Serena was too awesome prior to having her cutie pie. She’s brought her weight down recently, but not enough to compensate for her age. I know she has another 1 or 2 Grand Slams in her. I’m convinced that Serena and Barty are the two smartest players in tennis. Barty doesn’t give her opponents time to engage in back and forth volley, which is smart. But Serena still can win, but only with a couple of adjustments! Serena told Barty she was too good to retire, now Serena has to take her own advice!
@@marjorjorietillman856 You're delusional. Have you not watched her since she came back? A GS is a long haul. I was actually surprised she made 3 finals after the baby. The problem is she got spanked in those 3 finals. Not even close. Just like Novak at the US Open last year the legs just don't have it or the back is sore or the shoulder hurts. Age is the great equalizer. For one match she could beat anyone but to put together 7 matches over 2 weeks, asking a lot.
It was interesting to learn that Serena was one of the players who sent a message to Barty while she was away from tennis, encouraging her to return because she's too good not to.
And, this is Serena playing with all her super powers! If Serena isn’t the GOAT then no other female can ever be. Pre-pregnancy and almost dying, she would’ve resumed her no. I status. Serena was so GOATISH that her mom wasn’t even moved anymore with her AWESOME playing!!
Serena Williams 'The Great' has also become a mother and almost died giving birth. A painful Caesarean session to deliver her daughter, Blood clot issues following that and continued injecting of Blood thinners (Anti-coagulants) to keep her alive still. She has not trained as she did pre-pregnancy and so she is not the athlete she used to be but be aware that those abilities are all still there and she just needs to want to knuckle down and concentrate on Tennis 100% and she will be unbeatable again. Are you aware that after giving birth she has reached 4 Grand Slam finals and this is even at her weakest....Sometimes you people (who do NOT know the character of Serena; A 'William Sister') should look at facts in order to produce accurate analysis!!! (When Serena wants to play Tennis, no one can touch her)
And this is why Serena is the 🐐. She said “she has such a bright future” and that’s why she has to be ready for her. Barty goes on to be #1 Never hate with her regardless of what everyone tries to stir up ☕️ 🐸
@@user-be5qg7mr1s Still wouldn’t touch prime Serena she would get wiped off the court just like she did here. You are comparing that to a 40 year old Serena.
@@serveoutwide I think you have a reading and comprehension problem. Barty was far below her peak when they played and it went 3 sets at the FO. So she didn't get " destroyed" you don't know what you are talking about.

Her chance to get the #24 is probably low. But it doesn't matter. Serena is already the GOAT, no matter what. It will take decades to see another woman who could replicate just 75% of her achievements, let alone eclipse her. Winning a GS is very difficult, even in "turbulence" era like now, when anybody could emerge as a GS champion like lottery, only to fade away weeks later, succumbing to much lower-ranked players in Tier 1 tournaments. Serena has tasted various eras when excellent players were still around: Steffi, Venus, Henin, Sharapova, Hingis, Clijsters, Davenport, Capriati, etc. They are all multiple GS titlists. The competition was extremely tight back then, but she still managed to shine above everyone. She also still conquers the youngsters: Kvitova, Halep, Barty, Osaka, etc. Only age could eventually stop her. But her legacy and legendary status is already safely written in the history of tennis forever.
@@user-be5qg7mr1s It seems you haven't followed the Williams Sisters story and their history and 'Never-Say-Die' qualities. The only reason Serena hasn't won multiple Grand Slams after giving birth is because she gave birth and almost died doing that. She also has blood clot issues and has to inject anticoagulants to thin her blood, she has dedicated her time to motherhood instead of concentrating on training 100% as she did before her pregnancy. Being a Williams Sister with that innate steely disposition, if she wishes and she knuckles down once again to just physical training and Tennis, she will be unbeatable again!!!

Football Winner I don’t think making grand slams finals is necessarily shit. Maybe for her standards but any other player would love to be in her shoes to even taste what a GS final feels like.
@@kriskanei7369 yeh but the way she’s playing . Serena was fit and skinny here . She only loses to players like ivanovic henin and other stars in her prime
2014,15,16 Was Serena's window to break all records . She only won the US open in 2014 and that was her last she only won Wimbledon in 2016 despite having reached 2 other finals. Her 2016 Australian open was her best tournament ever but she switched off in the Finals and lost to Kerber. I guess 2015 after that missed calendar slam is the year when her mental toughness started declining and now the physical aspect has given in as well. Anyway she is still the Goat regardless.
All her mental struggles are because she’s been chasing history the moment she won that 2013 USO. The only time that she wasn’t a tournament away from matching any record was when she earned 18 grand slams, and the pressure was taken off for a while, and she went on to win the next three. Her biggest issue is that she plays the history books instead of her opponents, and it causes horrible performances like she had in all those recent slam finals. When the pressure is off, she beats the top players fairly easily.
@@DeepSeas.. Yah i agree with your paragraph but the last line is no longer true anymore not just because of her age but these girls that she meets now hve belief and they have raised their game . I just watched Wimbledon finals and i realize that Serena's path would hve been very complicated if she had not pulled out with an injury. Kerber could hve beaten her in the 3rd or Coco could hve beaten her in the 4th round and she was definitely going to lose to Barty in the Semis. I know this because she is terrible in handling slices and Barty is a better server/slicer compared to Vinci who sliced her way into the 2015 US Open finals denying Serena her Calendar Slam opportunity.
@@moxide I disagree. Kerber didn’t play that well in the tournament, and Coco isn’t ready yet for the biggest stages. Barty was hot and cold all tournament and honestly is lucky she played Pliskova in the final because Pliskova choked. None of these players are even remotely as good as Serena on grass. And Serena literally beat Barty in her first major after pregnancy at the French Open in 2018, which Barty won the next year. Barty’s slices are a liability, not a strength because she uses them as a crutch. Using the Vinci match as evidence that Serena can’t handle slices, when Vinci had never take a set off Serena before that match is silly. Serena lost because she was literally chasing multiple of the greatest records in tennis, not because she can’t handle slices. Serena grew up in a time when players actually had variety, she isn’t bothered by it. People really need to stop comparing Serena to inferior players and acting like the best player on grass on the tour is somehow an underdog to the like of Coco Gauff and Kerber. The only players who are truly favorites against Serena are Osaka on hard court and Muguruza on clay. There’s a reason why Serena was still the favorite for the tournament before it started. I’m proud of Barty though because she’s injured and clearly wasn’t playing her best tennis but she just a managed to hold on.
@@DeepSeas.. Barty would of beaten Serena tho . Barty would drawn Serena to net and that . Btw Barty played really well in the semis 38 winners and 16 unforce errors . Also 2018 is the year when Barty struggled against the top players she was 7loses and 1 win against top ten players then . Barty wasn’t that well in clay in 2018

Serena already sent Hingis, Graf, & Henin into retirement with their slice backhands, Ash would be overwhelmed by Serena's pace.
These were the years when Barty could have proven her worth but she squandered her opportunities. Now that the WTA have either retired or are past their prime Barty is back on tour winning everything. Waited till the era got weak, worked out and returned to dominate a sub par field. 🙄

Barty didn't have the slice in her game back then, she was using the two handed backhand but it was weak. When she returned to tennis after taking a break from the game they replaced the two handed backhand with the slice to strengthen her game
@@mennis1966 she hadn't developed the slice back then. Eshhh, players develop, get better. This is barty as a junior, wildcard into her home open. First round match. Long freaking time ago
Serena is not the best ever period.graf in her prime and at her best would destroy williams. Serena one more slam than steffi but its taken her how long to achieve this. Graf golden slam.number 1 player for longer than anyone. Better on all surfaces.better athlete and much stronger mentally than williams. Plus serena williams is one dimensional. All she has is.power and a very ugly game.yuck
It has taken Serena longer to get 23 Slams. Guess what? Graf was busier and played a lot more tennis to win 22 Slams. It isn't always about how long a player has been in the WTA. It's mostly about how much (or less) tennis played. Graf in her prime struggled badly to contain Monica Seles' power regarded by many to be the strongest at the time, until Serena (and Venus) arrived. Serena is one dimensional? That's an obvious indication that you don't know Serena's talent. - Please click and watch - ruclips.net/video/D4lqBB_wXQU/видео.html
@@magnetmac1 Really? You need to do some research. Graf has a winning record against Seles and did before the unfortunate incident that robbed us of what would have been an epic rivalry. No female covered the court better than Steffi and also had that rally ending forehand as a weapon. Steffi also used the slice better than anyone except maybe Martina. Barty has a lot of Steffi's qualities athletically but doesn't come close to the forehand.
@@adiracquetball Before the stabbing, this was how their head-to-head record stood - 6-4 Graf led. 3-3 in Slams (a tie). This paints a picture of a fierce rivalry they had in a WTA Graf once dominated until Seles arrived. So it is quite accurate to conclude that Graf struggled to contain Seles' power. The one thing you commented that I agree with is that Graf was a better mover than Serena - no argument there. Graf was faster with better court coverage (not to suggest that Serena isn't good). But to reiterate, Graf played a whole lot career tennis than what Serena has currently played now despite the fact that Serena has stay way longer in the WTA tour. Now a prime Graf against a prime SERENA? lol. That's what the argument is about, and you think Graf can win? Good luck with Graf containing Serena's power. That's all I can say.
@@magnetmac1 I have no doubt in my mind prime Steffi would handle prime Serena. They would probably go .500 against each other. My guess is much like being 6-4 against Monica, Steffi would be 6-4 against Serena. The stabbing robbed us what would have been an epic rivalry. F Gunther Parche! You keep talking about Serena's power. If you're off balance because your opponent covers the court better than anyone you have ever played and puts you in uncomfortable positions then your power can be greatly neutralized. It's not like Steffi didn't rip the ball. Also racquet technology has improved so Steffi would hit the ball harder. Tough to compare eras. They are two of the all time greats.
Lol you do realize it's a harder achievement to do that over several years right? More varied players in the field and playing different generations is no small feat.

Is this the slam she lost to Ivanovic later? I've been following WTA for decades but still couldn't recall the winner of this slam
Yes, she lost to Ivanovic at the 4th round and Li Na won the tournament.
@@themsharapova8 right she beat Cibulkova!! How could i forget!!
Creo q Aslhy aprendio tennis ese dia con serena
Barty had a great serve here but her FH wasn't anything even remotely resembling the absurdly potent weapon it was when she was #1
Q bestia serena q minonnnnn!!!!!!
The only thing that can tame Ashleigh is power and precision = Serena.
This match was 9 years ago, lots has chànged
@@seaweed1992 Ashleigh is still very young. I don't think it is this this far.
@@trommelbiel this is ages ago bro. Barty is no 1 world NOW. her repitoire is federer like and will dismantle serena
@@user-be5qg7mr1s Your statement is contradictory. The fact is that A prime Serena will demolish a prime Ashleigh on any surface. I am certain you know that.
I am also a big fan of Ashleigh but the truth must be told.
@@trommelbiel how so? I'm pointing out this match was 2014. Barty was not come into her own yet. Your statement is not a fact because it hasn't happened yet and serena is about done with the game.Barty is the true no 1 and will probably stay for a while
A dismantling. Loved it!!
Let’s just say Williams dominated with her power, service and returns during her era.
Dios mio perfecta serena y Aslhy erratica mal!!!!!!🤡🤡🤡🤡

If only Ash uses her slice backhand more..
Serena has played many, many slicers in her career. What would have Barty,s slicing done to her? Wishful thinking My friend.
Not even Graf's slice could save her when Serena was only 17. Barty's pales in comparison just throw the towel in already.
@@monica012077 and yet Serena lost to Roberta Vinci in the US Open who had a really slow slice backhand and mixed the point up. Imagine what barty could do with her better serve, slice and touch. How embarrassing for her loose to a slicer.
@@funkyguy99 That was one match where Serena was nervous attempting to break a record. Serena wouldn't lose to her again and Vinci definitely couldn't beat Venus after that match. Barty will never enjoy the success Serena has earned, she's just not that good. But after so many decades of black excellence I know you're looking for that white savior and Barty represents that to you. Serena already sent Hingis, Graf, & Henin into retirement with their slice backhands, Ash would be overwhelmed by Serena's pace.
@@funkyguy99 that was less about the slice and more about Serena playing horribly. Did you even watch the match? She was nervous as HELL
Ma gandesc la Serena si atatea meciuri si turnee castigate in mod " " "iliicit, ",ea folosind substante interzise!!
Too old and too slow now
Is that your life story?
Omg look how pudgy Barty was back in the day 😂
Was? You mean still lmao
@@monica012077 compared to then she is extremely fit and slim; but I suppose she still has a slightly frumpy body type
Serena in her prime beats everyone else to this point.
She lost to Ivanovic at the next round
These were the years when Barty could have proven her worth but she squandered her opportunities. Now that the WTA have either retired or are past their prime Barty is back on tour winning everything. Waited till the era got weak, worked out and returned to dominate a sub par field. 🙄
proven her worth? she was literally still a teenager, 17 years old when this match was played.
@@TheBajanCanadiansOtherAccount I don't remember her winning any slams in 2014, 2015, 2016, etc. Serena at 17 already won her first and Monica Seles was number 1 in the world.
Serena's best days are already behind her. It is very unlikely that she will win another major tournament. Her record will probably stand at 23. I have given up hope that she would get to 24.
Serena took her from her slice game. Awesome match.
Barty DIDNT even slice in this match . And Barty was 17
@@cameronbrown8515 That's what I'm saying, she's known for slices That's her game but she didn't have time to slice and so what if she was 17 that doesn't have anything to do with it.
Barty didn't have the slice in her game back then, she was using the two handed backhand but it was weak. When she returned to tennis after taking a break from the game they replaced the two handed backhand with the slice to strengthen her game
@@mennis1966 no Barty didn’t slice when she was a tenemaher
@@mennis1966 she hadn't developed the slice back then. Eshhh, players develop, get better. This is barty as a junior, wildcard into her home open. First round match. Long freaking time ago
Serena is not the best ever period.graf in her prime and at her best would destroy williams. Serena one more slam than steffi but its taken her how long to achieve this. Graf golden slam.number 1 player for longer than anyone. Better on all surfaces.better athlete and much stronger mentally than williams. Plus serena williams is one dimensional. All she has is.power and a very ugly game.yuck
It has taken Serena longer to get 23 Slams.
Guess what? Graf was busier and played a lot more tennis to win 22 Slams.
It isn't always about how long a player has been in the WTA. It's mostly about how much (or less) tennis played.
Graf in her prime struggled badly to contain Monica Seles' power regarded by many to be the strongest at the time, until Serena (and Venus) arrived.
Serena is one dimensional? That's an obvious indication that you don't know Serena's talent. - Please click and watch -

@@magnetmac1 Really? You need to do some research. Graf has a winning record against Seles and did before the unfortunate incident that robbed us of what would have been an epic rivalry. No female covered the court better than Steffi and also had that rally ending forehand as a weapon. Steffi also used the slice better than anyone except maybe Martina. Barty has a lot of Steffi's qualities athletically but doesn't come close to the forehand.
@@adiracquetball
Before the stabbing, this was how their head-to-head record stood -
6-4 Graf led.
3-3 in Slams (a tie).
This paints a picture of a fierce rivalry they had in a WTA Graf once dominated until Seles arrived. So it is quite accurate to conclude that Graf struggled to contain Seles' power.
The one thing you commented that I agree with is that Graf was a better mover than Serena - no argument there. Graf was faster with better court coverage (not to suggest that Serena isn't good).
But to reiterate, Graf played a whole lot career tennis than what Serena has currently played now despite the fact that Serena has stay way longer in the WTA tour.
Now a prime Graf against a prime SERENA? lol. That's what the argument is about, and you think Graf can win?
Good luck with Graf containing Serena's power. That's all I can say.
@@magnetmac1 I have no doubt in my mind prime Steffi would handle prime Serena. They would probably go .500 against each other. My guess is much like being 6-4 against Monica, Steffi would be 6-4 against Serena. The stabbing robbed us what would have been an epic rivalry. F Gunther Parche! You keep talking about Serena's power. If you're off balance because your opponent covers the court better than anyone you have ever played and puts you in uncomfortable positions then your power can be greatly neutralized. It's not like Steffi didn't rip the ball. Also racquet technology has improved so Steffi would hit the ball harder. Tough to compare eras. They are two of the all time greats.
Lol you do realize it's a harder achievement to do that over several years right? More varied players in the field and playing different generations is no small feat.
