Womens Final

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The final of the US Open was between American Serena Williams and Belerus Victoria Azarenka. Serena broke early by winning the first game and the only point Azerenka would get was her perfect serve. Azarenka broke back in a poor game for Serena as she had made errors we had not seen from Serena. The wind did seem to be a bit of a problem at the start. Azerenka was then able to hold serve as this does look at this stage like it might be an interesting match. Each player did hold serve until Williams got ahead 6-5 but there were some quality shots both from Serena and Victoria in that game. Serena won the set after what I would call a poor game from Victoria Azarenka. Serena only needs one more set now to win. Serena won 7 games to 5

 

Serena got the early break in the second but both had mistakes and quality in the first game. Serena looks quality at this stage as she is able to hold and lead the set 2-0 and looks very impressive. Everything then went on serve to make Serena lead by 5 games to 4 and serve for the championship. Serena then seemed to have a bit of a mental crisis as she lost her first and second points on double faults.

 

 Azeranka fought her way back to 5-5 with a quality shot especially as she was 4-1 down her courage to get back is quite impressive.

 

Serena then hit a quality shot to give her a triple break point and Azarenka gets a little bit of luck with a shot being called in by millimetres but Serena does again get the chance to serve for the match and starts with an ace. Serena then has a double fault and looses the game which puts it into a tie break.

 

Azarenka was a lucky girl. At the start of the tie breaker Serena seemed to be taking control but a quality point that Serena defended for her life put Victoria back into it and she did it again to make the scores level. Azarenka then got the lead in this tie break for the first time. And Serena made an error to give Azarenka set point. But Serena does not give up she fights to bring herself back level in the set and what a point to get. Azarenka was then able to win the set by 8 points to 6 and put us into a final set.

The first 3 games went on serve until Serena got another break but this game did have its beautiful shots also with a pass shot to give Azaranka a point and another great one from Williams. Williams then comes back with a beautiful lob shot that makes you think she may have a this game. As Williams hits consecutive aces to lead 4-1. Serena does get the double break to lead 5-1 and it looks like curtains for Azarenka. Serena then goes to make a beautiful instinctive shot that makes you think this is her game now and no one can beat her abd she has her match points. She had 2 and she needed 2.

 

Serena Williams US Open champion 2013 and for me she deserves it for one match where she won 6-0, 6-0 and that tells me that she is ready for anything she wins 7-5 6-7 6-1 as she jumps into the air you know that she can not believe the performances she has given to win this title.
