Id never seen this so this is now etched in my Venus memory log... have yous seen the epic vocals in the 2008 wimbledon final from Venus when she played Serena?? Second set 4 all... watch it ive youve not seen it... her screams in that are on another level... she bossed that game!
There were quite a few times where Venus was playing better tennis than Serena during this era...but she would get unlucky with injury or would blow a huge lead. 2009 was especially missed opportunity to grab another one. Weirdly enough in 2008, Serena played the match of her life but somehow Venus scrapped to get the win. She never complained about injuries though, ever...never any excuses. Gotta love Queen Vee!
ARZ1987 That 2008 final was something to marvel at. Venus’s performance was jaw dropping. I think Serena hit a ton of winners in the first set and still lost. I wish she could’ve grabbed 2009 as well especially considering how she dismantled Safina in a prior match lol
Sometimes I wonder if Venus let Serena win in the 2009 Wimbledon final. We all know how much of a crybaby Serena was when she lost to Venus back in the day.
@@taytumnewsome4932 I don’t know, as a Williams sister fan I can honestly admit back then it use to seem like Venus would hold back against her sometimes, it’s like she felt she already proved her point and didn’t go so hard some matches but idk about that one because Venus was taped super heavy that game but I could see why I’m a older sibling so I get it but hated that she would let Serena win. Have you ever seen a league of their own?
i was lucky enough to watch the 3rd set live. i had grounds pass to wimbledon and then i would ask any centre court ticket holders who were leaving if they could give me their ticket. The ball striking was insane and doesnt translate to how fast and hard they were hitting. and balls were barely over the net. great match to watch live
Then she would have won Wimbledon and potentially had a better 2003-mid05. She was actually playing fabulous tennis during the 04 clay season. She could have won the Us03 and FO 04!
Yea that’s sad that Venus had a turning point Career altering .. lift changing injury:. What she had needed to ideas slip the French open befire this.. had she done that.. might have been ok here. An yes she looked good even with injury..
Great highlights. Seems there were more Clijsters points then Venus points overall, but I enjoyed every minute. Such high intensity, especially from Venus with that stomach strain.
Hate to say this, but, Venus is the tragic heroine of Tennis. She was the workhorse of the tour, essentially cemented her place in the history books, only to have Serena across the net at every final. No matter, most players only dream of achieving 1/4 of her accomplishments, Venus legitimately has to enter into the G.O.A.T debate, so beautiful to watch her athleticism.
I remember this match and people actually saying Venus should've let Kim win because she was hurt and won't be able to put up a fight in the final hahaha seriously if Kim couldn't beat an injured Venus then she didn't deserve a spot in the final 😂 some people can be just soooo stupid and dumb!
Little did we know but these were really the last moments of Venus looking imperious. She was then out with injury for the rest of 2003 and since she came back in early 2004 she's been capable of stringing together enough matches to win tournaments and even 3 more Wimbledon titles, but she's never quite had that same energy and fearlessness of those days and the fear factor that she had 2000-2003, when really the only player who could beat her was Serena, had gone.
Sort of agree whilst sort of don't. I actually felt like she played at Wimbledon with even greater efficiency during 07-09 and again in 2017 (how she lost that final....) I guess in terms of long-term consistency you are absolutely right but she has still had some moments that eclipsed even this.
O 285 how is this racially motivated? Classes without a set a break in Venus had an abdominal tear that was causing her to panic.... That's a mental toughness issue. Let's not forget this is the same Kim clijsters who couldn't finish off Serena Williams when she had match points in the Australian Open.... And she served for the match twice at 5 2 and 5 4.... There are times in which race doesn't play a factor. Even the commentators who were white spoke about how mentally tough Venus was in this win.....
O 285 And you can’t make a semblance of sense. What proof do you have that black people like the Williams sisters because they are black? Where are your statistics and documents clarifying such a claim/assumption? As a matter of fact, where is your correct use of grammar? Has anything you’ve said so far had a place in reality? No, of course not. And yet you’re calling ME stupid? Pot, meet kettle.
O 285 How bout you get the fuck outta here until you have something worthwhile to contribute? Documents and statistics too much for you? How about interviews? Newspaper articles? Other RUclips comments? Show me examples of black people saying, “I like the Williams sisters solely because they are black, and I am black.” You claim this to be truth, but your claim ain’t worth a damn unless you can prove it.
The Venus of 1998-2010 would beat the modern top 10 women easily at least 6-1 6-3 with just spinning in second serves and coming from a 3 month lay off.
Too True 👍🏼. She was later sooooo unlucky with this Sjogren's Syndrome that she was diagnosed with in 2010 and lives with now! It is a debilitating Fatigue Syndrome which makes her so tired that she sometimes wasn't able to get out of bed let alone train and thats when her ranking started to slide from 2011.....and she fell far behind Serena
world class standard . This level of play would have won the australian open final against either halep or wozniaki or the us open final against stephens and keys in straight sets
they had the golden era of tennis behind them. it is insane to expect that level of talent to all come in at the same time. the williams sisters, clijsters, davenport, henin, mauresmo, dementieva, capriati...
olaraay Didn’t pay attention to her. Besides the Williams Sister Power, Athleticism and Style of play in their absolute peak is unmatched and that’s why I say that. These new girls are lucky this was their era and not the current one, because only Venus and Serena would be holding trophies
But all honesty Venus was AMazing in this match .. but Kim was in perfect form/health.. an Venus was struggling with injury an pulled out the win.. Kim had this an crumbled ..
@@NaNa-vb7ep No I disagree there- you have taken it too far. Every single white tennis fan I know over here loves them. Its people within the industry that tended to want to see them fail as they didn't like 2 incredible black women taking over the whitest sport of them all.
@@whitb8381 The field may be deeper, but it's not better. There is no consistency. Some random player will win a slam, and then proceed to do nothing for the next few years.
it's a crime Kim never made the Wimbledon final. Can't believe she lost to Zvonereva in 2010 it was going to be her vs. Serena. Oddly enough they've NEVER met in a slam final
I’m so glad Venus threw that tragic wig away it was slipping and shifting in that final against Serena and I was like I hope it don’t fall off how embarrassing that would have been lol
Venus last beat Clijsters in the 2005 Antwerp quarterfinals. Venus also beat Clijsters in a Billie Jean King event-can't remember if it was in 2009 or 2010-but that was an exhibition. Nevertheless, the shift in their head-to-head began in summer 2005. I'd say this Wimbledon match and their 2005 US Open quarterfinal were their best matches. In both, the eventual loser could've won in straight sets, but let leads slip.
@@cireewolI know what you mean. A few US Open matches and that Australian Open match against Li Na come to mind ... She wasn't quite the same after 2003.

2020 and they are still playing! Awesome stuff😁
Not like this, can barely get games together in matches

The only thing unfortunate is her battle with the autoimmune disease! Nothing tragic about her career!
It’s Venus Williams. She is the reason Serena loved tennis
Wow, what a match. Venus is so powerful. She has beaten the great Kim 6-1 in the third set. The Williams sisters are just awesome ❤️❤️❤️
I've watched these highlights many times now and whilst i loves them- I have just realised how few points it shows compared to Kim's. What a disgrace
