2019 US Open Final: Bianca Andreescu vs. Serena Williams

[MargaretMcAleer]

I have been a fan of BA,she has the game,also she has shown a Champions mentality,unlike others on the WTA tour

 

[kskate2]

The amazing part is Serena has had some cupcake draws and she still hasn't gotten it done. The draws won't always be like this

The injuries put her in question. Missed all of the clay season. Walkover at RG. No Wimbledon. But on the hard courts this year. She's been the best player in the world since IW.

Nice pay day for a 19year old,Great Speech from Bianca

Serena gets through the whole draw, and blinks at the last moment. I'm not sure it's about the draw.

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Right Moxie.

I'm also interested in how Osaka does next year. She has to defend the AO, but ...

 

[Double Bagel]

I love Amanda Anisimova who pulled out of this USO because the death of her dad. She is my favorite young player.

 

[tenisplayrla08]

So far. At these last 2 slams, for 2 years in a row. No one could beat her until she got to the final. And then she blinked. Let nerves get the best of her.

 

[kskate2]

It's not about the draw at all. My point is the draw won't always be in her favor. She's been getting to the finals because of the easier draws.

 

[Moxie]

There are a lot of great young players. Let's see how Andreescu backs it up. I have pretty good faith in her.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

DB That was soo sad for Amanda,her father as her coach as well

 

[tented]

I hear you, tenisplayer. She only played one three setter onher way to the final. it's not like she was playing tons of long matches.

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Yeah Double Bagel. I think Anisimova is more evidence that we're not done meeting these knew dominant young ladies. She just turned 18 now. We'll see how she does next year.

 

[Double Bagel]

So I have an off topic question, do you all talk about the smaller tournaments like you do the Grand Slam ones?

 

[kskate2]

probably not as much DB

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Though. The death of her father doesn't just go away. She could miss the rest of the season. And he was her coach either for a long time if not at the time of his death. So she'll have to make that adjustment as well.

 

[tented]

Not all, DB, but most of the next-level down tournaments.

 

[kskate2]

more people come out of the woodworks for the slams

 

[Double Bagel]

Tenisplayer, I really think the skies the limit for her if she stays healthy.
