  • What became the longest women's semi-final in grand slam history, Serena and Elena gave us a match for the ages. Brutal rallies, brilliant ballstriking by both players, this match was truly out of this world!! Serena even made a huge comeback from match point down!
    The Best WTA Match for me!

    Serena's serve is just a work of art and it saved her SO many times in her career. I remember watching this match live - It was so good that I ended up being 10 minutes late to my summer class! It was a true grand slam moment. You could hear a pin drop in the audience because the tension was so high.

    Still amazes me how Serena pulled this off. She was off balance, out of sort and was playing defence this whole match and Demienteva was playing arguably her best match in her career.

    This is how close serena was of loosing this match 5:40. I remember while I was watching this match live, I thought it was long and then the electricity went off in my home. So I was not able to see the hawk eye decision. I continued to sit on the same spot with the same posture for around an hour and was praying for serena. Then the electricity came back and I heard commentators of star sports saying that serena played 60 to 70 percent of her ability in this match and still won. That's when I knew the Queen has won that match. Those were the days!

      I honestly think that this is the match that put the nail in the coffin for her retirement. I think she knew she couldn't play better than this and in losing she knew how difficult it would be to get to that level (or better) again in her career.

I think Stosur could have won the final, but Elena wasn't losing to Fran in the semi without the injury. She was a fighter in her career, I think she retired at age 29/30 because she had played full schedules on tour since 2000, was tired, and wanted the next chapter in her life.

    Well done Tennis TopShots👍 A great match! It's been on my DVR for years. Serena showed her true greatness, Dementieva (who played a great match) Threw EVERYTHING at Serena,and it still wasn't enough. I want to give you all an example of what Great commentary is, I have the ESPN version of this match called by Mary Jo Fernandez and Cliff Drysdale as this dramatic match went on into the 3rd MJF said- "Dementieva must be thinking how much better do I have to play to win this match?(Her words give Serena the absolute credit,she doesn't often get, though deserved for withstanding someone playing an A level game but still losing)CD would repeat what MJF said after that,that is the only example I've heard,of a commentator being truthfully observant during a match and accurate in regards to what they are seeing,this match is a prime example of what Serena has said and what fans of SW have known is 100% true the vast majority of these woman Are Not intimidated by Serena they very often play way over their heads to try(sometimes successfully) to beat her,commentators tennis writers,non fans put forth lazy disengenuious tropes about supposed intimation,fear,them letting Serena beat them,and weak era players. This match and many others depict the absolute falsehood of these anti Serena agenda filled lies. Dementieva served out of her mind, she was known for a weak first and 2nd Serve,with record setting double faults, but served at a whole other level,many players wouldn't have beat her that day but again it shows how deep Serena can,will and does dig and how tough she is. GOAT/ QUEEN 👑/ICON👏👍

      Dementieva wouldn’t have won a Slam in any era because she had too many exploitable weaknesses. Her serve was her Achille’s heal sure, but she was also mentally frail and was not a good strategist. She played cross-court 90% of the time and her BHDTL in particular was quite weak and attackable.
      She maxed out on her potential in the era that she played and I very much doubt she would have won a Slam even now.

    Greatest women’s matches I have ever seen
    2003 Henin vs Capriati US Open
    2005 Venus vs Davenport Wimbledon
    2007 Henin vs Sharapova YEC
    2009 Serena vs Dementieva Wimbledon
    2011 Schiavone vs Kuznetsova AO
    There are still good matches these days but I feel like we don’t have epics like those anymore.

    I think this match broke Elena’s spirit. She was never quite the same player after this. She would a retire a couple years after this.

    Once the ball is in play Dementiva could hang with anyone. Only if she had a serve. I was on pins and needles watching this match.

      It’s not just the serve. Dementieva had little variety, no spin, was extremely predictable with her cross-court patterns and was mentally weak. She had a lot of holes in her game.

    I liked Dementieva a lot... I remember her mother watching... Though she never had a quite good serve among other women Serena is out of comparison of course overall she was playing very nice... At 15.53 Serena runs with left hand like punch and right with the raquet hoding it like a sword very high like she plays on Gladiator... xaxaxa very funny.
