Azarenka looks ultra-fit.

Can she do it?

I hope that Vika will get a chance to play TB, Vika come on!

by noleisthebest Mon Sep 10, 2012 12:06 am

Fabulous play from both, there HAS to be a tie-break, anything else would not do this match justice!

by noleisthebest Mon Sep 10, 2012 12:09 am

I just don't know how on earth does Serena bomb those serves out like she does!

by laverfan Mon Sep 10, 2012 12:10 am

Vika needs to hold her serve to get to the TB first. Winking

What is really impressive now is Serena's moving....So much faster than when younger.

Yes she seems to have so much time on every shot, and when she gets hold of that poor ball...Azarenka's been able to match her tonight, but Serena's still blasting some phenomenal winners .

That is pity, good night to all

Well done Serena. Applause

Azarenka.

Almost, but not quite.

by noleisthebest Mon Sep 10, 2012 12:19 am

Good job Azarenka's got that AO slam under her belt, otherwise this loss would've killed her.

by Tenez Mon Sep 10, 2012 12:23 am

Sad for Azarenka! I must say that the physical difference is just too big bteween the 2....but Serena was going for risky shots and unlike Nadal, Stosur, or Errani, she uses her physique to create pace and not spin so there is a "talent" dimension in her game which is much less obvious with the other 3 players.

Lovely presentation. Nice to see two such fierce women carry on with such class, esp Azarenka.

by noleisthebest Mon Sep 10, 2012 12:55 am

Well, I really enjoyed that match, what a nice surprise, can't have asked for more, except a tie-break at the end.
Men have a huge mountain to climb to match the fire of women's final, and I have a feeling they will.
good night USO Women's Final - Page 2 583979061

Yes, it was actually a good enjoyable match. Shame about Azarenka though who served for it.

Good night.

Actually, I only saw the second half of the last set and I heard a commentator say Serena is one of the few players who moves better from back to the net than side to side and I agree as this shows more talent than moving side to side as there is some timing needed in a net approach when only legs are needed for side to side movement...
