YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS



Venus Williams LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First AO final since 2003

 

[Moxie]

What did they say...14 years since her last final at the AO? OMG.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well done to Coco she has had a great tournament!

 

[britbox]

Great win by Venus - can't really call it a shock by any means but I thought Coco would get her today.

I like Venus though, great to see her back in another final.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I am soooooooo happy to be wrong,my heart was with Venus!

Venus was one of Coco's idols growing up

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Venus my heart again will be with you in the final on Saturday......your just a Class Act!

 

[Moxie]

Sweet speech. She said she'd love to see her sister on the other side of the next on Sat. The Williams sisters are stunning athletes. No doubt. But Venus's desire to play, without the results, has been amazing and a role model for loads of young players. What a champ she is, whatever happens in 2 days.

Venus my heart again will be with you in the final on Saturday......your just a Class Act!

The classiest act in tennis, no doubt. That was worth staying up for.

:Last time Vee was in a final was 2009 at Wimbledon

:Last time Vee was in a final was 2009 at Wimbledon

Even with my crappy math, I think I'm right that that was 7 1/2 years ago. Unbelievable.

ESPN just showed a clip of Serena v. Lucic-Baroni at Wimbledon in 1998 (the last time they played??) They mentioned that was the year that Roger won the boy's title. Is this all true? If so, crazy, mind-boggling, Alice down the rabbit hole wild.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Serena takes the 1st set in just 25 minutes 62 with ease

 

[britbox]

I wonder who Venus wants to win

 

[britbox]

4-1. Dominant performance by Serena. Shame we never got to see a Pliskova rematch.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

This is just a 'Master Class Performance' from Serena leading 5-1 in the 2nd set

 

[britbox]

Well I'm glad Serena took up the challenge - she's been avoiding Lucic-Baroni for 19 years

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

MP for Serena

S.Williams d Lucic Baroni 62 61 in a Master Class Performance
