They definitely don't seem relaxed yet.

Serena looks stressed 24/7 when she's on court, that's just her.

 

[perfectchaos007]

4 straight breaks

 

[King Kovu]

Serena is hella nervous.

 

[leng jai]

Venus looks super solid so far apart from a few dodgy off forehands.

 

[Spiritreaver]

Let's go VENUS!!!

 

[Wafflecakes]

There is Serena.

 

[leng jai]

Venus' reach is absolutely insane.

 

[perfectchaos007]

5-4. Serena is going to try to serve for the set

 

[perfectchaos007]

Serena just 1 set away from the chip

 

[Wafflecakes]

Those serves... damn.

 

[Cooter]

Let's go VENUS!!!

This is where we part ways my buffed friend. Serena got this.

 

[King Kovu]

God damn that was nice.

 

[Spiritreaver]

This is where we part ways my buffed friend. Serena got this.

What you doin in a tennis thread?! :O

I just wanna see Venus win one more, hah.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Venus has 0 chance unless Serena's serve goes away.

 

[Cooter]

What you doin in a tennis thread?! :O

I rarely miss a Serena final. She's one of the best athletes I've ever seen. Maybe the best.

 

[Spiritreaver]

Now that was a good one. Venus with the epic save.

I rarely miss a Serena final. She's one of the best athletes I've ever seen. Maybe the best.

I'm with you there. Nothing beats seeing Serena in the finals. Either way, glad to see you around, Superman.

 

[leng jai]

Venus' forehand is just so flaky.

 

[oti]

GO VENUS!!!!

 

[Wafflecakes]

Congrats Queen on #23

 

[perfectchaos007]

Congrats to Serena on her 23rd slam in singles! That's pretty impressive! Not quite as good as Margaret Court's 24 singles slams but still really good none the less!

 

[scarlet]

I'M CRYING

WE'RE WATCHING HISTORY GUYS

 

[oti]

Congratz. GOAT.

Still love you, Venus.

[Magicgamer101]

Unlucky Venus Congrats to Serena, she's already the GOAT female tennis player

 

[Spiritreaver]

GG. Glad we got another all Williams final.

GG. Glad we got another all Williams final.

It was kinda boring though.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Brad Gilbert predicted Serena would win 6-4, 6-4 before the match. Gotta give props to where props are due

 

[RastaMentality]

THAT NIKE COMMERCIAL THO. LEGEND STATUS.

23 TITLES
7 AUSTRALIAN OPENS.
WORLD #1
QUEEN.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Glad I don't have to look at Kerber sitting at #1 anymore.

 

[miserable]

what an aticlimactic way to win no 23. meh

 

[Green Yoshi]

Congratulations.

What a career. She won their first GS in 1999.

pff, no need to be so salty

Kerber was the best player of 2016.

Fitting that she was the best player of the worst year.

Great ad!

Their matches were always a snoozefest. It always feel like they were so hesitant. That's why I always prefer to be Williams vs other people.

Yup.

Their matches have never been that exciting imo.

Yeah peace and justice are restored

 

[Akira]

The only thing that is 35 year old about Serena's performance was that grandma-like celebration. The GOAT is just too good. Venus' run was wonderful to see and it would be great to see winning another one.

 

[oti]

Yeah peace and justice are restored

breh

 

[scarlet]

Vee is so gracious. It must be so hard for her.

 

[Spiritreaver]

YOU'RE boring.

 

[oti]

Vee is so gracious. It must be so hard for her.

That's why I love her so much. Grace through and through.

 

[Wafflecakes]

I still remember the post match interview when Serena won her 12th (or so) grand slam and the interviewer teased her about Graff's record of 22. That was back when Serena was winning fairly infrequently.

It seemed so absurd to even consider it back then. Even Serena acted like it was a troll question.


...who knew?


Edit: I think it was actually her 13th slam, because I remember it was at Wimbledon.

 

[Spiritreaver]

It may have been "boring" or a "snoozefest", but seeing them together right now after the match is a beautiful sight again. Makes it all worth it.

 

[scarlet]

She didn't mention Alexis, and Alexis was like "I'm here." 😂😂😂

She's a living legend.

 

[Staab]

Match was fairly boring tbh but yeah, amazing feat by Serena, congrats !

Venus, a class act, as always

 

[PedroPanache]

Too good and whilst I'm not really into the women's game, it's always interesting to see players become living legends as you watch. I used to love watching Graf back in the day, but Serena is something else.

The match itself was a little tentative and subdued. They've had the odd great match here and there, but for the most part, they're difficult matches to watch. Still, congrats to a living legend. 24 and 25 this year? It'd be great to see.

I think she'll win one more slam this year.... Probably Wimbledon. I don't see Serena winning the French this year, especially since the queen of clay Maria Sharapova will be back
