Daddy's tired. Put the baby to sleep Serena.

 

[PedroPanache]

Maria's made a good go of it, but she just doesn't have anything in her game that can hurt her. I'd love her, at the very least, to force the tie-break. The likelihood is, though, that it ends 6-3 6-4.

 

[LuuKyK]

She is totally going to get broken. Very NID. Lol

 

[MIMIC]

Enough fartin around, Serena. People have shit to do. =p

 

[Kitschkraft]

Hindrance

She shouted something (intelligible) after the serve and immediately lost the point under the hindrance rule.

She screamed before Mario could hit the ball, so she hindered her. Point penalty.

Thanks, I never heard the call because I was complaining lol.

She's tied for fifth all-time with Martina at 18.

It's not only about the titles. There is nobody in the history of tennis that could be better than Serena. She plays just on a whole different level, even 33 years old.

 

[Dispatch]

I really wouldn't count those pre-open era. She's tied for second most in my mind and in most peoples minds

That's true. Honestly, as much as I love Navratilova, Serena is probably the most talented woman ever.

I think you're right but the German in me screams STEFFI GRAF right now.

 

[Kitschkraft]

Serena is one of the best competitors I've ever seen. Her will is extraordinary. How can you not be a fan?

Masha is a helluva competitor in her own right...it's just that 1)Serena truly is the GOAT, 2) Masha's game doesn't really bother Serena anyways and 3) Serena clearly wants to beat her more than anyone else on the tour.

 

[MIMIC]

Why is Maria grunting when she hits a damn SLICE? xD

 

[lazybones18]

Championship Point

 

[Dispatch]

Match point!

 

[one_kill]

Bad decision by Maria

C'mon Serena!

 

[Dispatch]

Serena looks like she might hurt herself chasing one of those droppers.

 

[MIMIC]

Really, Serena?

 

[Faith]

Why is Maria grunting when she hits a damn SLICE? xD

Same reason as you

 

[Cooter]

Dat serve

 

[PedroPanache]

Wow! What a way to save a match point. It feels like she's just delaying the inevitable, but it's been a really good final regardless.

 

[jett]

Why is Serena not destroying this insufferable noisemaker. Fucking put a cork in it already.

 

[brianjones]

those grunts were downright gutteral

 

[Dispatch]

Serena has had a good look at a few of these shots and still dumped them into the net, to my surprise.

 

[one_kill]

Come on!

 

[oti]

Why don't you guys wanna see a third set?

 

[Omzz]

COME ONNNNNNNN

 

[perfectchaos007]

No breaks of serve this entire set so far. Well done ladies.

 

[brianjones]

holy shit that look she gave maria

she hates her guts

 

[Dispatch]

Wow, she totally fooled Sharapova on that serve.

 

[Cooter]

Why don't you guys wanna see a third set?

Because I want to see Serena win and it's 2:23 am

 

[Tookay]

[screams externally]

 

[John Dunbar]

sharapova will probably lose serve here, and even if she didn't she's not going to win a tiebreak. shame really. would have liked to see what depths would have been reached in the third set.

 

[Faith]

Why don't you guys wanna see a third set?

Because I'm sick of her grunting.

 

[jett]

Go away Sharapova, and never come back.

 

[scarlet]

Peru where are you?

 

[perfectchaos007]

Tiebreak time!

 

[lazybones18]

COME ON TIEBREAKER

 

[Hours Left]

How interesting.

 

[Omzz]

Damn that winner

 

[brianjones]

oh wow

 

[Dispatch]

I dislike Sharapova, too, but, that was a hell of a return.

 

[scarlet]

Come on Serena

 

[oti]

Jesus, all you hating on Maria's grunting. I understand why. It doesn't bother me anymore though.

 

[John Dunbar]

held to love in the last service game.

will not win a single point on serve in the breaker.

 

[PedroPanache]

Why don't you guys wanna see a third set?

It's 10.30am and, quite frankly, I would love another set of tennis. I love the Aus. Open because of the night matches. It's a great way to start the day. Sharapova has played incredibly well and deserves to take it into a third set

Spoiler

where she'll be trounced 6-1

 

[perfectchaos007]

Serena uses counterattack

 

[lazybones18]

Dat Ace

 

[Cooter]

God I love her

 

[jett]

Take that you screaming nutjob!

 

[one_kill]

Serena has this

 

[Trey]

Oh my.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Oh I need a.gif of that American clown face
