Serena Williams vs Venus Williams in their first Grand Slam final meeting! | US Open 2001 Final
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 мар 2020
- The 2001 women's singles final was set to make history, even before Serena and Venus Williams found themselves across the net in the championship match. The sisters' first career Grand Slam final meeting - an iconic moment in itself - was doubly significant because it came in the US Open's first primetime women's final.
The Saturday evening showcase put the USTA's commitment to women's tennis on full display, offering a fitting stage for two women who would be at the forefront of the women's game in the U.S. and the world for the next two decades.
Despite their relative youth - Venus was 21 at the time, Serena, 19 - the two were already blockbuster attractions, with four Grand Slams between them. Serena's lone major title at the time came at the 1999 US Open, while Venus lifted the New York trophy in 2000, along with a pair of Wimbledon triumphs in 2000 and 2001.

HISTORIC! 22.7M viewers watched this first ever women’s final night match in US Open history. Completely changed the game forever…
This was the first tennis match I ever watched!! I didn't even care about tennis before this match and I've been playing recreational tennis ever since. So many memories!
Vincent J. Turner where you from maybe we can play sometime
@@theycallmedannii_7296 Louisiana
same!! This match made me fall in love with tennis. Single handedly
Looks like Serena didn't want to hug Vee at the net. When people say it's about who wants it more, looks like Serena always wanted it more. As much as venus wants to win, she always wants the best for Serena.
Strange, Venus won her first grand slam against Serena and Serena won her last grand slam against Venus - you gotta love those two!!! Amazing players!
Yooooh true ❤️
Not really. Venus first Grand Slam victory was the 2000 Wimbledon against Lindsay Davenport. The 2001 US Open was the second and last time she won it.
@@fabiennefertiti3017: Yeah, you are right. I did watch that match with her and Lindsay.
They both won their last major against the other
@@cfhar080591 we will see
can we just talk about the difference in the handshakes when serena wins and when venus wins. the difference between being the older and young sister lmao
We don’t talk about it enough
Women's Tennnis will never be the same without Serena and Venus. Experts would argue that there are different metrics and data to consider Serena the GOAT but regardless of all those, THESE TWO literally changed the women's tennis and brought it to another level and spotlight. Serena is THE GOAT! Period!!!
Steroids
Trans women will always up the game in women's division
@@ryanthemetalman7161 WOW!! I didn’t know a trans woman could a baby! This generation is Amazing!! Serena can do ANYTHING!! That’s why she’s the GOAT PERIOD!!!
U can believe the narrative if you want, it doesn't hurt me any.
@@ryanthemetalman7161 Trans women should not be allowed to play with normal women. It’s just not the same and what you just said proves it!
Look at the youth! It amazing to reflect on how quick Venus was and how she could track down any ball on the court. Her serve was so efficient. I love that Serena pulled her game together in 2002 and basically became unbeatable. Two ICONS.
Interesting that some players started to pick up on that and realised that with both Serena and Venus, the weakness in their movement wasn't running for shots, it was getting out of the way of them. If you watch some of Justine Henin's wins over Serena and Venus, a lot of the time she hits the ball hard and deep right down the middle of the court.
Venus did not have the consistency in her game to stay at the top as long. Serena has winning records against all the top 10 players over the past 20 years. Venus had losing records against most of them -- Sharapova, Davenport, Azarenka, Clijsters, and Kvitova for example.
you cant tell me Serena wasn't like-- get off me you won, damn, bye.
Stefano Patton yup she looks pissed Hahahaha so funny How Sloan took Serena’s commons during their match lolz she’s just very competitive it’s a proof no matter if your her sister or Bestfriend your going to get a competitive Serena lolz
😂😂😁
Yeah if you watch their matches that Venus won you could see she was less gracious in defeat than Venus was, but that’s understandable I doubt she be pissed for long
lmao she was literally pushing venus away
Serena used to have to work so hard to try and beat Venus
yeah because honestly venus during these years was just that good (her peak) and some say that serena improved and reached hers one or two years later
Best family in tennis ever

32:50 "Modern technology" lol...crazy to think the iPhone wouldn't come out until nearly 6 years later. I remember watching this match live on TV and recording it on the VCR. It's amazing how time flies and it's a testament to the longevity of the Williams Sisters.
All I wanted at that time was a blue apple computer lol
I met Venus very briefly in the early 2000s in High Point, NC. I was with my company doing the furniture trade show and at the time Venus was just getting into interior design. She came to our booth and checked out our furniture and asked a few questions. She was shy and quiet but very sweet. I told her I was a big fan and she smiled at me.
Just goes to show you what a determined father can do raising his children to be the best at what he set his mind too. Many people critique his methods as they did Earl Woods. A father builds a strong influence in the lives of there children.
As with mothers, some fathers are better than others. In some cases, the best thing for a kid would have been if their father / mother had never been anywhere near them.

@@temi4116Peace! Word is bond
Thank so much! Please peple stay at home watching a marathon of great Us Open Matches!
Thank you! Stay safe 🙏
@@usta Finally old games, thanks!
Now of mens, please.
Stay at home ?
I remember when people were moaning everytime there was a William's sister's final. They didn't realise, not only were they watching some fantastic tennis, but two women making history that will never be repeated again
Venus almost apologized to the pissed up Serena, about winning this match. Serena can thank to Venus most of her successes, and her stubborn nature. Venus , described by her own mother, is too nice , in the clouds. Venus Cherished and loved Serena more than herself,
That is why Serena only had to beat Venus to be number one .
Love this. Thank you!! Serena and Venus are two of the best athletes around, tennis or otherwise. On a side: Puma needs to bring that dress back.They could reboot their tennis clothing line on that dress alone.
This Venus would easily beat modern day girls in the top 10 at least 6-1 6-3 with just spinning in second serves and coming from a 3 month lay off.
Venus was never the same after straining her abdominal muscles in 03. These girls would not want the smoke with peak Venus.
Her serve was never as fast after that abdominal strain in 2003. Then from there her toss would go away and throw her serve off. I also don't think we acknowledge how much neither of them played with the same spunk after their older sister died.
@@akeemmartin3056 they both were never quite the same after 2003 wimbledon in terms of their speed. Serena domaniated again from 2008-10 and 2012-17 and was a smarter player but less "athletic" (though still very athletic)
@@whitb8381 exactly both peak venus and serena are just way too good
Peak Venus and Serena and the top 2 best tennis players of all time
Thanks a lot, never had the chance to watch them play at this period, so awesome !!
Serena rarely loses to an opponent in finals more than once. Venus and Kerber are the only players who have beaten her 2x in a final. Serena would go on to beat Venus in their next 5 GS finals. It would be nearly 7 years before Venus prevails a second time in the 2008 Wimbledon final.
After the 2004 Wimbledon loss to Sharapova and a blip at the WTA finals, Serena NEVER loss again to Maria.
Amazing match of two of the greatest icons in all sport. Thanks for uploading.
Wow this is a gem bro!
@@eizyaws yessir!!
Puma needs to make a comeback and make more tennis outfits
Venus is always so sweet at the net towards serena win or lose, she has show good sportsmanship throughout the years, to have a sister like venus who is so kind and strong for sure at sometime the younger will be better
If Serena only knew she would go on to become the GOAT.
Wow Venus was sooo quick at the time, amazing.
Oddly enough, the one weakness in her movement was actually getting out of the way of the ball. Players like Justine Henin started to pick up on that and would start hitting the ball hard and deep down the middle of the court. Both Venus and Serena could struggle with that at times. They were amazing at running down shots, but not at making those tiny adjustments close up. Perhaps it illustrates the difference between speed and footwork. Both sisters had amazing speed, but their footwork wasn't in that same class.
If we could get the finals from 1999, 2000, and 2002, that would be amazing!
We’ll see what we can do!
United States Tennis Association (USTA) actually, if you could somehow show any of Serena’s mixed doubles from 1998 or Serena and Venus’s doubles from 1999, 2000, or 2001 that would be even more amazing!
J. Cole lol, Jcole. Take it easy .. I’m suprised they even uploaded this one
Ayo Ayodeji they’re sitting on a vault of thousands of matches. I’m definitely going to ask lmao
J. Cole honestly I feel same, I see no reason why all full matches aint on RUclips, they can make money and make more people fall in love w the game, it’s a win win... speaking for someone like who only started following the game in early 2018.. All I get are highlights.hahah
Do upload 2000 Semifinal - Venus Williams versus Martina Hingis - that alone was the best women's match one could watch since the new millennium!
I was at that match with my mother sitting courtside.
@World Tennis Federation for sure, but need one with high resolurion
2001 US Open Women's Singles Champion: Venus William!
Me too...think I was in P...those steps are so steep. There is nothing like watching Venus and Serena play each other live and in person. The power and speed was unbelieveable~!! The atmosphere at the US Open is unbelieveable. Just walking around the grounds or watching the players practice on the practice courts was amazing. The energy I felt at the US Open is unlike anything I've felt at any other sports venue~! I live in NY on Long Island and it was such a privilege to be able to attend yearly.
Everytime someone makes a great shot it’s one of your children 😆 brilliant commentary
Proud to say I was actually AT this match!!! I was soooooo excited..... unfortunately the pre match festivities were better than the actual match....but it was still amazing to watch.....
Wow. We are lucky to have witnessed a match like this between siblings.
Venus defended her Title successfully.
Many years later they met again in NYC when Serena win.
They had a sold out match with numerous celebrities in attendance.
Damn near 20 years later and the stroke production on these shots still takes my breath away!
Serena won most of their GS final meetings except the 2008 Wimbledon final which Venus won. I think that Wimbledon always was Venus best tournament (or grass court was just her best surface)
It's eerie watching this match now knowing the horror that would befall NYC & the country only 3 days later on 9/11.
I've said this a million times. If you are a hardcore Venus fan like me, and you have analyzed her game throughout the years. I personally think a lot of the matches that Serena has won against Venus. Venus just flat-out let her win, because she knows it means so much to Serena and she loves her so much. Whenever Venus really wants to beat Serena I think she can beat her easily, whenever she feels like it. The proof is in the pudding. Just look at how often she used to beat her in the beginning of their careers. I'm not saying I'm right. That's just my personal opinion, but I highly do think I'm right.
Caleb Merritt I don’t think she lets her win . I just think Venus doesn’t have that killer instinct . Serena doesn’t care who she is playing , she gives her all to win . Venus doesn’t go for the kill when she plays Serena , which is bad because Serena is so good , you have to be willing to go for the jugular against Serena . And Venus just doesn’t have it in her to do so .
@@thedivinebrycelamore What you just said is the exact point of what I'm saying. She doesn't have that killer instinct towards her sister because she doesn't want to have it. Venus definitely has that killer instinct in general. The proof is in the pudding. All you have to do is just watch her towards all her other opponents that are not her sister. Especially before she got sick and her disability caught up with her. She just doesn't unleash it on Serena, because she loves her, and she knows how much winning means to Serena. So I feel she just lets her win.
I dont think Venus lets Serena, and as a Venus fan you're actually questioning her professionalism...
@@endokuken1678 Um.....questioning her professionalism? That's definitely not true. You just tried to make what I said way deeper than what it is. I said she loves her sister, and in my opinion that's why she lets her win. There's no secret that winning means way more to Serena. They have both even spoke on that in their careers. I mean don't get me wrong Venus loves to win too, she's a competitor, but it has been said multiple times that winning means a lot more to Serena. That's why I feel Venus lets her win a lot of the time. I'm not saying Serena just flat-out can't beat her, but I think that a lot of her wins came from Venus just letting her have it.
@@calebmerritt2438 That would be a sad state of affairs if Venus Williams put all the work in to get to a grand slam final to let her sister win. Why would she want her sister to win under false pretenses?? Makes no sense.
Can someone tell me what happened to the serna vs hingis 2001 usopen match.i've been looking for it it was posted and I watched it just a few weeks ago. It had two different post the full match and a 14mins highlights
I was 7 when the William sisters made their presence known nationally and eventually internationally. I used to wear beads over my braids as well at seven and up until the last of my preteen years. This is my earliest memory of seeing someone that looked like me in real time becoming famous/legacies.
Excellent they are phenomenally great
Classic match
I used to watch there match when I was kid and don't know much about tennis, but watching it again coz this two sisters are monster of there time.now I'm feeling how they celebrate it at home?? Coz one is losing and another one is winning, win or los title at home for both
In the annals of athletic competition, this match should be mythical because it was the last major athletic competition before The Towers fell(9/11).
i miss those days 😓😓
Thanks so much King Richard
The younger one is the better player infanc one of the best players ever to play any sport but I love the elder one more because she is such a class act
I miss this Venus
Celebs pretty much watched the WTA just for these two
I remember this match like yesterday it was prime time at the Open featuring first time ever two African American women, sisters at that playing in a major slam; all the celebrities were out that night, twenty plus years of the two greatest sisters to play the sport of tennis!
How about the match between henin and capriati?
Venus and Serena we're my role models as female tennis player's and athlete's..... They meant a lot to me growing up watching as a kid two of the greatest tennis players of all time... Venus and Serena made me realize to go out and chase your dreams and to never give up no matter what and I took that and ran with it on achieving my dreams..... Like Richard Williams says "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail" I use that quote everyday to purse my dreams and everyday I don't feel like purse my dreams I go back to that quote and remind myself you can't give up now..... #WelcometotheWilliamsshow #TwoGoats #VenusWilliams #SerenaWilliams
Nicely done sisters! Nicely done! Go Venus!🎾🎾🎾🎾
Venus was the better player back then, but Serena caught up real fast
Thanks you very math
awesome!
Can't imagine being king Richard watching both of his daughters playing against each other.
I hope Serena can get #24. Coronavirus has postponed the French Open and probably Wimbledon. At 38, time is her biggest enemy right now.
Jonathan Rice I hope so too ! I hope she’s working on her fitness
MrCreative242 A middle aged athlete needs to be in top form to have a hope of competing with the youngsters. Even then it’s hard.
Jonathan Rice very true! Cause these youngsters legit watched her so they train with power and speed
Sadly, it doesn't look like it's going to happen. Like Federer, time has finally caught up with her.
What’s scary was Serena was playing top notch and years later she got wayyyyy better
And Vénus Williams
I didn’t like that comment that the commentators were asking about they bet that they didn’t have new tennis balls when they were growing up in Compton.... tf
It would be better if you made the video with black frames instead of these blue ones
Diana Ross singing GOD Bless America before the match, the stadium mood was festive, but 2 days later, things in America would change forever.
Best people ever
Damn, back when Puma was relevant.
they're still on track & field and soccer I think.
Vous avez me manquez beaucoup
That was fun.
For a first time all Williams final, best points 32:53 33:53 42:02 44:16 48:08. Quality wasn't there and all the best points came in the last 30 minutes of the match! Serena played so loose hitting the net, hitting out and double faulting. Venus cool as usual. 😎
Thank you for this! Helped me find some amazing points
I was there! Row Z! lol
I remember I was there🙏
OMG can you play 2008 Dementieva Jankovic semi - one of the most amazing battles ever - EVER 🥰
Please please please ❤️
When players are called out on a foot fault, they should ask the line person which fault was it and challenge the call. Use hawk for that too!
Imagine being a child in this family...you will have no shortage of tennis trainers🙂🙂
Whats serena’s sign?😅 she is one of those that hates to lose more than loving to win, venus loves to win more…love the differences in their personalities
I was born on this year
It’s so eerie to know 3 days after this, 9/11 happened.
51:25 BRANDY 😭
That would be annoying to lose against your own sister of all people😂
She grew up so fast. Good job !!
50:07 that Ball was so in bruh
Before this match was like throw the game sis 50/50 split I'm not trying to be here all night 😂😂😂
Interesting to note that as brilliant movers as these two were, their footwork wasn't in the same class. It often resulted in errors or weaker shots when rapid foot adjustments were needed. Players like Justine Henin started to pick up on that and started hitting the ball hard and deep down the middle of the court, because both sisters weren't quite as strong when getting out of the way of the ball. Both of them absolutely brilliant though when sprinting.
Well.....Venus footwork led to 7 Grand Slams, 49 career titles and $42,000,000 prize money.
Serena's footwork led to 23 Grand Slams, 73 career titles and $94,000,000 career prize money.
Henin's footwork led to 7 Grand Slams, 43 career titles and $20,000,000 prize money.
Venus and Henin head to head record is Venus (7) - Henin (2).
Serena and Henin head to head is Serena (8) - Henin (6)
Venus reminds me sooo damn much of my older daughter.
When venus was better than serena
Who won this match? I can't see
This was a bittersweet win for Venus, she couldn't properly celebrate because 9/11 happened right after this tournament.
Yeah I knew Serena was always the best of the sisters in performing and Beauty and Serena got that Fire , Sway in a woman’s way GO Serena NUMBER 1
How is beauty comparison coming in here? Stop it please.
1million 2hundred and 75$ you go girl.
King Richard brought me there ☺️
♥️♥️♥️
The audio on this is crap in one ear you can hear the sounds of the court on the other you can hear the lips of the commentators
Venus was so fast back then
Strangely, both Venus and Serena had one relative weakness in their movement and that was getting out of the way of the ball when it was hit at them. Players like Justine Henin started to realise that and started hitting the ball hard and deep down the middle. Both sisters could struggle with that at times. I guess it illustrates the difference between speed and footwork. Both sisters had amazing speed at running down shots, but didn't have the fine footwork that's needed to make very rapid adjustments to get in position when the ball is up close.
I couldn’t imagine playing my little sister who was trained by the same person I was trained by
Venus VS Kvitova US Open 2017!
I wonder when the next grand slam final between sisters will be.
5050 lol
This was Venus's 4th Slam, and Serena held 1 Slam at that time, then they met in 4 consecutive Slam finals. (Serena completing the Serena slam) I always wondered how that would have changed the William sisters dynamic if Venus had won those 4 consecutive slams....that would have put her 8 slams to Serena's 1 Slam. I guess we will never know...lol
👏👏👏
I wonder how many millions of times they have played together since they were kids.
