2015 Australian Open Final: S. Williams vs. Sharapova

[Sundaymorningguy]

It is all about how she can differentiate herself now.

Hats off to Maria, she showed she has fight in that second set.

I am sure she disappointed, but, no reason to hang her head about.

Serena was not quite 90%, but, if anyone, and you know who you are, question her serve, have several seats - 85 aces during this tourney...lol.

Martina to present the trophy. Bet she's gutted !

She had to know it was coming. There's no way Serena was going to stop at 18. :nono

I don't think Martina thought it would so quickly since Serena struggled so much at AO recently. But that 18 club only lasted for 4 months.

I am sure Djokovic is bummed Serena won as they have never won a slam when the other has won. Maybe, he can change that tomorrow.

 

[kskate2]

Nice words from Maria. And my advice for Maria next year is don't win Brisbane. :nono

 

[Calvy]

Personally I actually think Martina has got a lot prettier with age.

She was quite attractive when she was overweight in her younger years.

Good speech by Sharapova.

Does this mean she has to return the jewelry?

 

[Front242]

Martina cringed as Serena thanked Jehovah

 

[kskate2]

Stop it Front! :lolz:

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I know Serena's focus is going to be on Wimby, but since they get an extra week between the French and Wimby she should put some extra effort to getting another French.

Congrats Serena - great match - great win - #19

Serena is separating herself not only from Chrissie/Martina, but also Fed too. She's now 2 ahead of Fed and they're the same age.

Different sport really (Re: Fed)

The men's is a whole different kettle of fish though. I mean really when Serena plays her best who can really challenge her? There are many on the men's side who can beat each other and potentially win slams.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Well hopefully, Serena takes a nice break and fully recovers before playing again. Health is just as important this year as good play. The serve is much better this year especially on key points.

I know Baron. But they make comparisons all the time between the two.

Here the stats of the match:

 

[Front242]

2nd serve is a bit of a liability for Serena and something to work on. Everything else was great mostly although a fair few FH errors.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Really great stats from both ladies.
