- Serena Williams demonstrates why she is one of the best tennis players of all time. Her ability to come back from deep holes is unparalleled. More than just her technical skills, power, speed and athleticism, Serena has a mental fortitude that escapes most players!
Serena always says in interviews that "Tennis is a mental game. 30% is physical and the rest is mental".... And she keeps proving that......
Another great match she played recently was in Wimbledon 2009 semifinal against Dementieva....
Love you Serena.............
In my opinion the 1999-2004 era was the height of WTA competition. Serena, Venus, Davenport, Capriati, Henin, Hingis, and Cljisters were all fierce. This contemporary era of players don't match.
Ramon Suarez throw in Mauresmo and Mary Pearce when she was on form
And Graf
Watching these old clips I still get nervous and excited even though I know she won..
What a player! Wow, Serena is not only the QUEEN of comeback, I believe she is the QUEEN OF TENNIS, period.
@Illya Kuryakin Whatever no one even remembers her anymore. No one can ever come back in a grandslam the way Serena can. Especially at the 2015 French open... 5 out of 7 three set matches. So many aussie open comebacks and anywhere else. Serena is this undisputed Queen who actually had more competition to deal with from 1999-until present.
@Illya Kuryakin And what's with the hate speech of not having the guts to complete the calender slam? She's won 4 in a row TWICE! And Steffi didn't have the guts to continue playing due to the competition getting stronger. Now what
@Illya Kuryakin Who cares if it was a calendar year it's the same amount of months in between and Serena did it twice. And of course a Steffi fan makes it seen like players arent shit these days. Serena has beaten all of the players you've mentioned and you have to go out there and fight. How tf are you gonna say Serena didn't have the guts? So fuck Vinci we're just gonna forget there's another player on side the net? Serena passed Steffi and that's what matters. Steffi's ers was weak af until the mid 90s and you know it
@Illya Kuryakin You can lol alllllll you want. So now you your gonna attack most memorable comeback in a slam? Fine Serena had the flu the whole time that tournament. Watching live feeds on the internet you get to watch the players during changer overs and in a few matches Serena was coughing up her guts and out of it at times. And you still disrespect the players of today. Why even watch the game if you think there's no competition? You keep mentioning these old players who wouldn't have the stamina to fight some of these girls.
Let alone a summer 2012, clay court 2013 or slam 2015 Serena. Monica Sales would have 20 slams if she wasn't derailed. Not Steffi. She is awesome I give credit but no one's buying that argument anymore except Steffi fans and maybe Mary Carillos jealous ass. Serena is one of a kind to have multiple blood clots threaten her life and have 4 phases in her career where it looked like she was done. Only now to still be hanging touch in her mid 30s with a child. You are right it aint close at all
@Illya Kuryakin What do you mean Serena didn't win that much!? Early 2000s her game was still developing and she won a handfulf of slams before 07! And yes soooo many caliber players in that era so of course it's a little harder.
And you mention Wozniacki like she is formidable. Azarenka was damn good and there were others who stepped up or tried to. Still the women of today deserve credit
Serena has the ❤ of a lion. Great comback Wow!
I hate when people say that neither Williams sister is gracious. Clearly Serena and Justine Henin had a serious rivalry but she seemed very gracious and congratulatory at the end of their matches. I've NEVER seen Serena NOT shake the opponent's hand and at least say "good game" when she loses.
But its very true.
@@rorybrennan360 okay.
@@rorybrennan360 ok Karen
Serena loses a set 0-6 💔
Then comes back to ruin her opponent's life 😄😄😄😄😄
🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁
I'm not sure anyone cares what you think about her body since we are here to watch one of the most amazing tennis players of all time.
Justine was able to hang with Serena after a long lay-off from injury. When Serena had knee surgery, that's when Justine won all her slams.
serena is clearly the best in this generation! though i am more of a masha fan, i can't deny she is amazing and no one can stop her when she plays this level
She truly IS Queen of the comeback. I heard a commenter say that of matches where she loses the first set she goes on to win 45% of them. That is the highest of anyone on tour! That is an incredible percentage!
A lot of people are hard on Lindsay b/c of her lack of mental toughness. I agree to some extent. You also have to credit Serena for her unrelenting competitiveness. She just never wants to lose.
She would add another amazing comeback to the list as she came from 6-4, 4-0 down against Azarenka in the Australian Open on her way to yet another Australian Open title. And then she would pull off her biggest comeback of all - from a life-threatening injury to the Wimbledon title! And the Gold Medal!
Can't see the ball 95% of the time...🤣
360p 🤮
these file of come back from Serena Williams, no comparison to any body else in Tennis history, no matter what they say. She's really a Great champion.
@opelokab : Regarding that 2004 match, Jennifer seemed to know that Serena had gotten really screwed over with those calls, but didn't seem to care at all... typical classless Capriati.
loved watching the match with davenport. its almost like they are playing with an invisible ball!
No 8 Serena can whitewash No 1 Justin 6-2 6-0, while No 1 Justin lost the match even when she bagled Serena and had two consecutive championship points, I think that's why there is a huge huge gap between Justine and Serena and why we say Serena is unbeatable at her peak, not to mention the four of all the six wins Justine had over Serena happened on Clay, including a very controversial even cheating one at 2003 French Open semifinal.
zuo chang Beautiful comment. I couldn't have said it any better myself. The Serena haters &/or so-called Justine Henin (& some Steffi Graf) fans who constantly want to disrespect Serena Williams' accomplishments & bring up Henin's 3 Slam wins over Serena in 2007 while overlooking the fact that Serena Williams was still coming back from her 2006 injuries & was even reinjured during her match vs Daniela Hantchucova at the 2007 Wimbledon 4th round. Serena shouldn't have continued playing but she did in the next round vs Justine Henin in the Wimbledon quarterfinals. Why did she? Because it's Wimbledon & even though Serena basically played one handed, she still took their match to 3 sets. Unfortunately, Serena lost & she didn't play another match until the US Open because she reinjured herself at Wimbledon & she still wasn't 100% fit when she played the Open. So, of course Serena wasn't ready & at her best during the 2007 Grand Slams (except the 2007 Aussie Open, which she won & surprised everyone) but it also doesn't mean Justine Henin was a better player than Serena Williams during their rivalry & their careers. But some how a few Justine Henin fans seem to think she was a better player than Serena Williams. At least you & I & many other tennis fans know what time it is.
zuo chang And it's funny & ironic that you mentioned Serena Williams beat Justine Henin 6-2, 6-0 at this Miami event the next year, 2008, when Serena was much closer to being 100% fit than she was during the prior year. But Serena Williams was still able to win the Miami event & beat Justine Henin in both 2007 & 2008.
When Henin was at her peak In 2003-07 Serena was only second fiddle.
@@carrerau7138 that's not peak Serena she was only around low rank and even slipped to 81 rank at that period. Even so Serena could win GS titles can Henin did that? And It's no surprise peak rank Henin beat low rank Serena because many Peak No 1 did that. If low rank Henin could rout top rank Peak Serena by bagles like Serena did in 2008. If Henin could come back and win 23 GS titles Please then brag about who is second fiddle. After all all had low tide in career. The question is can you come back ?
@@maxxie0722 Between 2003 and 2007 Henin
1) was 5-2 win/loss against Serena and
2) 7-4 in slam titles.
Juju first fiddle, Serena second fiddle.
I think nobody else was able to get back from 6-0 5-4 40-30 vs Henin. Only one person did it in the history: she's Serena Williams
You Serena haters continue to stifle your conscience as to whether or not she's the greatest. You all have been suffering from insomnia indigestion and migraine headaches because of your reluctance to admit that she's the greatest. If she were caucasian...If she's a man she's the greatest, if she and Venus are brothers she's the greatest. I've never heard she's tested positive for drugs, like others that we know, she's the greatest, she cuss out umpires, caucasians before her and after did too, she's the greatest..her record speak for itself. The one thing that Serena is guilty of is that she's African and even in that respect she's the greatest. Greatest. Great greater Greatest. She's the absolute best human that has happened to tennis.
You sound like a racist.
09:30 WOW! Great shot! That was the only time I understood what the commentator said!
LOL! "Let the comeback begin" :D :D :D
this goes to show that you can NEVER count serena out.... u have to respect her will and drive.....
Whe Serena decides to play, she is unstopable.
I honestly believe Serena use to get behind on purpose to try to humiliate her opponent lol
And in more than two thirds of the tournaments she played that backfired at least ince.
First time seeing Serena get bageled 😮
I'll give you one opportunity to actually justify this racist statement and clarify yourself by presenting some evidence or facts to back up your position before I delete this. What exactly has Serena gotten away with (specific examples) because she is black and what is your proof of this? Go!
lindsay was such a good sport to give serena a hug afterward
Davenport's joy against Serena in AO final is short lived
Funny how as Serena pulled away in the third set Mary Carillo started sounding all whiny.... lol...
Amazing
Amazing player!
Ths is why I believe she was robbed of the 2009 US Open. I can still take away something from Kim's win. That was a terrible call on someone who is such a fighter. It was stolen from her like 2004 US Open with amazing bad calls in one set to hand match to Capriati
It never will change, however I admire their fight
That biggest come back will be Always that Clijsters match in the semis of the AO.
@lostintranslation901 I disagree as well Davenport did meltdown BUT she also got tight I think because she knew Serena was capable of making a comeback. Davenport knows that Serena is a fighter.
Yup. That's what bothers me most I think. Capriati knew those were terrible calls, she just wanted to win. What I really want to know is, how could the linesman make so many bad calls like that. And they were ALL against Serena. Just doesn't add up.
One of the most crucial mistakes was a ball that was 3 inches inside the court and called in by the lines person. But over ruled by Mariana Alves the umpire.
@TheFever77 Me too. I think that's because Lindsay is the last great American female player (besides the sisters). The US should embrace the Williams' because they won't be around much longer, and I don't see anyone taking their place.
@kljMN2 I've never seen Federer show any arrogance. Maybe you saw a side of him I haven't.
Don't give her a 3rd set...…..wow
@GOATrena I know, it was the weirdest thing. No one there seemed to notice except Davenport and us of course lol. But I still think Serena would have won anyway. Davenport was starting to gas out and Serena was slowly finding her form.
Why is that Davenport - Serena match a come back? Okay Lindsay won the first but in the 2nd it wasn't like she was up or something.A come back to me is, that if you're in a losing position and then turning it the otherway around.
John Haakmat If you watch the full match, in the second set Lindsay was still dominating until 2-2 0-40 on Serena’s serve in the second set. She proceeded to lose those break points and 3 more in the same game. Somehow her spirit wasn’t yet in tatters yet though, so the next game she went up 40-0 on serve and..... lost serve. From there she won one game further and handed Serena the match, and pouted until the last 3 games of the match when it was far too late to reverse the comeback or save face with 1 game. When you give up, you don’t decide how you lose and that’s what I think people are hard on Lindsay for in this match. Even watch her husband at 3:27, he’s trying to plead with her to not fold but she was just determined to do so.
@@lamarlee3472 I know but come backs to me are matches like Serena against Clijsters in 1999, when Clijsters was 5-3 in the 3rd serving for the match just as the semis in AO, when Serena was 5-1 down in the third or that match against Azarenka, winning the firts and up 4-0 in the second,to me thats the real come backs to me but i get you.
@citygirl5705 : Roger Federer, humble???? Right! He frequently makes rude comments against Andy Murray... for no reason! Roger doesn't know the meaning of humble.
no because no one is better!! when she loses it because she's not at her best, no one is better right now. maybe along the way she will be beaten by a player who's better but i just don't see that happening anytime soon
Justina was the only real threat to Serena's legacy. She could dominate her even when she was at the top of her game.
No one beats Serena when she is at the top of her game, nevermind dominate. She played like shit in this match but fought hard enough to win.
Justine bested Serena many times. Serena should be happy that she went cray cray and retired.
Living Vice Yeah you are smoking something. She never beat serena at her peak. Except on clay. In 2007 serena really didnt have her head in the game and she still struggled to beat an injured serena (hitting 1 handed backhands at wimbledon. And Henin would get her ass handed to her if she played the serena of 2012-2014
You people are smoking something. Pffft
Living Vice Dominate is a strong word. I would say compete at a high level with. I can't recall Henin ever dominating a match against Serena, even on clay. I believe majority of their matches went three sets.
they always say maria is the better player rubbish i c mary joe fernadezsittig n their box these days tripped me out then i saw the sisters playing fed cup n thought hummmm she finally got wat she was after
Serena looks like a TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLE here@
Oh really. Well that is far and few in between that Serena gets her ass kicked. Just face it, its tough to beat Serena. Wanna give it a try?
The 2007 match againts wa weird .
i love the way she dope her racket like wat who want some of dee boo
Steffi Graf is the queen of comebacks.
1) She won 4 slam finals even though her opponent had served for the match (FO 87, Wim 91, FO 96, FO 99).
2) She won 2 slam finals against Navratilova after trailing her 57 02 (Wim 88) and 36 24 (USO 89) respectively.
3) She beat Novotna in the famous Wim 93 final with Jana 4-1 in the lead in the 3rd, serving.
4) And MJ Fernandez led her 43 (serving) in the 3rd in the FO 93 final.
When Serena was down in slam finals she usually folded like a cheap tent.
To even COMPARE Steffi and Serena regarding their comeback qualities is an insult to the great German.
But such is the current nationalistic woke culture in the USA. Sad!
Mary carillo is a typical example of an underachiever who uses her platform to minimise greatness not only to Serena matches even to vichka sharapova etc it's disgusting because when she does comment on ATP matches she never brings her well known drama.
u finally admit its her body u hate told yah
If Serena was white she would be a billionaire.
justine is the only one who can dominate serena even when she is playing well.
gercc89 Excuse me but When has Justine Henin ever dominated Serena Williams when Serena was playing well? Please share with me & every one else hear reading this, when & what match did Justine Henin dominate Serena Williams when Serena was playing well? I can't wait to see this match that I obviously missed or forgot about. Because I know for a fact, there is No such match that they ever played professionally. But maybe I forgot it, so please don't forget to reply back with that match or matches where Serena was playing well & Justine still dominated Serena. Thank you for sharing.
serenatell me you`re fking comeback secret NAWWW xD
@kelvinpyaeko Don't care how good she is. Don't like arrogant people who make excuses when they lose and give no credit to their opponents.
Look at Roger Federer. He's the greatest of all time AND he's humble.
Queen Kong
Clearly the looser is a better player? Why is she in the booth? That's why some Americans have had social problem with other cultures. They are confessed.
@TheFever77 yawwnn at those immature name calling
