Absolutely!!! I can't agree more. That Venus davenport final, some of the best tennis I have ever seen.

This tournament would of had to been Serena’s best comeback of all time. Just the way she came into that final as the absolute underdog all odds against her, hips swaying with her handbag as if she’s late to Sunday morning church and just passing through the final to Beatdown Sharapova.

We know what we saw over the years... lots of beat downs. Am I sorry that she wrote in her book of hearing Serena bawling after she "won' in 2004.? No way,!! It has given me the greatest pleasure to watch Serena administer the best whippings in the history of women's tennis and to hear her bawl and howl like a banshee. Owwwweee!!!!

I remember this so clearly. All of the media, including the commentators throughout this match, were so excited to announce that this time, Serena had no chance. The overall tone of these comments was "relief" on two levels: (1) relief that, finally, the black woman who has been doing so well in a predominantly white sport "doesn't have a chance," and (2) relief that Sharapova, their blonde white princess, has come to save the day from the "too aggressive," "all power and no finesse," and now "injured" Serena. When Serena won here, she shut everyone up, shattering those racist fantasies of relief like a baseball flying through a window. She said "um what rivalry"? I think she knew, as she's always known, how much people wanted to see her fail. But in Serena-like style, this was nothing new to her -- due to her background, the odds were always stacked against her -- yet she persevered. That's why she will forever be the queen to me. So much respect and admiration for this woman!

The tournament that turned me into a Serena fan! I was watching the Petrova match before my winter college tennis practice (we practiced very early) and I remember how ridiculously rude the commentators were when Petrova looked to be in control. Serena had so many clutch games throughout the tournament which you pointed out nicely and I remember how encouraging the Australian crowd was every time it felt like she was in trouble. Against Sharapova, she probably played the best match of her career. I couldn't believe how many winners she was hitting off of Maria's first serve. It was amazing and inspiring!

Pat Cash called her washed up and that she should retire and I'm pretty sure I read (correct me I'm wrong) Nike was planning to drop her if she hadn't won. So this GS I believe really fuelled the fire for many slams she won after this. Wish she can channel this Serena, I know it's there!

Serena please wake up and remember who the hell you are. I’ve seen her play this year and all she lacks is confidence. I hope that she works on her confidence this year so next year she’ll be up and ready. Remember this comment guys. Serena gonna win a slam next year or maybe even 2

No lie, Mama was huffin and puffin like crazy through that tournament, but talent, skill and a never lose attitude took her to that final. That final though... just wow. We knew Serena had a good serve, we knew she was a great returner, but she took it to a different level in that final. The power, placement, speed of her serves and returns were astounding. Dismantling a hitter like Pova, not even giving her a chance to get a rally going was beautiful. Who would've thought she could do it again but better in the second half of 2012.

HER MENTAL STRENGTH IS UNRIVALLED

i think this is one of the matches where Yuri (sharapova's dad) got up and left during the first set. Serena was ruthless in the final of this grand slam. EPIC!

Thank you for this. Love Serena GOAT.

one her biggest run to a grand slam title. She almost never gets easy draws. I noticed she used more spin these matches to help setup the putaway shot. Buy her time to get into position. She showcased her whole arsenal. Great netplay, angles, return of server
