She’s made the final of every regular WTA tournament she’s entered

— has been the hallmark of her season.

So what was the best moment of the season for Serena

They say it was getting to No 1

What do Y'all think ?

I would say her top moment was the French Open win followed by defending her US Open title. I am excited for next year. Would love to see her defend her French.

I also think this was a moment of redemption for Serena.

Clay has been for many years looked at as a weakness in her

game. The haters and naysayers were quick to harp on

that She had only won the FO one time. And that there

were players who they say could beat her on clay. She really

stuck it to em this year going undefeated on clay. It is

as She has done all her career to those who said She could

not do something.

Definitely the RG win. I remember saying last year when Patrick first came aboard that she brought him on to get another French and that she would focus all her attention there. It's a testament to who Serena is though. She's had the game to win RG since 2003, but it took complete dedication and great preparation for her to finally achieve it again 10 years later.

Well, I think with the Bastad title; Serena now has the most titles on clay of any active player.

Is there really a question of what her top moment from this year was?

Winning the French Open for me. She hadn't won the French Open in 10 years. Indeed she hadn't won on red clay before this year in 10 years. She completely buried the ghosts of last year. Her form on clay this year was nothing short of phenomenal.

Well apparently, SI thinks it is getting to number 1 for her, so for some I guess there is a debate ;).

I think they only played in one Wimbledon final, did they? And Serena has won that title since.

And Maria hasn't.

And nor has she beaten Serena since... :p

I'd say it eats Masha more that she hasn't been a blip on Serena's scene since then.

The best of this year for Serena is the FO, followed by #1. She was seriously deficient in both areas for too long...

I guess that's why Serena is always putting the beatdown on Maria, forever repaying her 2004!!

Serena has won what, 11 slams since 2004?!

As opposed to the 16 that didn't, eh? Starts to look like a random fluke when you put it like that....

Unavenged? Masha can barely win a set against her!

She only won a single blinking game in the Olympics gold medal match. One game! :Lolz:
