HOW DAVENPORT LOST THIS MATCH IS BEYOND ME!! Honestly this just shows how mentally tough Serena is! She was being thoroughly outplayed for a set and a half but she found a way. Serena is truly the GOAT she’s one of the only players that I have full confidence that even on her off days she has a really good chance of winning!
Yes she is🌸🌸🌸
She has control, athleticism, and everything in between.
Because Davenport was never built to go a long, three set match against a Williams sister. Same reason she lost to Venus in Wimbledon final the same year. With her inferior athleticism compared to them, her only chance was to put those two away early
She lost confidence immediately after Serena won that set
Lindsay had a tendency to talk herself out of winning. She'd had a long semi-final but I'm sure she could have put up more resistance in the final set. I felt that she convinced herself that her only chance was to win in two sets, and as soon as she didn't she just gave up. That attitude was the difference between three slams and about a dozen which she could have won with her talent.
What most don't know is that Serena sustained a back injury before her 3rd rd match and somehow fought against quality opponents and her injury to win the tournament.
If you notice in this clip you will hear the commentators mention Serena doesn't look comfortable, they even said she still doesn't look comfortable. If Serena wasn't playing with an injury in this tournament would some of her matches have gone 3 sets? Who knows.
I think the question is how did Davenport lose to a injured Serena and the question after that is how did a injured Serena win the entire tournament?
if you're a davenport fan, this is one of those matches that you don't want to watch again
Lol 😂 yea lol 😂
Yes lol it reminds me of my feelings with the Serena vs Kerber final in 2016 😩😩
I have a question for Davenport fans, I loved her when she played even embarrassed myself in front of her at the staples center when the tour championship was played there, but what I wondered is did anyone else notice live how much she curses at herself?
Yeahhhh, I remember tearing up.
The only thing worse was Wimbledon final the same year.
@@Blinkncali21not just Davenport but all athletes do. Thats when the mental toughness comes to play and you tear yourself apart losing. Many greats even Serena herself swears and gets frustrated at herself.
Love them both. Lindsay was never a great mover on the court, but she is one of the purest ball strikers you will ever see. The 2005 Wimbledon final between her and Venus is one of my all-time favorite matches.
I love Serena but I was shocked Davenport didn’t win this. Serena fought back and Davenport mentally backed down in frustration. Davenport was super talented but always struggled to find the fighter within her. If you could get on top of her for any length of time, she would mentally break. The hardest part was getting on top of her because her game was rock solid when she was calm. Serena, also super talented, never ever mentally broke. She was always fighting until the last point no matter what.
Her mental strength is rivalled by NO OTHER
Lindsay has the most beautiful groundstrokes - generates power with great mechanics.

Crazy match 😄 both are great players ❤
The scoreboard wasn't accurate. It was 6-2 in the first set but once the third set starts it says 6-0.
Thank you for clearing that up I thought I was confusing the score.
So odd. I noticed that too! Is that how it aired originally? Big goof.
I felt sorry for Lindsay she didn't win at least one of two matches: this and wimbledon to venus. She played so well in 2005, was nr. 1, and think the best that year, also in those two matches (altho the venus match was really a tie in level).
I really thought Davenport was going to win this match initially. Because Serena injured her back before the 3rd round of this tournament, so I thought she was going to lose every match after the back injury though I still had hope that she would win. She really amazed me in this tournament, to win while being injured against quality opponents is so hard to do but Serena found a way.
Because of how pure Davenport's ground strokes are and how consistent she can be and her tennis smarts, I wanted Serena to win but she was up against an experienced quality opponent so I thought that maybe she didn't have anything left. But Serena really showed me in this match that her will to win against all odds is 2nd to none.
Davenport said herself through her Tennis Channel gig, that she broke down in tears in the bathroom, in-between the 2nd and 3rd sets.
Este es uno los tantos partidos cuando ya Davenport estaba agotada ya ni se movía 😢 sufriendo 😖
GOAT 🐐🐐
This has to to Serena’s least enthusiastic reaction to winning a slam that wasn’t against Venus
She spent it all taking Sharapova down in the Semi Final.
SERENA FOREVER NR 1 ! 🎈🎾🎈🎾🎈🎾🎈⚘💖⚘💖⚘🇵🇱
What happened in the third set? 🤔
serena won Australian open vs her venus won wimbledon final vs her
Am I the only one who heard a let sound at 7:37?
Seriously I thought davenport was going to win before Serena took that medical break in the middle of the second set with davenport winning the first set and it was almost even in the second set at that point. Davenport had two chances to add to her grandslam singles titles tally in the two preceding slams the Wimbledon 2004 and US Open 2004. In both games she lost to 17 year old Sharapova and a inexperienced kuznetsova respectively after winning the first set. But here she played really well to beat Molik and dechy to reach the finals. Till that break she was on course to win but After that break a storm came and rolled past davenport in no time.
You made a small error, Dokic didn't play AO from 2002 to 2006. Lindsay beat her in 2001. in "the most famous first round". She beat Natalie Dechy in the semis, I think you thought about her.
@@kole1212 yep dechy of France
Also, she had chances to win Wimbledon 2005 against Venus. Davenport was serving for the match at 5-4 in the second set was 4-2 third set and had a Match point
@@marfu1119 she was serving for the match in the second set when it was 6-5, not 5-4
7:42 was def a let right there how could she not hear the beep
What was going on with Serena’s serve here? Strange looking motion, not her usual. 🧐
I think she got lazy at the end of 2004-2005 with the serve. Then got it back during 2006 us open. Then masted it again in 2007 Australian open.
She was injured so she couldn’t serve properly.
@@arathgomez615 not lazy, LOL
Injury
She was injured
At 7:37 the serve was soooo let! wtf?
I heard it & so did Davenport
Arthur Jones : that's right, the beep was heard, but they didn't repeat the point and gave it to serena, quite a robbery!!
That let was so easy to hear, too.
Interesting context that Serena lost to Davenport to previous 2 meetings prior to this match… the moment Davenport missed that easy backhand cross court put away, she definitely let Serena back into the match…
Both Graf and Hingis succumbed in straight sets to Davenport when she played this kind of tennis in slam finals. Not Serena… Serena is the top player with the best WL record vs Davenport
Lindsay wasn't successful in grand slams overall. She must be the only player to have ended more times the year as number 1 (4) than grand slam titles (3). The first record is much more comparatively impressive than the latter. I mean players like Kerber (awesome hall of fame player but no where near Davenport if you ask me) have 3 slams. But i think only Serena, Steffi, Martina N., have finished more than 4 times as nr. 1 (in newer times)
Serena in this match was being far surpassed, Lindsay Davenport was practically going over her like a steamroller and Serena pretended to be injured so that her rival would relax and think that she did not need to play at the top against an injured rival and that is how Davenport loses concentration and then loses confidence when seeing how Serena is not injured, but it was too late Serena's big trap had hurt !!
Serena is a cheater, she always was and has been like that, like in the match against Jennifer Capriati at Wimbledon, Serena pretended to have an upset stomach, to break her rival's rhythm in at a critical moment, at the US Open also against Capriati and against Naomi Osaka arguing with the chair umpire to damage the momentum of his rival, also against Justin Henin at Roland Garros, what a pity that to win he has to cheat and resort to dirty lies like these!
Shame on her!!
You can tell Serena is injured by her service motion. Davenport didn’t even say sorry for the let point she won. She always had a bad attitude on court. Davenport flopped in 3 set finals due to her poor movement. Don’t blame that on Serena. Serena threw up on camera during the other match. Stop being bitter she’s the greatest of all time.
Cry harder😭😭
😂😂
Seriously dude? Shame on you not knowing the history of Serena as a player , how bout Henin always calling the trainer when she was losing always or djoker playing possum early in his career .. so sit down and stop trying to take away from the greatest and a black woman. Who you seem to be coming after
You dare to bring up Capriati...honestly?! She blatantly admitted after the match that she knew some of those balls were clearly in, but she chose to say nothing or award Serena the point since 'she also deserved a little luck sometimes'.
