Extended Highlights: Serena Williams vs. Victoria Azarenka | 2019 Indian Wells First Round

[@cdrshernandez1164]

Why is no one talking about the insanely heartwarming embrace and chat at the net?? What a way to finish an equally incredible match. I hope this friendship lasts for many many years :)

[@aakoch6062]

I love it ❤ , very rare nowadays unfortunately. By the way I just watched disgrace behaviour of Ostapenko after match with Vika in Doha 2024...

[@justincartwright252]

Tennis Twitter was ON FIRE during this match. So many people were watching and so many people enjoying it. These two bring out the best in each other in a way the other girls don't. Vika seemed to find this level toward the end of the year, and that's only a positive. The game needs her at a high level! And Serena is still around at 39. Incredible.

[@starside7]

It's such a shame that this high quality match is only 2nd round but it feels like a championship final! Serena and Vika were on fire!

[@alvinbenjamin3482]

Seems like a championship game. Its worth the money you pay for...

[@deniyahsjourney2748]

I could watch them play everytime

[@rneely2111]

you aint lying! Every time they play my heart races. I love the embrace at the end. Pure respect~

[@33ladyRAM]

[@michellesmith4975]

YES!!! Such quality players! The best vs the VERY Best! Great Match!

[@ferleenjoseph7831]

NO ALL DAY ALL NIGHT AM GREEDY THERE LOL

[@uchihaitachi5905]

8:20 - Serena always has the humility to applaud a great shot from an opponent.

[@comfortagyemfra3144]

Yes she does and I love her for that

[@mrrogers302]

She respects great tennis, even if she's mad about it. Lol

[@pariswebb5252]

Exactly, Serena respects a good game.

[@perryhughes9429]

Vica does it was well.

[@freddiedeane6916]

For me the match of the year

[@brendabendigo27]

I really miss these two rivalries in all the last grand slams. They are now mothers,, but still hungry for the game!

[@gessylordgessy8987]

Now you're served. Just watch tomorrow us open semi final. For me it much more like a final ,,,,,😋😋

[@KungLao92]

TiD dis daE!!!!

Match of the year !!!! This match was amazing

[@fishthefish5307]

Best match of 2019 even though it was straight sets

[@joshuaallen7826]

I cant wait to see my girl win 24 and 25 in 2020!

[@sherillprince3752]

OKAY!!!!!

[@ebitulagha3198]

as do i! I'm certain

[@mrrogers302]

From your mouth to God's ears.

[@mrrogers302]

Joe Ann You mean in 2010 when she hurt it? Tbh, if she hadn't missed that year, I don't think she would have won as many slams as she has. She probably would have won several more and retired after 2012.

[@sumnahlennon4516]

LOL that's unfortunately not happening

[@aaronwilkins1843]

Not often you see the first 7 games of a WTA match last 45 minutes. Incredible.

[@secrets.295]

Omg really? That's crazy.

[@cherylrougier455]

I think I've watch this match like 20 times already

[@lhinkle7160]

I like watching both of them play tennis.

[@ferleenjoseph7831]

Me a few time too n Not tired oops going on rewind now bye

[@cherylrougier455]

I'm like at 40

[@leezafeyisetan2774]

I enjoyed every second of this match. Wow, this is just a masterpiece. Congrats Serene and Victoria. Love you Rena.

[@lorrainecharles9202]

I really 💘 the energy of these 2 fun but fine athletes. 💘 Rena

[@mandidikana3032]

Such an amazing match between 2 great fighters and awesome tennis players. Queen Serena is relentless, no words...and this takes nothing away from how amazing Vika is! Well done to these 2 legends by right. ❤❤

[@cyriljenkins5638]

the most incredible power match i've seen all year "touche" ...

[@33ladyRAM]

I love Serena but I love Victoria as well. I really hope she can get back witin the top 10 again. Phenomenal match!

[@azeezat8774]

Still possible 🙏🏽

[@Mamba0809]

Wooooow wooooow wooooow. The Queen of tennis is back. No one can break Serena but herself. What a game!!!!

[@apaarmaheshwari8673]

Even though their rivalry is kind of lopsided it is still very entertaining. Because most matches between them have been so physical and intense. It is amazing to watch both of them play against each other.

[@bryanmartin5901]

I love how Azarenka in her USO QF press conference was like “yeah we weren’t playing very well at Indian Wells 2019” lmao 😂 and then this highlight. No doubt they’ve both improved but still

[@supergaltricia2143]

This was an intense match from start to finish....true friendship at the end there ❤️❤️❤️

[@cohenbeyers5912]

These two always deliver on quality tennis I'm a serena fan❤️ but if vica had to win I wouldn't be upset she's fantastic 💯❤️

[@azuremelanimelover4life301]

Now these are the types of highlights that I love! Nice and long!!! I see you WTA, fantastic job :)

[@cyriljenkins5638]

i love watching these two champion queens compete , they bring out the best in eachother 💪🏾💪🏾🎾🎾🏆🏆

[@missmsmrs.7309]

That's what I call AMAZING, INTERESTING, EXCITING, RADICAL TENNIS!!!! Way to go Ladies!!!!

[@davidtaase7504]

Awesome match! Great to see two of the O.Gs still at it

[@irenendunge405]

The bun went up..it was time for battle royale...

[@glommyan]

One of the best matches of all time with WB 2009 SF vs Dementieva

[@black_nebula]

I’m just patiently waiting for Coronavirus to end, and these girls to get back to the top of the game and give us real electrifying tennis again

[@Mister_kipling]

Passion personified !!

[@mohcinemger757]

Yeees

[@worldhealthrn]

Serena is such a chatty lovebug at the finish line... when she wins 😂#heartsoulmindofachampion🤗... nothing but big love for these two inspiring women

[@chanjiewan6823]

If you look closely, she did not instigate the chat. She was okay with a shake and bye but Vika always disarms her. Serena is never chatty unless she gets to the trophy and has to speak.

[@Yezzurski]

This entire match was everything all the way up until the hug at the end. 👏🏾

[@khanyingosi9229]

Wanted to watch Vika ❤️ play like that one more time, she was so agressive

[@Praise-Him2]

Serena never wants to lose against azarenka even though they are friends 😂🙌🏾🎾🏆👏🏾

[@cyriljenkins5638]

they compliment/challenge each other's game ...

[@ianirungu8849]

No one ever wants to lose to anyone bro

[@randocommando6355]

Ian Irungu lol they trying to make it seem like its only Serena who doesn’t like losing. Everybody hates losing when you’re a professional athlete. Damn even if you’re amateur

[@davidmarshall44]

But she doesn't try to Destroy Vika because the are really good friends off the court!!

[@Praise-Him2]

David Marshall exactly!

[@ajollypanda4175]

I love their friendship and the fact they still have such a competitive and fierce nature int heir matches

[@mas.wahyusantoso]

The best rivalry in the latter half of Serena's career. Azarenka has always been a class act!

I thought vika would be back after this match. Hopefully next year we could a revival.

QUEEN RENA

[@dbj4th443]

Best I've seen vika play in a long time. Still there but her inconsistency is letting her down. Hope she bounce back next season

[@py8551]

She is so good and crazy I like her so much

[@tdavis9865]

Love the fire from both of these players!

[@ricoa2681]

No doubt about the talent of Andrescu, no doubt neither that Serena in this final fought herself- it looks like she did not want to win the 24th- Unbeatable when shes challenging herself. Good luck Serena for 2020!!

[@jef7440]

much respect to each other... love them both... hope Victoria can get her groove back.

[@Jhonfreddy15]

This match and one between Venus and Kvitova , just the day after👌👌👌🤩🤩🤩

[@owenbeharry8478]

Jhonfreddy15 yes. Best serving from two player in one match I have ever seen on the women’s tour.

[@RichTake]

@@owenbeharry8478 That 2014 Wimbledon match brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. Two amazons on court in battle. It was breathtaking to watch.

[@NicolasBanayad]

You can see and feel Azarenka's lo ve and huge respect to Serena when they met at the net with her big smile, big hug and that kiss!!!!

[@bujjivallepu4850]

Azarenka is way too better than top 10 now.. always gr8 matches they produce.. serene and Azarenka.. respect for both

[@secrets.295]

These is what makes a great champion. Both of them never give up, never once stop chasing the balls. Azarenka would have won a lot more grand slams if it wasnt for Williams.

[@iamgersonjm]

Increíble que dos madres puedan dar este nivel de espectáculo, brevísimo!!!!!

[@carlosramirez887]

Impresionates ambas... ojala vuelvan a los numero 1, Lo merecen. Las otras son efímeras en el ranking.

[@tjg801]

I can’t tell if Serena is fast or if the other player is not good at placing the ball. Some balls she looks like she is moving very slow, but she gets there and wins the point.

[@joang5678]

What an incredible match! Wow!

[@tanbee6022]

Gone and turn that 10 to a 1. Cause she's coming for the number one spot again.
