Yup Serena takes it without much fuss, I'm surprised Maria didn't put up more of a fight than Azarenka I mean she won Roland Garros this year

lol @ Serena dancing
 
When it comes to womens tennis, she pretty much has been over the past decade. Even with all the ups and downs.

If it's any consolation, Maria is 25, Serena 30. Sharapova may have another shot at this, while this will probably be Serena's last go.

Not in 2006-2007 when there was a different player to beat. Shame she was mentally checked out after that wonderful period. :(
 
Serena always looks pissed, either at herself, the crowd, the opponent, court umpire, line judge, etc.

It's just today she's playing really, really incredibly well.
 
One thing I've always wondered - why is it that tennis crowds have to stay silent during play? Plenty of other athletes have to contend with all sorts of distractions with noise while having to keep total concentration (gymnasts, particularly) so why is it so important for tennis players to have silence?

Crowd noise in gymnastics doesn't really matter when you already have routine music playing on the loudspeakers.

Tennis would fucking suck if idiots were chanting during rallies etc.
The silences helps build the tennis and makes the cheers at the end of a long rally much more pleasing.
