serena was on beast mode during this tournament. lost only 17 games. that comes out to be 3 games per match.
33 winners to 5 unforced errors. Nearly perfect. Although this Serena is long gone, she’s built an incredible legacy.
Serena's serve is just so much more potent on grass. I love the sound of the ball on her racket and when it smashes into the backboards of the court. Tremendous!
Azarenka is the same player that said Serena's serve is not that great, she is not intimidated by it. That same serve almost took her life in this match.

This match is the BEST Serena ever played against Azarenka. Many of their matched were 3 set contests.
Everything was intense about Serena at the Olympics.... her game, her outfit, her face, even her hair!! lol she dominated these girls! I don't know what it was about the 2012 Olympics but she needs to stay in that mindset all year long!
Three aces alone in opening service game against Azarenka, and then end the entire match with a 2nd serve ace. Serena at her best.
Not only was Serena's game on fire at the 2012 Olympics. I thought she has never looked better, appearance wise on a tennis court. I thought she was on fire in that regard as well.
I think what made Serena sooo dominate at the Olympics was her preparation on grass in 2012... She had soo much time on grass, more than usual. She had practice before Wimbledon because of the early round loss at the French, then had played the whole tournament won Wimbledon then practice before the Olympics and played there... Which grass is already her best surface for her game so it was only right that she won!

Oh yeah I forgot about doubles! She is so great on this court she had soo much time on it! Including doubles which really helps her. I miss this Serena.
Serena beat Victoria in the semi final at Wimbledon that year.She beat her at the final at the US open.The semi final that same year in Singapore WTA.

Just see the stats by Serena 33W to 5UE😮😮
THE QUEEN RULES SUPREME!!!!
Couldn't have said it any better! The matches and the big win at Wimbledon 2 wks before the Olympics prepared Serena physically and mentally, she came into the Olympics with beaming with confidence and just dismantled the entire competition, losing only 17 games in 6 matches, astounding!
ACERENA!
Even in 2012 if Venus(though she was struggling with her illness) would have played Serena then the match would have been very competitive.
Rena didn't come to play games here! Over in a flash!!
Its just awesome when Azarenka and Serena play.
Aces for Williams
Aces galore!
Domination at it's finest 🎾
Awesomee performance!
serena is on a warpath for gold here go serena!
She beat five top 2 players four being former number 1’s! If that ain’t amazing idk what is!
Vika almost cried
2012 serena is crazyness
Serena. Oh Queen Serena.
Serena, even though you've evolved away from tennis you're still there
Awesome.. I love these two

Serena knew that her time is coming to an end (hopefully not too soon) and this may have been the last chance to obtain that special olympic award. With that said, This is the Serena Williams that i like. One who was VERY determined and wasn't going to let *anyone* stand in her way. 2014 was an awful year for serena, but for everyone else, it would have been the best thing! I hope 2015 is much better.

Kato robinson Not your fault they put the wrong title. Serena beat Jelena Jankovic in the first round. She beat Aga's sister, Urzula, in the second round. 3rd round was Vera Zvonareva. Caro was in the QF. Vika was the semi and Maria Sharapova was embarrassed\throttled\decimated\humiliated in the final. 3 number ones were humbled by Serena. I don't think Serena lost a set during this Olympics. I don't recall her giving up that many games.

+StingStungMe Mae 4 number ones. JJ, Caro, Vika, and Pova. Vera was a former number 2. Serena played no games at the Olympics. That gold scrunchie wasn't just for show.
This match is NOT 1st round but the Semi-final.
Can you put the bronze medal match? Azarenka vs Kirilenko please!
Why does azarenka make that God-awful noise each time she HITS THE BALL?! It's so off putting.
@tiffanylyons4474
6 жыл бұрын
Cool Kid I think she and MS do not hit the ball that hard. I feel it is to make it appear as if they are hitting all out when it reality they may be hitting three quarter pace. Also, I know that when I play I like to hear the ball come off my opponent's racket. I could therefore determine how much pace I need to respond in kind. I have heard the great Navratilova say all that noise is tantamount to cheating. I agree.
