guys exclude the main highlight point of the entire match ??? First set game score 4-5 , 15-0 was the best point of the match and you guys seriously excluded the main part ???
I know right!!!!
If she played like this against Osaka, she would’ve won. Or would’ve been way closer.
Agreed. Naomi also did not play her best game and started out slow. That's just the way it is. Naomi played a little better and took home the match.
@@fedvvvv yeah and Serena sadly couldn’t take advantage of naomi’s slow and nervous moments.
she would have won ?? Always so fucking disrespectful towards osaka. I mean why her fans have to always find excuses about when she loses to naomi. She is 3-1 vs serena the only player that has ever achieved that. And osaka is simply not sabalenka, osaka didnt let serena play her game and all the credits go to her
@@notis6107 if Osaka played Serena before she got pregnant, Serena would have punished Osaka. And no one is hatin against Osaka. The fact is that Serena clearly wasn’t playing as well as she did against sabalenka.
@@jordanwilliams1740 1) I dont even want to respond to that post pregnancy hypothetical match between the 2 because it is simply idiotic. There is not ifs in sports and you dont know who would win, u are just a fanboy so you are obviously picking serena, but in reality it could go either way. 2)i never said you are hating, i said it is disrespectful to keep finding excuses so to make naomis win lesser. 3) Naomi just didnt let serena play her game because she is also dominant in court, she is not halep 4) Osaka was the favourite before she won the match and she was also the favourite to win AO (which she did) so people actually could see that she was the best player at the moment because literally any prediction from every tennis analyst was favouring osaka. So its not that something extraordinary happened and serena lost, she was supposed to lose against naomi 5) And i am saying again you cant say every time that serena loses that it was on her, It may makes u feel better but that has nothing to do with reality and it will also not win her the 24 major. You need to face reality, serena isnt the best right now (she used to be and she is probably the best player of all time) but there are players like bianca or naomi who simply outclass her at the moment
Wow good playing
legendry stuff
@@jaftamhlongo4584 Yes
Perfect example of experience versus skilled fresh legs. Great games!
The commentators be wanting Serena to lose so bad it's so ridiculous 😂
At 39 still the GOAT
ABSOLUTELY! None of todays players will be in the top 10, by age 35. But the GOAT is still in the top ten and, beating players 15 years younger.
Always will be.
Pure power between these two.
Full match, please!
Serena's killer instinct is so missed. She was an absolute warrior on the court.
Sabalenka played really well against one of the greatest in the game. It is just bad luck she lost but she has a very strong powerful aggressive game and she is a very promising and potential youngster to win a couple of GS and possibly dominate women's tennis along with Osaka, Halep, Andreescu and Barty.
And Garbiñe Muguruza.
if she had met Serena in her young age there will be no match 😄
Serena is always the legend
Ugh, I want to be a sabalenka fan SO badly, but I just really wish she was a more consistent player. I LOVE Serena, so cannot wait to find someone new to root for in a few years when she retires. Hopefully Sabalenka can get it by then!
Second final in a row - looks like Arina makes your wishes come true.
@@ediccartman7252 LOVE
Serena is the boat of all time.
Serena elevated the game. Aryna really climbing up fast here. The 2024 Aryna is even better. Shame they never met in their primes.
Yeah same thought here
Now that Sabalenka is even better, she is still no match to a prime Serena in her late 20s and early 30s. No current athlete can get to that level.
Sabalenka….stop shouting…you can’t beat the very legend 😍
Sabalenka, wowww... such a fierce and strong player
Nah! She's what we call a waste of power tbh.
@@comosedice6104 you have no idea what you’re talking about man.... keep the snarky comments at bay until you achieve something yourself
@@jameshampton5659 sure. Mr achieved everything in life.
Dope
Being a Serena fan for most of her amazing carrier, it was difficult to watch her struggle to get that 24 grand slam. In my opinion, Serena beat Serena most of those matches where she almost got it. This match is Serena at what she does best, just pure, raw, gutsy Serena. Her determination and "Im not going down without a figh" attitude is what makes her the greatest.
Sabalenka is trying so hard to be like Serena when shes not AND SHE WILL NEVER BE. PERIOD!
EXACTLY, There is only one Serena queen of the courts!
No one can touch Serena when she's playing her best tennis!! ☝️
Sabalenka was really trying to intimidate Serena with all her shrieking. So glad she got beat!
Paul: I think it was pretty equal volume on both sides of the net.
@@notsohandytim5090 Not even close! What match were you watching?
@@safee4540: Tom Brady vs Aaron Rogers.
@@notsohandytim5090 How about Athea Gibson versus Sharapova!?
@@safee4540: Ha Ha. Actually didn't see this entire match. On second look though, looks like Sabalenka definitely won out on volume, a competition that Serena usually wins by a large margin.
I just hate Sabalenka screaming but she’s a good player!!
Annouying
Same, love her style of play but the grunts are far too loud imo.
Awesome match Serena ! Ya knocked out a top seeded player first round! She played very well. BUT got the Hardest damn draw!!!!!! No one can question the Reign of Serena. Far from over. Next time someone must get 23 Grand Slam Titles.
The Queen!!!
Sablanka was trying to pressurised serena by screaming...but that helped serena i guess...nywys queen know how to perform under pressure
I think I speak for tennis fans everywhere when I say, “Great March ladies. . . And SHUT UP Sabalenka!“
Two years later...Sabelenka now holds the trophy
Serena is champion🔥🔥🔥
sabalenka needs a chill pill
Funny they won't show her throwing a temper tantrum, prolly bc it wasn't Serena.
Prolly bc she isn't a mother?
Serena was so unlucky not to come up with at least 2 win out of those 4 finals
Serena the best ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
And now Sabalenka has 2 ausstralian open titles
Wow, after two years and the retirement of the legend Serena Williams, I return to this video. Serena in her last year before retirement defeats the young Sabalenka, who has become a source of fear for all current tennis players. But look at Serena, what a talented queen she is. I believe if Sabalenka had faced Serena from ten years before this video, she might not have been able to win a single set. Have we lost a lot???
I'm sorry all the screaming is over the top! It's not necessary and detracts from the beauty of game
I agree!! Sabalenka would probably win more if she would focus more on her game and focus less on how loud she can scream!
I think it’s entertaining. Sabalenka screaming “COMEEEE AHHH NNN” at the top of her lungs 😂
Одна из лучших игр Серены
Why were there so many empty seats? Serena and Sabalenka are 2 of the most famous players on WTA at that time.
Dude that was during COVID
how easily we forget about the pandemic lol @@user-gh3cz7xx2o
The copy vs the original. Aryna must have cherished this opportunity. She needs to work on her moves. Power alone did not make Serena.
Funny how yall didnt show the point where Sabalenka threw a fit on court. If Serena did what she did, it would be a different story.
I'm a Serena fan but she's literally done shit like that several times lol
Where is the outrage and penalty for Sabalenka fit on court? It it bcuz she is a nobody player?, or bcuz she's playing against Serena so she can be disrespectful towards her opponent? Or is it bcuz she's a "KAREN"? Or bcuz a foreigner?
Exactly. The double standards are ENDLESS.
You remember when Serena threatened to kill a line judge? She's really nice.
@@matty2time remember when there was no camera angle that showed a foot fault and the Asian line judge was just a racist trying to stir up trouble? Remember when Serena had emotional outbursts in less than 0.1% of ALL her professional matches?
9:48 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣DAHHHHHHHHHHHH
This is Serena at 39, can not imagine how strong she was at 19.
Their games are very similar.
It happens the older we get that we can produce such great tennis and then lose energy in the final rounds. That's what happened in Serena's semis against Osaka. She had a very tough draw and towards the end lost energy.
The commentators makes a big deal when sabelenka gets 15 lousy points but when serena gets a point crickets. Silence. I've noticed this a lot.
Would love to see vintage Venus up against Sabalenka
Sabalenka has the most unfortunate face on the WTA. She always looks pissed off and her handshake is legendary.
English please
Omg lmao
Aryna:aaaaa Serena:aaaaa 😂😂
sabalenka reminds me of Mauresmo!
Serena the best ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
There's a major difference between being fired up and just being annoying as hell. And sabalika is the most annoying person on the entire WTA. There's not too many people I'm excited to see lose but when she loses I'm always like she should have just stop screaming. Serena is GOAT
I’m sorry lmao this made me laugh so hard 😭🤚🏼
@@lilnickydabaddest3451 you too 😂🤣😃😄 comonnnnnnnm
Sabelenka thought she had this😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣with all her ""come on'.
Frost, I agree 100%. The old Eastern block nations has the loudest players. The top 3 are: Sabalika, Aszeranka, and Screamapova. I can take Aszeranka, because though she’s loud, she doesn’t scream. But Sabalika and Sharapova are just too loud. Now that Screama is gone, Sabalika has replaced her. If someone was killing her, nobody would call 911, because they‘ll think she’s just practicing tennis.
@Sean Not even close!
serene was always the best
9:37
It’s funny to me how most of Serena’s great points were skipped over!! The hate is real!!! Sad at this day and age and all Serena has accomplished that the editing is still so biased smh!!
Cameramen kept changing angles. 😂
Sabalenka lembra o jeito da sharapova de jogar, serena venceria outros jogos contra ela se acontecessem
I watch Aryna Sabalenka here
That third set was a screaming match.
🤣🤣
Fr
So at least we know what happens, when a version of Williams on 80 percent strength plays against a version of Sabalenka on 80 percent strength 🙂
Did she really need to extend her grunt even though the ball was clearly on Serena's side already at 9:07 to 9:09? Her grunt was delayed. Not sure if this was purposeful or...her normal
Loo
Lol
3:54 "Another serve from Venus Williams?" Is the reporter drunk?
4:31
If Aryna had met Serena in her young age there will be no match 😄
No need to write that everywhere bro. Also I disagree ... Sabalenka improved a lot and still can. Let’s see her in her prime and judge again. I doubt Williams can run that fast to return Sabalenkas winners...
@@simihartseil6593You completely missed what the person was stating. Serena younger years she would have destroyed Sablelinka
@@simihartseil6593 The point is that Sabalenka wouldn't match younger Serena (late 20s early 30s). No current WTA athlete (or even retired) can match Serena when she fires in all cylinders. Nobody!!
Every player should have right to play under her/his country's flag. ATP do not mix sport with politics. Wars are run by politicians not sportsmen/sportswomen. Why during the invasion of Iraq, 20 year bombing of Afghanistan not to mention the genocidal Vietnam war US, Australian UK... athletes were allowed to compete under their national flag ? *** All wars are equal, but some wars are more equal than others.
For a match that Serena won, why is this highlight mainly including Sabalenka points? And more over, points in games she ends up losing? Weird.
2:10
Serena played even when she didn't have the same legs anymore. She is the GOAT, between men and women!!!
The screams of the obnoxious sabalenka did not help her win the game
Wow Sabalenka is now a Australian Open champion herself winning it in 2023
I cannot stand Sabalenka. There is something about her that is such a turn off to me. Glad Serena won this match.
serena is not afraid of sabalenka but she is very afraid of naomi
...NO BUSINESS RETIRING YET I'M LIVID!! NONE of the greats were playing this well when they left...Graf was close.
Id say Serena had more to offer had she not slipped on the grass that year. That injury was brutal and took her out.
@@spillomina I agree.
@@spillomina but still...good enough to win.
Sabalenka's on court antics remind me of a clown.
The Game : Ahhhhh....Ahhhhhhhh.....Ahjhjjjjj
Aryan Best Super stars world tennis woman!!!!!!!
I know one thing....🤣🤣🤣don't ever pissed the GOAT off. Girl who you screaming at🤣😂. Now you gotta go in time out!!!..but fr good game!!! #SerenaDaGreatest
What…no cheering - not a word from the commentators? Ehh? 😊👑🎾
look at that
Sabalenka has always been a fighter. She was anything but intimidated by Serena
Australian open should be ashamed of the highlights of the 3rd set. Shameful!!
That was an intense grunting match. I’m actually not sure who’s more butch out of these two.
Si sabalenka hubiera enfrentado a una Serena del 2010 a 2018 otra cosa hubiera sido, sets corridos quizá
But prime sabalenka 2024 would make it very hard for even a williams 😂
