2020 USO SF: Serena Williams vs. Victoria Azarenka

[kskate2]

Serena making a few errors now. Vika will break and miraculously serve out the 2nd set when she couldn't buy a serve before. It will go to a 3rd set where the momentum will shift several times. It's the way of their matches

Serena better do something early if she wants to win this match all momentum has shifted Vika’s way.

 

[Moxie]

That’s what u need to Serena. Grab it or lose it

 

[kskate2]

Ruhroh. Serena asking for the trainer

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I think Serena is done. Unless she can find that extra gear.

 

[kskate2]

Serena gets her ankle re-taped even heavier than normal and has to come back out at deuce to hold serve. She is broken and Vika has all the momentum 2-0

 

[kskate2]

I think Serena is done. Unless she can find that extra gear.

I say stick a fork in her too. Even with an extra gear, Vika would have to have an epic collapse.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Well she got on the board maybe that will motivate her.

 

[kskate2]

4-1. Serena running out of time

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I think Naomi is winning this regardless of whether it is Serena or Vika in the final.

 

[Moxie]

Azareka too good. This is over.

 

[kskate2]

I think Naomi is winning this regardless of whether it is Serena or Vika in the final.

Not necessarily. Vika is great at neutralizing big serves. From the ground they will be equal. It will depend on who plays the big points better.

 

[kskate2]

5-2. Vika one game from sending Serena home in a slam for the first time.

 

[kskate2]

Vika does it! Bye bye Serena and 24

 

[tented]

Ugh ... gutted for Serena, but congrats to Vika.

 

[Michael;Kiwi]

Azarenka has won 11 matches at Flushing Meadows and Osaka has won 10. Whoever gets the record, it should be unbeatable.

 

[kskate2]

Ugh ... gutted for Serena, but congrats to Vika.

We all knew this could happen with the draw from hell and the level she was displaying all tournament. She needed to put Vika away in 2 sets, but apparently she can't maintain that level for 2 sets against the very best

Yep. It needed to be straight sets. Even then, I’m not sure she could have beaten Osaka in the final. I’m becoming increasingly afraid no. 24 is never going to happen.
