Kvitova's smile right at the beginning as she's walking in could stop traffic!!

[@xaviervelez7303]

That scream by Petra is me when Monday's finally over

[@Forever20young]

Xavier Vélez 😂😂😂

[@juztryinnabehonest99]

Me: *when it’s Friday, 5pm*

[@xaviervelez7303]

Y ES

[@househeadericmdhousehead9118]

Xavier Vélez I live for Petra's swack. It's so funny and unique.

[@justincartwright252]

Lmao SAME.

[@arvisjaggamar]

A summary of the highlights for anyone who doesn't have 7 minutes to spare: *Serena wins point* "Ohhhh it's scintillating!! *Serena wins point* "Unbelievable tennis from the champion!!! *Serena wins point* "She's just too good!! WOW!!!" *Petra wins point* "... and Kvitova steals a game." *Serena wins point* "IT JUST GETS BETTER AND BETTER THIS IS AMAZING!!" *Serena loses match* "Excellent tennis from Serena in this loss."

[@amb817]

This is too funny but also true lmao

[@aaron1983]

Arvis_Jaggamar which is why WTA was such a bore, it became a self reinforcing praise fest for one player who was being given easy draws, and exemptions on the use of drugs. If your body hurts or what then thats what God gave you, you use that to play, otherwise let everyone use performance enhancing drugs!

[@domenicoabdulmadjid]

So what... You dont even know how to be a Kvitova fans

[@greenpeace4246]

That’s how fake and bias media is.

[@chetrysaw9489]

Of course, we can't offend, unless, of course, the offended person is white.

[@elijahelisha3763]

I’m in love with tennis

[@trespasser121]

It got a lot more exciting since there are more players vying for top spot.

[@NeoSoul84]

Petra played so well. Her Serve was on fire! I’ve been a fan of hers and waiting for her to ascend to number one! Serena is my girl but Petra was way too good here. Makes you wonder if that knife attack didn’t take place where would she have been by now

[@infallibletruth262]

Absolute rubbish review. serena was back a year after pregnancy and petra found it hard to beat her. not to mention she didn't win that grandslam. Petra is a buck average player nothing special.

[@tolykozin1]

If Petra meets Serena at the Finals of the US Open that will be a match to watch!

[@sinoidaniel]

Serena's game is so impressive! Petra played amazing as well!

[@taoist32]

dan Petra played just as impressive as Serena given that Petra won the match.

[@backupinit]

id say more impressive

[@comunidadaerea2400]

Petra played amazing as well? Petra won, the other woman lost.

[@sinoidaniel]

clearly Petra played better than Serena here :) haha. I am just saying Serena's game impressed me!. I almost felt that though Serena reached the Wimbledon finals, to me her game always looked like a shadow of what it used to be. but in the the last two matches I find it very impressive :)

[@animb19]

This was a great match. I agree with the announcer that this was a great step in the right direction for Serena. She is getting back to that legendary grand slam champion form we all love and admire. Congrats Petra!

[@zabaleta66]

Aside from two decades of experience, Williams is just a servebot. Nothing impressive but power.....

[@roottruthseeker]

serena has a long way to go. i can still see the baby.

[@thoukisth]

We don't All love and admire her ... far from it, those of us who we love tennis we don't love viscous disrespectful, bullies that dominated it and are on the way out finally

[@Forever20young]

Josh White Josh, haven't you ever heard of quality over quantity? This was an incredible match and it took Kvitova playing her best to take out a newly in-form Serena Williams. This type of quality match could have been a grand slam final❗Kvitova won this match more than Serena lost it. Kudos to both players and yes, SERENA is BACK❗🙌😄🤣

[@LookerStenographer]

She's one of the more phenomenal players to watch. She's a role-model and an icon.

[@udaysinghbhati3394]

WTA you are getting better and better with your highlights!! Where were you before??

[@wonderlandian8465]

Its always nice to see improvement after viewer complains, hopefully they keep it up.

[@Xsidaable]

Exactly! Right now I prefer to watch their original highlights than made by someone else. High resolution, good selection of points and long enough to feel the match. As you said, really good improvement.

[@deewells4259]

I couldn’t agree more!!

[@Rrtnns]

You mean now they actually show ONE point won by those who beat Serena? Liberal media bias. Freedom is being shut down.

[@udaysinghbhati3394]

TCIASC Most of the good and entertaining points was won by serena!!

[@raymondhall5970]

Bravo Kvitova. Too good.

[@sk8ingcoach1]

I think we all need to remember that this is Kvitova at her best. She is scary good at her best. Serena is obviously not quite there yet, but you still cannot count her out for US Open. On the other hand even though i absolutely love Kvitova, she is a headcase at slams just like many other top players.

[@ConnorC97]

So hard to watch a match with 2 players I like so much! Heartbreaking somebody had to lose in the 2nd round!

[@evanadam9776]

I understand having Serena's winners from set two, but set one and three should be mostly Kvitova. This video seemed very biased, and I have nothing against either player.

[@DeepSeas..]

Evan Adam Um, no. I watched the entire match and in the first set, Kvitova shut her out with great serves. Serena was fighting on every point for her service games, so that’s why there’s so many more great points on her end. The second set was completely dominated by Serena because Kvitova folded and then the third was mainly filled with great serves by Kvitova.

[@Rrtnns]

Liberal American media, they've destroyed freedom in America.

[@the-backgroundnoise]

Petra has lost so much weight

[@pyro9818]

backgroundnoise Yeah, she seems to be In the best shape of her life. She shouldn’t lose anymore weight, otherwise her she’ll start to lose that power in her groundies

[@black_nebula]

Nasty ass people concerned about women's figures. Tennis has some filthy fans

[@yoshikatsumi6365]

weight plays a huge roll in sports and fitness. i don't really think she has lost a lot of weight, it probably were just a couple of pounds. this has nothing to do with being "filthy" though.

[@black_nebula]

@@yoshikatsumi6365 Lmao yeah men always concerned about how a woman looks. That's real genetleman like

[@jeffreykaufmann2867]

Serena must be around 170 lbs

[@Harthyung]

This is why I adore Kim Clijsters so much, she won her 3rd tournament after came back and it was US OPEN 2009 where she beat both Venus & Serena ( defending champ ) then Woz in the final 😁

[@albertozerain5321]

Hart K , and she never acted like she was the only mother ever to play a sport. I suppose in Serena's case it is a male returning after giving birth so that is unique.

[@deepakmahajan4978]

lol kvitova is the only player I have seen who can hit ball with such force that when she sends it in middle of court no-one can send them back😂

[@netgodzilla1]

Petra at her best is really scary. She is fast and strong. Unlucky for Serena, shes not seeded anymore. She has to face strong players early

[@Hammerton32]

Petra is not that fast. But she is in excellent shape, and it definitely helps her movement. Her groundstrokes were fantastic. Love Petra! Serena's getting better. If she continues on this path, she should be back in champion mode by Aussie Open -

[@taoist32]

Hammerton32 Probably, which means she won’t be at her best at the US Open and of course cannot go to the year end world tour finals.

[@yomismo74]

That's a big problem but more for her rivals than for herself. With a few exceptions (Kerber, Muguruza) who always play their best against her, most tops are still intimidated by Serena, even when she is far from her best

[@serenaistheb.o.a.t]

netgodzilla1 I think the USO will give Serena a seed. They basically changed the rules because of her.

[@nonyeigbozuriked2876]

netgodzilla1 Good for her. It will make her improve better and faster by playing tougher opponents. That is what she needs now. To motivate her and bring up her confidence level. Meanwhile, she had played a lot of tougher opponents in d past including kivitova, Am impressed with her effort so far.

[@malpete]

That’s how u respond to partisan crowd Petra , by winning the match , well done

[@newmennium]

I know. Not sure what I was happier seeing more, Petra beating Serna or Serna losing.

[@Rrtnns]

They rooted for Serena? Cincinnati IS peasant country after all.

[@Rrtnns]

Petra learned that from Djokovic and how he kicked Roger's ass whenever everyone booed him.

[@josephjames3838]

Great match ladies. You both gave us a show of high quality tennis. I'm glad Serena gets to play top players at the beginning of the tournament. She needs that pace to get her game back up to speed. They both looked great!

[@abhishekn9991]

Wta, petra won the match yet most kf the highlights are serena's ? Wtf are you doin ?

[@polo2898]

People love Serena. There’s no question. They are simply giving the people what they want. Great match from both women.

[@roottruthseeker]

thats usually how it is. the winning player never gets the highlights.

[@kikavelf]

Petra had many winners..she isnt only pusher.

[@comunidadaerea2400]

I could see Serena trying to play the same rhythm than Kvitova, and she couldn´t. Is very obvious her age and lost of power. Serena makes all the drama as possible on court, she tries every time with that screams intimidates to her rivals, but some players like Kvitova knows that and she´s prepared for every Serena´s drama.

[@LookerStenographer]

People tune in to see their heroes - Serena is a legend.

[@aigulirmukhanova]

Come on Petra💪 glad there is someone from an old-school who can still beat Serena

[@maviso9889]

What a match! This is much improved serena since you came back. I always knew it's just a matter of time for you to return to your best level and you're getting there soonest. Keep doing what you're doing 😚😚😚😚😍😍😍😍. Congrats to Petra for winning.

[@taoist32]

mavis okine She lost just a week ago in the worst match of her career. How did she improve that much in one week?

[@maviso9889]

taoist40 The answer is courage and determination. Is it hard for you to believe it?

[@taoist32]

mavis okine Yes, because her fitness level is terrible right now. And courage and determination can only get you so far when your physical health and movement is limited.

[@xavierrobinson200]

She's getting better

[@zabaleta66]

Xavier Robinson Petra certainly is......

[@tremaine861]

Xavier Robinson yup, i feel like this loss will propel foward too

[@cartoon4191]

Don X So You Use He to adress your Mom

[@aasiftak213]

Stanislas Wawrinka haters asses burning because over 2 decades serena williams thrashed her opponent's asses now because she is in come back period so all r ganging up & trolling but no worry Queen serena is getting stronger so get ready soon ur buring asses period is gonna starting again :)

[@robertzsombok7661]

Could you people pull your heads out of your ass hat for a moment? you are hilariously dumb. Any athlete wants to have a physical advantage. Would you accuse Usain Bolt for having a "physical advantage" and then make his world records less impressive? Any athlete tries to be his best that's why they have to work to be in shape. Idiots.

[@emiltsekov6525]

What a match, what a high level of tennis! Congrats for Kvitova - she looks much slimmer and very, very fit, quite impressed by that, haven't seen her in such a good shape for long time ⌚.. But can say the same thing about Serena - she is getting better with every day, moves much better, much more stamina and omg her shots are sharp. Both of them main contenders to lift US trophy 🏆

[@apaarmaheshwari8673]

And none of them won😂

[@thebestb4u]

GO Petra, GO!!!

[@MikkelJankovic]

Serena, watch and learn from Petra how you behave with grace and dignity

[@garebfeumba5407]

They both played amazingly. Congratulations to Petra, I was so happ when I heard her shout.

[@KCNwokoye]

It's funny that Serena just after maternity leave is playing at this awesome level and we expect her to win every match like she's a machine and she has more than delivered. Serena can't play on the same level she used to just yet, she has Olympia and that's a beautiful sacrifice and she will lose a lot more matches as a mom now than she used to and that's okay and she has accepted that she is willing to put in the work to get to where she wants to be and she has exceeded my expectations. Petra played brilliantly. We all make sacrifices so other players who have been putting in the time and work all year long will definitely do better than Serena who has responsibilities. The French Open and the final of Wimbledon just shows you the difference between playing a top player. She has beaten all the players she's supposed to beat and that is phenomenal. Nonetheless for top players she has to earn the win as they put in twice as much time and have developed the mental fortitude that comes with being consistent. Petra is a top player and always challenged Serena on court even when she was no.1 as well as beat her when she was no.1 so this was a very fine match from Serena and Petra, I enjoyed seeing Serena fight and lift her game after losing the first set, she did everything well. Keep it up queen!

[@samuelcarter4686]

KC Nwokoye I enjoyed the comments which is one of many that is true to heart and on point

[@jozefmak1268]

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE MATCH!!!

[@dubbled7286]

Petra saved tennis today! 🙏👏💪❤️

[@johnsychery8383]

Cosmic Con Wherever there are white people there is hatred for Serena Williams. You people are sad. But you do live up to your racist ancestors standards. Congrats

[@WilliamSpencer90]

Great match and result for Petra given her iffy for of late, I favoured getting sleep over watching match live, but was a nice surprise to see this morning! :-)

[@j-tallica1188]

Johnsy Chery Not saying she isn't a bad person,at least she got married and does have friends .......... unlike others *cough,cough* Sharapova *cough*

[@akeemmartin3056]

J-tallica 1 so you hate her because she believes she could and shoud beat anyone? so you hate her for never going on court with a scared attitude like the other person is going to beat them? there's been numerous times when the other play actually just cleaned her clock and she had nothing to say(like when petra iced her in madrid or justine on clay in 07) so you hate her for being confident where you think she shoudn't be...but never stated any reason why she shouldn't't be confident as a 23 time grand slam champion.

[@johnsychery8383]

J-tallica 1 I know I know it's never about race even when white people were calling her the Nword at Indian wells the KKK claims that they are not racist.

[@JustinWilliams02]

Petra played really good! Serena playing so much better then she did at Wimbledon.

[@lorrainehutton3527]

Well done, Serena. You played like the champion you are. No worries, you are getting better and better in this comeback!!

[@amb817]

Good win from Kvitova

[@irenebantilo9890]

I love Petra kvitova she's getting better and better every game..she deserved to win this game congrats..

[@viktordelrey2824]

Petra

[@marius32547]

Thank you, Petra!

[@raquelalimentocanedo151]

I thought Williams won this match cause wta always shows her highlights!😒 Well Bravo KVI!!👏👏

[@katerinapatiniotis5598]

Propaganda highlights from Wta. Obviously they're pro Serena.

[@davejames4340]

Katerina Patiniotis so Bias just like the ATP is to Roger

[@Brandon512k]

Everyone should be pro Serena. She’s on the cusp of making even MORE history. We should have a woman like her with the most slams, not a homophobic old lady.

[@katerinapatiniotis5598]

Dave James That's exactly right. It's not fair to the other great Grand Slam champions, for example: Novak Djokovic. He's a 13 Grand Slam champion and they don't treat him as an important champion. When Federer won 13 Grand Slams, they went nuts promoting him.

[@katerinapatiniotis5598]

Brandon512k Yeah.. She looks like Eddie Murphy and walks like Zlatan Ibrahimovic "she"'s bigger than most male players including Nadal, most female players are half her size, regular men (non athletes) are half her size, and she's a "woman".

[@johnsychery8383]

When you have 23 GS under your belt I think people tend to be excited over you and coming back from creating a human being but I think you would understand that if she was white .

[@Scorpio70ish]

Wow what a match from both ladies......the queen is back....She will make a deep run at USO.

[@katerinapatiniotis5598]

Seascorp Scorpio Where do you see she's back? She choked and is out in the second round. She hardly passes the third round. She should quit.

[@malpete]

Seascorp Scorpio queen of USA?

[@LookerStenographer]

Serena is SAVAGE! I love watching her play

[@Scorpio70ish]

Why should she quit? You reach the Wimbledon final only 3rd tournaments back. Gave her a little time and she will beat the weak #1 Halep. Lol

[@Scorpio70ish]

Stan the man you are a troll . Lmao

[@RaneirPollard]

Petra played amazing. I think losing is just what serena needs right now to get her game going in the right direction. She still hungry for this sport!

[@MikkelJankovic]

Petraaaaaaaa!!! 😍😍😍

[@marcking1051]

Serena bring out the BEST tennis from all her competitors. This was great to watch, congrats to the winner.

[@aaron1983]

Kvitova represents the new generation of fit, fast, finesse, grace, and smart tennis players! She is unmovable, and her fighting spirit is deep! Grace and precision. #keeptennisclean

[@anonymous-ktpengui101]

Serena is getting better. Kvitova is a tough opponent. Movement still needs a little work.

[@fredyss6495]

Vamos kvitova.....definitely a best tennis from both player

[@sabinavrbova7188]

SERIOUSLY!?!?!?!? Why most of the highlights in this video is Serena winning points!?!?! Petra had much more beautiful moments in this match!!!! And it’s also Petra who won!!!! So why are you showing us mostly Williams’s highlights!!! I would like to see more Petra’s highlights than what you put into this video!!! She deserve so much more and not just this crap you call Kvitova vs. Williams Highlights, you should call it Williams Highlights.

[@joseluismartinez6188]

Sabina Vrbová Serena is the queen!!

[@sabinavrbova7188]

José Luis Martínez yeah, I got it but the video should be about highlights of both players, not just Serena’s and if you saw the whole match you know that Petra had much more amazing moments than what they put into this video!

[@zabaleta66]

José Luis Martínez Queen of what? Fat?!

[@hartono.said11]

Nothing is wrong... ....Petra has won... That's it.. I love Petra....

[@zabaleta66]

Josh White You're a fucken idiot.

[@justincartwright252]

Serena's serve still isn't all the way back. As Serena's serve goes, her game goes. She's just so much more confident when she's serving well. Every other aspect of her game is about where it needs to be. She is moving better and hitting better. She needs the matches for the serve and also to get those reaction shots. Petra played at a very high level and Serena was there every step of the way. Petra is ranked #8 - she SHOULD have won this match. Serena's losses haven't been bad in her comeback - the scores are tough, but the players she's losing to aren't ones to be alarmed at. So I can live with that.

[@jonathankieranwriter]

Great to see both of these warrior women produce such entertaining ball. Serena still not quite there, fitness-wise, but the heart is roaring and she displayed some torrid, trademark shotmaking. Congrats to P3tra on a smart, measured match-certainly one of the most meaningful wins of her career, to beat Serena when she’s playing strong ball. I believe Serena will be ready to go deep at the US Open as a seed; she must never be counted out as a champion in any tournament. More intense fitness work between now and Flushing Meadows and she ought to peak for the year. Great for women’s tennis.

[@jordanwilliams1740]

Serena has gotten so much better since last she has played. We love u serena

[@deanryanmartin]

Great match!

[@MrDavidSosa]

Petra needs this kind of matches, she is so good! Hope she can get to the final... there is not Serena, Vika or Sharapova theses days.

[@clareleach921]

Cristobal Sosa but there is a Halep, Sloane and Wozniacki

[@Fedthebest75]

She's way above these 3 at her best (esp Wozniacki who's been doing shit for months now)

[@tennislover08]

It's clear that Serena is getting better and people are starting to worry. I mean Kvitova besides the grand slams this year has been one of if not the best player on tour with her 5 titles this year. This is most definitely a step in the right direction for Serena. And I fully expect Kvitova to be in her half of the draw at the U.S. Open so Serena needs to be ready.

[@binkyxz3]

how do you know the US Open draw ?

[@tennislover08]

I don't but throughout the course of Serena's Career whomever she loses to in lead up tournaments seems to be in her quarter of the draw in the grand slams mysteriously.

[@wallyraza3419]

Epic match!

[@bujjivallepu4850]

Serena is getting there ...All she need is match practice ....So got it ...She is rushing herself a bit if she is calm...She can play more better . Better you calm better you play

[@katerinapatiniotis5598]

Bujji Vallepu She needs to quit and go home. That's enough of them.

[@lukascajthaml9775]

Kvitová is the best player in the world!! i think se is better than anynone

[@seanjenkins331]

Serena played well. It's tough to beat Petra on a fast surface. Serena is getting better. I'm still waiting for the serve to be a weapon again

[@Oopstoobad6275]

Commentators are annoying: Petra steals the game. Stfu Serena cult members when she wins: OMG SHE WON EVEN THOUGH SHE HAD A BABY Serena cult members when she loses: OMG GIVE HER A BREAK SHE JUST HAD A BABY.

[@Masterdoctorgenius14]

Oopstoobad6275 exactly. Kim had also a baby break and played to a high level afterwards unlike Serena

[@randomlebaneseguy]

Masterdoctorgenius14 hi there, there are 2 differences between Serena's and Kim's comebacks: Kim came back after a year and a half of giving birth, Serena gave birth less than 1 year ago. Second, Kim was 26 when she came back in 2009; Serena is 36. I think both these factors should be considered when assessing the success or lack thereof of a players comeback to tennis after giving birth.

[@diamond852]

So let me get this straight. Supporting Serena is a problem to you and therefore nobody should support her. GOH. Fact: Serena DID have a baby, and with more complications than the average woman has. I don't get why that works you up so much.

[@lillyakin2437]

Man you guys must have so many ulcers. Serena was treated like crap for years. She now has 23 grandslams and is finally getting the respect she deserves ..that's all. Petra is an amazing player too but she has 2 slams..big difference.

[@domenicoabdulmadjid]

Oopstoobad6275 You are neither Kvitova fans nor Serena...you just hate yourself..cause your nothing !!

[@leonardredhair1498]

Serena not at her best but still challenging one of the best on tour right now. It’s going to be scary good when she is truly back in shape and form. Let’s go Serena!

[@101poumi]

Leonard Red Hair funny part si when Serena wins people say she’s back then when she loses people say not her best lol. Stupid Williams fans are

[@RiordanLadyGaga]

Football Winner because it’s true 😂😂😂 are you seriously saying serena is playing 100% right now?

[@leonardredhair1498]

Football Winner even in Wimbledon when she literally made the finals I knew she was nowhere near her best. I think she’s playing amazing right now, but she clearly can be a lot better. I’m going to give her time to come back... she had her first match back in March. That’s not a long time to be fully back. I mean people are still saying Maria isn’t 100 and she’s been back for like over a year now so...

[@jouc12_75]

Reality check.... she is going to be 37 soon.

[@GldnkidDJ]

Football Winner you try having a C-Section and having you life threatened and being placed on bed rest and coming back a little after a year and player at the professional level and then talk. Her form is improving. Oh and Venus was 37 and made it to two grand slam finals last year and she has an autoimmune disorder.

[@annecamaya3649]

It just prove that serenas draw in wimbledon was unfair. She should play top caliber in earlier rounds..

[@binkyxz3]

the seeds got upset early. play the draw you are given. wtf

[@aaron1983]

anne Camaya yup staying 4R she should be getting top players not like in the SF!!

[@vikings4147]

Great match... Keep smiling Petra..... Always their 4u....

[@joseluismartinez6188]

Serena the queen,I am happy for watch her again!! Bad luck for play very early vs Kvitova,but Serena is one of the favourites for win the next US Open :)

[@om.6716]

Serena it new hour by has just began in tennis..we know how strong ur mentally n phyiscically..we all know u goning to win more grandslam titles

[@jonathanpanmendoza7257]

looking to Petra Kvitova, I'm reminded of Mary Pierce of France in the 90's.

[@nicolaspera82]

great Petra!

[@DariusSarrafi]

Kvitova has finally arrived!

[@vintagecottonon]

Love Clair Currans commentary ☺

[@thoukisth]

About the US Open, she can go far if they decide to manipulate the draw like they did at Wimbledon were she faced almost no decent player on her way to the final, they needed a story (mother makes it and all those cliches) so they placed her were she could go far, ..., if the deal is the same then she will go far again but win it ... i don't think so, its too late the other players don't fear her any more

[@mlungisimanzini8143]

I am sure other top players are fine with to meet Serena earlier on the draw.

[@mauryjamesjimmy6063]

Ur having it all wrong, she should have face Svitolina, Keys, Wozniaki, pliskova, stephens, even Venus all top 10 players. Its not her fault if they do not perform to expectations, she does beat Mladenovic n Gorges who wer top players tho. But U hav the right to hate. Peace

[@maggotbrain7499]

Thoukis Thoukis Cash motivation. More attractive matches.

[@nonyeigbozuriked2876]

Maury James Jimmy well said. They should prove they are top players .

[@aaron1983]

Thoukis Thoukis THE exact reason why I left watching the WTA for the past 5 years, the draws were cooked! But now that tough new players who win even without advantage from easy draws, I'll watch again.

[@efi8692]

The public tho😂 Was in the game more than the players

[@thoukisth]

I guess the grunting and the yelling and the evil eye and all the other bullying tactics don't work no more ... as the other players learn not to fear her she will slowly but surely fade away into the Halls of fame

[@willybeama1]

Thoukis Thoukis fading away into the hall of fame is what every great player eventually does. She will too but I’m thankful we have her for at least a couple more years. Roger too.

[@thoukisth]

Willie Jones Roger Federer will fade away to the Hall of Fame bur he will do it with the love and respect of everyone! Serena has achieved incredible things yes but her way of doing it is not my favorite, it happens, not eveyone has to like the BOAT (bullier of all time) greatness does not necessarily mean respect

[@willybeama1]

Thoukis Thoukis not true. WTA was quite boring without Serena. They win differently and have different personalities but they, Roger and Serena, are the most talented and toughest players each tour has ever produced in history. None of the young guns, on either tour, are beating them consistently. Petra, a legend herself, is a veteran and has a level that can match Serena but she is inconsistent. When Roger and Serena are gone, they will be missed and the sport will lose some popularity. I hope, however, the next big star will be able to shine through and make it interesting again.

[@thoukisth]

Willie Jones are you saying that to be interesting you have to be rude???? Female tennis was fine before Serena (Selles, Navratilova, Chlisters to name a few) and it will be fine after she retires because it will return to its natural state, women having to rely on technick to win a match not power

[@willybeama1]

Thoukis Thoukis lies

[@D_SQ]

Wow. From the highlights if you did not watch the match, you would think Kvitova got the same treatment as Gavrilova. What are the odds US Open organizers are working around the clock right now to get Serena the easiest draw possible like in Wimbledon? Just Gavrilova playing against Gavrilova everywhere the entire half of the draw where Serena is playing.

[@Brandon512k]

Serena’s Wimbledon draw was NOT easy, the top players just lost early. She was supposed to face Svitolina in R3, Keys R4, Wozniacki QF, Pliskova SF...... it’s not her fault that they can’t hold their own at the top.

[@olivermartinez5204]

Don X 😂😂😂

[@Rrtnns]

Slam draws get rigged and yet few notice it. I guess that's why so many vote liberal.

[@Brandon512k]

Rare Tennis well I don’t know what kind of draw you expect her to have. Literally no other players have nearly as many slams as her, so who is she supposed to play?? All of those players are the top players in the game at the moment, so who else is she supposed to play?!!!!!!!!

[@D_SQ]

She could just play Rus A. Tomova. Mladenovic. Rodina. and Giorgi again. And then add Gavrilova there just for good measure.

[@reniervanrooyen1704]

Serena just honing her skills, nothing to be ashamed of. Great fighters like her knows what it takes to get to the top and soon she'll be there. Untouchable!!!!!

[@bennzau1313]

As a Serena fan I'm not disappointed ...she's getting there... I really believe she will 'peak' (like she always says) at the US Open. This was better play than even her Wimbledon run to the final...the serve just needs to he there and were golden:-)

[@rn6710]

These are annoying commentators. They overreact to shots as if they are the greatest thing on earth.

[@black_nebula]

Hate hate hate everywhere

[@black_nebula]

Rare Tennis That's so false of a statement. I can easily say you're the most hate filled for seeing that in someone else when you have no clue at all. That is your as above so below concept And you must understand how direction of projection works. Hate is identified first and called out. It does not mean what I are in you exists in me. The only hate that exists in someone that calls out hate is their extreme hatred of those who ommit such vibrations

[@black_nebula]

Rare Tennis Federer is the male player of all time but is there criticism for he and is fans as well? Commentators? Its usually Serena getting the low blow for personal egotistical reasoning

[@black_nebula]

Rare Tennis Im a tennis fan doesn't matter who's playing but common sense is common sense. You just hate when you don't have to. Who cares if the commentators glorify her. That's being envious and jealous that you can't even stand to hear the well deserved praise of the best woman to step on the court. That's not her fault and that does come along with being the best. The personal perception you have of my snowflakiness or whatever is fine. If that's all you got is too come up with ways to make it seem like pure hate is so just and righteous then go ahead. Relativity has shown me the same person in other situations online an face to face as well. I'm not either moved not phased by these conjectures you've come up with. Serena surely can't be bothered so youll actually stay miserable. Keep feeding that energy to yourself

[@black_nebula]

Rare Tennis You mean if she was Maria? Haaa! They wanted a Maria so bad but you know... Serena had to spoil that party.. Anything else?

[@fredererbills]

even though petra (who I love to watch play) won Serena is looking pretty dangerous in this match I fully expect another deep run if not a title at the US open.

[@gseric4721]

I knew Petra could do it :) Serena will be back playing at a high level soon, now it's just about her movement and enduring the stint of a tournament.

[@thomasfrancis9973]

I loved it! Go Petra!!!!!!!!!

[@lastvirginmedia6243]

At 28 years, 6ft tall and playing for over 12 years as a professional, Petra has only won two GS in 3 years apart and nothing more than Fed cups. I am shocked.

[@luvdasitar]

Kvitova is probably the only player who pushes Serena behind the baseline because of the depth of her strokes. Everyone else lands it mid court and Williams just stands inside the court pummelling the ball till the cows come home

[@alexbowie6316]

Yeah, pretty decent from Serena, against a top fit player. Love to see Kivitova in such shape and good form after her ordeal and time out. Well done both on a good match.

[@paully1227]

I thought I felt an earth quake today but it just was Serena playing tennis

[@bobbyv5943]

Paul Kelley The people on here are just too 😄 😄 😄 😂 😂 😂

[@SANDUSK471]

Fantastic match, a definite blockbuster. I'm no fan of Serena nor Kvitova (I love Masha) but with this level of tennis, both clearly has huge chances to make some huge splashes in the US Open drawing. Intense match with lots of winners, I can bet if Kvitova didn't stop Serena, Serena will go for a cruise till she gets Cincy so it's kinda like a "Now or Never" match, the same with Giorgi vs Serena in Wimbledon I really was desperate for Giorgi to snatched the match because as far as I could saw, only Giorgi who has the same (or even bigger) serve than Serena left in Wimby draw and she's fearless and that's basically the recipe to at least put a heart attack, if not winning the match, against Serena, but she didn't manage to dumped her in the end Yet Serena fluked in the final against Angie who also saw her opportunities and capitalized it to the maximum level Hope you get a good and deep run in the draw, Petra!

[@desireenelson2735]

Love that bulldog tenacity

[@a2casius]

Despite the outcome, this was a phenomenal great effort by Serena "The Legend" herself. She is certainly getting stronger (as we all knew she would) but she knows what she has to do to gain #1 spot again and "Keep the dream alive".

[@thoukisth]

I loved it when the match was over and from Kvitova box that guy exploded ... it must be very frustrating watching your player suffering Williams bullying tactics for a whole match

[@malpete]

Thoukis Thoukis he got fed up with the partisan crowd too

[@RickBeacham]

Great highlights! Better than ATP.

[@shennacampbell6325]

Cosmic con you should be so tired of saying the same thing about Serena you go on all her videos to say the exact same thing the only one on the ladies side in tennis to test positive is Maria Sharapova no other player was in the new or had a news conference to apologize for testing positive and if she didn't need it why take it for 10yrs and if you had a heart problem it just cleared up and now she can play tennis which is running,hitting a ball for hours and she's fine let that sink in your brain.

[@shennacampbell6325]

Cosmic Con if shes not guilty of nothing why call a special press conference to apologize nobody else on the tennis tour did and am sure they know how to test for steroid still no positive test keep saying those lies cosmic con it might come true.

[@shennacampbell6325]

Well then whole team didn't read the list quit making excuse her team read it told Sharapova she ignored it plain and simple like I said the only one on tour who has test positive is Maria Sharapova and called a press conference to apologize now can we please move on.

[@shennacampbell6325]

You keep saying that as if your trying to make yourself believe it if that true why suspend her they don't suspend you for nothing and am sure if Maria thought she was done wrong she wouldn't have gotten a lawyer and fight the case I never seen where a person add so much to a story it's over now Sharapova has accepted her mistake why can't you she's back playing tennis not given a damn about what people say.

[@poussinhamzah4013]

J'aimerais bien voir Kvitova au sommet du tennis féminin. ..une joueuse hyperpuissante et sans même pousser un cri avec chaque frappe.

[@bastianvillalobosc]

Kvitova solo tubiste suerte cariño 😚

[@JACKDAWFISH]

Kvitova "steals" the game....how many times did the announcer say that? She didn't steal anything, she won it. If he said that about Serena he would have been fired.

[@househeadericmdhousehead9118]

Great win Kvitova. Both played at high level. Kvitova played so well this year except slams. Hope she delivers at USO.

[@Tenn80]

Funny how Serena’s player box wasn’t shown at the end of the video like in the beginning and middle. Everyone wins when Serena loses.

[@jmf6985]

Glad to see kovitova

[@ElectoneGuy]

Holy biased announcers. Was someone other than Williams playing in the match, even though she lost?

[@bi6869]

i would like a final kvitova halep

[@tinhnguyenuc2704]

quyết thắng đã thắng bởi sự thông minh và quả cảm ilove

[@KH-sn2sj]

That's alright Serema you got it!

[@Allthebest1010]

Serena hon! so proud of you. Keep running the marathon. Look at Nole and still keep going (and he didnt' even have a baby) . Petra is awesome - just wish she were much much more consistent over the years (save the time around that tragic incident)

[@cyrilfighter5776]

US OPEN is waiting for Queen Serena.

[@katerinapatiniotis5598]

Cyril Fighter She will be out in the third round or quarter final. Unless they fix her schedule to help her face low ranking, easier and unseeded opponents to reach at a quarter final or semi.

[@katerinapatiniotis5598]

Cosmic Con I know. I mean it's pointless to continue. Last week she looked like a train that burns coal to move...those old traditional trains..She looked lethargic.

[@dariusd2003]

Katerina Patiniotis I agree I'm not sure if it's still the post pregnancy blues but her movement is a shadow of itself. She has to work harder and shots from a bad position becomes a liability. Just like federer and Nadal, eventually you run out of time.

[@MikkelJankovic]

A job at KFC is waiting for Serena

[@katerinapatiniotis5598]

dariusd2003 Come on..Her kid is almost 9 months old. A normal woman doesn't take 8-9 months to recover from childbirth. A few weeks at the most, depending on the birth method. Why Serena a top athlete is taking 9 months to recover? All bullshit. Doesn't make any sense.

[@ramsebfx9851]

Great tennis from both! Petra is in her greatest condition. Serena is improving. I wonder if she’ll prioritize weight loss to make movement easier. She will be on the courts longer than usual here on.

[@kautsarrahmawan8707]

Petra's box was way more happy than Petra herself lol
