2016 Australian Open Final: Serena Williams v Angelique Kerber

[Moxie]

Tasty reply from the break by that pass.

 

[britbox]

Another poor drive volley by Serena.

 

[Moxie]

Finally Serena opens up her serving shoulder.

 

[Moxie]

4-1. They could go 3, but I still feel like Kerber has her eye on the prize, and Serena is just protecting the citadel. I'm not convinced yet. And I wasn't even going to wake up for this one.

 

[britbox]

Yes, nice response from Angelique Kerber. I don't think she's just going to fall away.. She's in it to win it.

 

[britbox]

2 sets points for Serena

 

[britbox]

Serena levels proceedings at 1-1.

All set up for a grand finale!

 

[Moxie]

We're going 3. It's hard to bet against Serena when the rubber meets the road, but Kerber seems very determined. And Serena is not having her finest day. But she's getting the serve back on, so that's bad news for Angie. And can Kerber keep up the level?

 

[britbox]

I'm going to go with Serena 6-4 in the third, but first game (Kerber serving) will be pretty immense.

 

[Moxie]

Agreed, this is a big pressure moment for Kerber.

 

[britbox]

Are the crowd beginning to lean toward Angie as the underdog?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

1 set all,Kerber needs to do what she did in the first set,if she is to win.Serena needs to find her serve more and stop the UFE,what has surprised me so far in this match,kerber is returning Serena's 2nd serve very well so far in this match

 

[britbox]

Wow wow wow.....

 

[britbox]

Incredible rally.

 

[Moxie]

Serena made a hash of that volley, and she's in trouble here.

 

[britbox]

2-0 Angie. Does this have destiny written on it?

Kerber is going from defence to attack seamlessly.

 

[Moxie]

It's hard to think one break could do it against Serena, but Kerber has been generally the most convincing in this match.

 

[britbox]

Huge C'mon from Serena as she gets a break back.

Huge C'mon from Serena as she gets a break back.

 

[Moxie]

Back on serve. This is a much better final than I expected. Not great from Serena, but makes it exciting.
