I already have a feeling Serena is going to start off slow and annoy the crap out of me

 

[thadangerousmind]

They should have had the damn roof closed from the beginning.

 

[Sinner]

Wasn't rain in the forecast?  

 

[ahuangtoronto]

Game delays at 4am EST lol

 

[thadangerousmind]

TURN UP SERENA! 1 set from #19!

 

[otakuant]

Made it home just in time for the end of the first set. Let's go, Serena!

 

[thadangerousmind]

Serena is pissed! GODLY service games are the result. That's fine with me.

 

[heliumclinton]

She's scary when she start talking to herself

 

[thadangerousmind]

2 games from history baby!

 

[heliumclinton]

them aces

 

[otakuant]

1 game away... The pressure's on Maria now.

 

[thadangerousmind]

UGH! It's too late for high drama!

 

[mr marcus]

nice way to end it

 

[mpire]

Lmao at it being 3766 days since Maria's beaten Serena

 

[thadangerousmind]

19 WITH THE ACE BABY!

 

[aepps20]

Awesome

 

[otakuant]

That ace that hit the net was such a buzzkill. You just knew she was going for it again, though.

Congrats to Serena for #19!! Great second set from both players.

 

[tsamshox]

Serena is a beast. Her serve is too good....best ever in women's tennis. BEAST.

 

[thadangerousmind]

Martina looks so bitter. Eat that humble pie you old hater!

 

[thadangerousmind]

Sharapova played a great 2nd set even though I hate her she upped the level on 2 match points.

 

[mr marcus]

Martina looks so bitter. Eat that humble pie you old hater!

Hard to smile after a L

 

[thadangerousmind]

Now Pam Shriver is saying that with this win Serena is the GOAT. She'll be right back to hating around the French Open.

 

[otakuant]

I liked Maria's speech. It was nice to hear her say some really kind words about Serena. Wasn't expect her to mention that it's been a long time since she's beaten Serena.

 

[thadangerousmind]

She says it all of the time. She's said more than once that she doesn't consider it a rivalry since she hasn't won in 10 years. They hate each other no matter how many kind words get said after finals speeches.

Glad that Maria hung in there, I was expecting a rout.

If her health and motivation aren't in question, Serena should be able to surpass Martina in 2-3 years tops.
