Serena Williams - Queen of the comeback (part 1)

[@Allthebest1010]

7:44 Maria was ridiculous with her screaming. I remember at the time people were complaining - going back it's seems more outrageous than ever.

[@ceasarcarcus391]

this comeback for serena williams against kim clijsters is the greatest comeback that i have ever seen. they both are phenomenal champions but the authority of serena williams is to be admired for ages to arrive.

[@joshuamendiola7635]

Totally agree. Clijsters is an amazing closer of matches and once she has you on the ropes you tend to beat yourself. Shows Serena’s mentality is unrivaled. Love your insight.

[@cireewol]

I'd put the 2005 Sharapova & 2012 Azarenka were pretty close!

[@Allthebest1010]

I remember and AMAZING comeback against Dimentieva too. I have to search that one to see if it was greater.

[@nevadaross328]

GeorgeHenryThomas yeah but Serena injured herself, Kim shows no signs of injury here, she truly just choked when Serena started to elevate her game

[@nevadaross328]

GeorgeHenryThomas rolled her ankle

[@Mehapes7777]

SERENA IS THE QUEEN OF WOMEN'S TENNIS.PERIOD

[@TNToncourt]

DRAG QUEEN.PERIOD.

[@TNToncourt]

I like to boycott him.

[@TNToncourt]

Just don't play tennis against little girls.

[@TNToncourt]

Him

[@jobuck879]

TNToncourt So what man you know can give birth? Please stop being so ridiculously stupid and pathetic....

[@marcuswier9837]

Please send this comment to Tennis establishment. Make sure they pay you for it. So well said!! "Serena Williams demonstrates why she is one of the best tennis players of all time. Her ability to come back from deep holes is unparalleled. More than just her technical skills, power, speed and athleticism, Serena has a mental fortitude that escapes most players!"

[@robertacacciatore5133]

Mary Carillo really said "Sharapova is the better player"????? Is she insane? She can dislike Serena, I have no ptoblem with that, but give Serena the respect and homor she deserves. Saying Maria is better than Serena is the biggest joke I have ever heard!

[@tkcovington6752]

I think Mary Carillo was biased because she had a little crush on Sharapova. Just looking at the matches she commentated for Sharapova, some of her comments were a bit uncomfortable and awkward.

[@sternmarks5849]

Mary is being a racist Serena is an American an that's wat she says hmm smh

[@jobuck879]

@Mazot Hortlak Who's right? Mary? Because Serena is a billion times better than Maria...now Mary is saying differently about Maria...she's not all up her ass...especially since the whole ban and suspension.

[@alexragland1945]

@Mazot Hortlak Awww you're really upset well you can stay mad a hater and delusional 23 😉 GOAT lip!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@aydenanthony6508]

@Mazot Hortlak bitch bye 🤦🏽‍♂️. Sharapova has gotten her ass dragged across the court by Serena williams the past 19 matches that they've played each other, in the 21 matches that they've played against one another, the last time Sharapova won twice and that was both in 2004. And let's not talk about grace and beauty, Sharapova runs like a cow, Serena, although bigger, is still faster and WAAAYYYY more graceful that Sharapova.

[@lastvirginmedia6243]

Even with Meldonium she has never been better than Serena

[@anya-s]

This was when Serena broke the Russian's mentality. Great job!

[@tjrtt]

I'm sure Kim Clisjers would consider this to be one of her most disappointing if not the most disappointing loss ever. It's one thing to be blown off the court in straight sets by Serena but to be one game away and see the lead systematically disappear can be devastating to any tennis player.

[@EaglesFan4NRA]

wesmartin91 Im SOO glad you made this vid. Not only did you point out some of Serenas best comebacks, but you also exposed Mary Carillo as the racist or at least poorly qualified commentator she is. Carrilo and Pam Shriver have been against the Williams sisters for years. Only recently have these women (Shriver & Carrilo) started giving Serena the credit she deserves. I don't know if Shriver and Carillo are racist or just jealous of Serena, but neither of them made ANY impact on Womens tennis during their VERY forgettable careers as players. Thanks again for posting this vid, GREAT JOB!!

[@murkymcdarkness]

I'm a so glad you bought this point up. I have thought that for years and years. I started following tennis well before the Williams sisters impact. I vaguely remember Shriver as a player, nothing to tax your brain over. I concur with your assessment of the both of them. Carillo, to this day, relishes in any negative press or exposure leveled at the Williams pair. Can't say if she is a bigot or not, but she has a covetous and jealous heart for sure.

[@preshanapricelessgirlspric166]

I will never forget this message. What an amazing comeback. I loved when Serena roared and Venus and Oracene clapped and laughed.

[@Lishmaa]

she's the only tennis player that i've seen can do this time after time ! she is one of the best !

[@kjburkley2367]

I know that Maria is very verbal with her tennis shriek, but you could tell that the great feud between her and Serena was already boiling because she was waaayyy more vocal and tense than against any other player. Meanwhile, Serena is like, "You done? Good, now watch ME work. Time to bow down to the queen."💯🔥🤷🏽‍♀️😂

[@DanielSong39]

The scary part is that she's added 5 more of these comebacks... in just 1 tournament!

[@wesmartin91]

@PokerWhale Steffi Graf was a great player but she did dominate in a weak era compared to Serena. The only great players in Steffi's prime were Seles and Sanchez-Viccario. Graf wasn't dominating while Navratilova was still in peak form. And Hingis and Davenport both reached their prime near the end of Graf's run. So really, she didn't have much competition besides Seles for most of those years. Serena has had to deal with Venus, Justine, Kim, Sharapova, Davenport, Hingis, Capriati, and Maruesmo.

[@mariefrazier9920]

wesmartin91 I agree with you and consider that Seles had been dominating Graf when she got stabbed! So no way Graf would have 22 slams if Seles had not been assaulted!

[@aydenanthony6508]

@Ilya Kuryakin does 6-4 seem like a commendable lead to you? 🙄🙄

[@aydenanthony6508]

@Ilya Kuryakin which speaks to the level of competition then doesn't it.

[@thrshwll1526]

Agree 100%. Plus Graf was treated way better than Serena was so she didn't have to deal with all that negativity while working to remain on top

[@chrisak49]

Serena didn't have her closest competitor stabbed either

[@tjrtt]

The intro to this clip is simply epic. The commentator announced everything that was on the line. That loss was devastating for Clijsters.

[@wesmartin91]

There is not one aspect of the game that Sharapova could be considered "better" than Serena. At best you could say that Sharapova's return is on par with Serena's as one of the best in the game. But I wouldn't call it better. And Serena wins in every other category as well. Serve? Forehand? Backhand? Volley? Speed? Mental toughness? Just what area could Sharapova be called "better" in? I'm not seeing it.

[@MRY4M0]

the best player in the world serena williams

[@wesmartin91]

Serena now has 15 major titles compared to Sharapova's 4. If you count the recent Olympic games, for every slam Sharapova wins, Serena wins 3 more. And that's if you ignore all of her doubles accomplishments (where she's won 13 grandslam titles and 3 Olympic gold medals). Sharapova has previously been ranked world number one for a total of 21 weeks. Serena has previously been ranked number one for 123 weeks and finished #1 two different years (2002, 2009).

[@JWNS08]

I think that's what makes people love or hate Serena. She is such a competitor and she hates too lose. But when she does lose, she will kinda be a sore loser. You definitely can't deny her talent and determination. Definitely the best player of her generation and one of the all-time greats.

[@randytucker1965]

Her dad said when she was 8 or 9, "Serena is like a bulldog she wont let go"

lucien henry Sorry fool he has no sons...only beautiful daughters and now a beautiful granddaughter. How sad and pathetic you must be.

[@Notifysender90]

Even still to this day Sharapova makes all that damn noise

[@manojkp7420]

The great comebacks continue... 2012 hasbeen the greatest comeback year from a foot injury and a life threatening blood coat in lungs... 2012 : Wimbledon Singles and Doubles, Olympics Golds in Singles and Doubles, US Open, WTA Tour Championship. In the US Open Final Azarenka as serving for the championship at 5-4(final set), but serena came back and elevated her game and won the match 6-2,2-6,7-5. Later she said she as preparing for the runners up speach :-) Snappy Lil Summer

[@jordanhalkier81]

Serena has the best serve in tennis history in my opinon, Her serve is her weapon which makes her wins games, but also when she is down a set she uses her amazing aces to win the set.

[@svenr5183]

Beautiful video! The Williams sisters are the best ever. I just Venus had this attitude, just like she had before her injury in 2003! .

[@polasal0088]

What a comeback. From 5:1 down to win the game is unbelievable.

[@Christopherauthor]

Thanks for making this video and yeah we know that some people will never admit the truth however Serena's wins proves it every time!

[@LondonHasFallin]

Sharapova's yelling is sounder than the crowd.

[@nomibe2911]

I remember there was a match in Miami when Serena saved like 7 or 8 match points and came back and won. It was one of the most incredible comebacks I've ever witnessed in my life. Is that video up somewhere?

[@JordanjamesX]

That was Venus I think against Jennifer caprati in 2001 in Miami.

[@RhaegarTargaryen1st]

JordanjamesX No, I think he's (or she's) talking about Serena's Miami comeback against Justine Henin in 2007 where Serena came back and won: 0-6, 7-5, 6-3 saving 6 championship points in the second set.

[@Humanity2102]

Rhaegar Targaryen Yes, It was Justine Henin. I left to get a bite to eat when Serena was down 4-5 in the second set and Henin was serving for the match. I thought it was over since Henin was the number 1 player in the world at that time and was virtually unbeatable. While eating, I heard the crowd roaring and thought it was over. I go back to my seat and Serena had won the second set and was up 2-0 in the third set!!!! LOL The rest is history.

[@neetrab]

Finally found it! Thx for uploading. I couldnt remember who it was against. I just remembered Serena came back from either 0-5 or 1-5 to win the match. Never ever seen anything like it. She's the only woman in the open era to have a winning record after losing the 1st set. 42-40. Just found that out. Wowww And yes, I think that's because of her quick problem solving. She's had so many comebacks and it's all ALL due to her problem solving and a little bit of luck!

[@FrankieWilliam3]

Fast forward 10 years from Serena's last loss to Maria and we are now at 16-2 head to head in Serena's favor. Least we forget the Olympic gold medal beatdown!

[@bcbgw]

FrankieWilliam3 18-2

[@ricobhi]

+davi david 19-2! And it's going to stay like that for at least another 2 years, if not forever!!! :-)

[@rosyrozy179]

the last time Sharapova beat the queen i didnt know how sweet it was to make love in the morning but the moment the doper was sent packing i had orgasm.

[@thrshwll1526]

22-2 was the last count.

[@ezayi]

Have to say that I like Clijster a lot. Such a great player and a nice girl. And of course, I love Serena!

[@daniel76om]

We love Serena

[@rickyfurgason2080]

What a great champion she is

[@ernestcarter174]

I have but one thing to say about Maria 18-2 in favor of Serena of course. But this is the "kicker" pun intended lol she couldn't beat Serena even with (steroids) That has to be, like Damn WTF do I have too do to beat the best PLAYER ?

[@andrewsimpson5818]

Actually 19-2 for Serena over Sharapova.

[@swinde]

She really only has one legit competitive win over Serena. The win at the WTA finals was a fluke. Serena was injured from early in the second set and could only serve about 50 mph. She lost the second and then in the third, even though Serena could not serve effectively, she took a 4-0 lead with her ground strokes. Maria won the last six games. Serena has won the last 18 meetings for a 19-2 record.

[@neetrab]

20-2 against her now.

[@Gamereo]

She's the best player of the past fifty years without any doubt and she can become one of the best of the history. What courage to cancel the second match point with that forehand . Sharapova remains dazed!

[@McKelT]

there might not ever be another tennis player like Serena. Even when she is down she is still not expected to ever lose.

[@nomibe2911]

Clijsters had a total choke job. You can't blame her because Serena has a never die attitude.

[@mssumerloving]

Its 2020, the AO has just begun again and I'm here for Queen Serena!!

[@regulusarcturus]

@Illya Kuryakin She has 7 AO titles, more than any woman in the open era.

[@ernestcarter174]

This was the best comeback I had ever seen "So I thought". Who would've guessed that this was but one, of many too come? Serena has this level of play that makes everyone of her opponents, question their energy and or level of play! Like with Clijster she was licking her lips for that final shot, to say I just beat Serena. Only nobody told Serena this lol, as for the hating ass commentator (WELL WE ALL KNOW WHAT SHE WANTED TO SAY!) yet who cares about the wicked witch of the West! LMAO....

[@azjmsxhn]

lmfao sharapova the better player....she hasnt beaten serena since 2004!!

[@Notifysender90]

Not to add an injured Serena at the time as well.....hmph but we'll just skip on by that lmao

[@Notifysender90]

***** so now we are going to use steroids as the answer? what happened when Serena was fat and out of shape a complete mess still shitting on sharapova? not to add sharapova isnt even that cute so id like to know what is it yall see in her cause i cant get jiggy with that shit

[@bartonrose7153]

***** sharapova is a 7 foot russian giant with huge shoulders the wingspan of a boeing 747, she has no boobs or ass, she's flat and ugly lanky like a tree! she has no talent and is Serena's bitch!

[@rodneyholley8711]

Barton Rose ENOUGH SAID!!!!!!

[@Mahal2006]

it's 2017 and sharapova has yet to beat Serena. 19-2 in favor of Serena. Who's the better player now, Mary Carillo????

[@wesmartin91]

@leangesdemoi Even so, Serena still beats Sharapova here to even their (then) "rivalry" at two each. She then went on to win the tournament! And before that, Serena already had 6 major titles to Sharapova's 1, including the "Serena Slam". So I don't know how you take a player with those credentials, then watch her beat Sharapova, and say something like "Sharapova is a better player". It's frankly mind boggling!

[@thrshwll1526]

Dumb, biased commentators

[@0525xavi]

She literally said that sharapova was better. Serena is 30 now and still proving her wrong

[@mariefrazier9920]

Serena Williams is the GOAT hands down....Graf lost to a budding Serena who wasn’t close to her peak....accept it and weep you Steffi fans...even Steffi knows it!!!!!’

[@kelvinpyaeko]

totally amazing...i love how she was so calm and relaxed saving those three match points against maria

[@mayraarias8297]

Exactly, how you compare Serena Williams with Sharapova when she has 23th gram slam

[@angiejordan6454]

...because it was an excellent comeback - thus the title of this video....

[@jacobpatrickpoulsen6608]

Serena is the queen of the female tennis players. You can try to degrade her or talk negatively about her as a person. But you can´t deny that she is a very strong and tough woman. She is for me the best female tennis player of all time. She made it to the top and she is still there after being active as a professional tennis player for more than 20 years.

[@privacyblanders7972]

commentary at the end was excellent!

[@tellmeto]

sharapova is literally yelling, not grunting. i so hope they make it banned to yell. there is a difference between a grunt and a high shriek

[@swinde]

Sharapova's shriek is bad, but Azerenka is much worse in that she extends it for a second or two. When she misses it cuts off like magic. She uses it as a distraction for the other player.

[@destineusaify]

Man, she’s played some amazing tennis players.

[@portzblitz]

Great video. Thanks for putting it together. Cheers!

[@wesmartin91]

@leangesdemoi Shouldn't the "better" player win the match? Whenever Serena loses, Mary Carillo is always very quick to say that she got beat by "the better player". So how is it that when Sharapova loses to Serena, she can still be considered "better"? She is a biased commentator that's why!

[@ARZ1987]

Mary Carillo has always been negative towards the WS. She would criticize them like they were consistently losing in first rounds in slams. Sharapova may have been the better player for the first set of that match, but this was Serena was still on her comeback from a drop of form/recovering from knee issues. There's nothing Sharapova does better than either Williams.

[@uksoul2001]

Great upload.. You are soooo right with your comments on the vid. The comeback Queen rules!!!

[@volcrazy89]

About halfway through the 2nd set Mary Carillo said "this kid's better" after Maria hit a passing shot winner after Serena had come to the net.

[@rashaddddd]

lmao at "Sharapova being a better player." Those words must haunt Mary Carillo. I've seen all of their matches. Serena actually beat her in miami in 2004 before losing to her at Wimbledon and the YEC's.

[@dayo1026]

And Serena was injured in the YECs. She could barely serve. Serena led 4-0 in the third set, but she ended up with wrapping all around her mid section and just couldn't play past the pain.

[@Blakmajik78]

This is when Venus and Serena were at the top of their game...they absolutely scared THE HELL out of the WTA and beat bitches DOWN! They were fearless, didn't have any injuries and they KNEW WITHOUT A DOUBT that they were the best players on the tour. They had a sense of cockyness with it too that I loved. (it comes from their daddy lol) UH those were the days...this is when they took tennis to another level 2000-2003. In my eyes (and millions others) they are the 2 greaster female players ever!

[@Bentleygirl7]

"Simply the Best".. LITERALLY!

[@assindiastignani7087]

I really like Sharapova as a player and a person, but that SHREIKING she does is just intolerable. Does she really have to do that?

[@darrenmonty2432]

By far one of my all time favorite matches with Serena. I love the rouring pour of emotion at about 8:20 after winining that point. YEAH!

[@acasualyoutuber1075]

the williams pova match is one of my favourites of all time in terms of drama and suspense

[@quintinrice2733]

I'm sure Serena never forgot that US Open Moment and was ready and focused for this match.

[@antonis89]

and the funny thing is that most of those players retired but serena is still competing and kicking ass! for me thats why she's the best tennis player of all time. she's 31 and she's dominating women's tennis. I think that says a lot. its not just about the titles.

[@htownhomie06]

my best friend actually called me @ 5-1 down to gloat when this happened. i tried to tell him he spoke too soon. still a serena epic!

[@quiet1234]

Thank you for adding the bit at the end, I HATE carillo, most commentators hate serena because shes cocky, yes she is, but I love that shes HONEST with her cockiness, unlike a couple of other players (ahem) on the mens side. Its suprising how much serena actually upholds the integrity of the sports other than her Horrendous outburst at the USO which she will never live down, but up till that point always had a lot of integrity.

[@malcolmwint1707]

Serena Williams was 2 months pregnant when she won the Australian Open in January 2017. This makes her the GOAT of all times!!

At no point in Sharapova's career has she been a better player than Serena. Her record against Serena speaks for itself.

[@ridedamaverick]

For all the talk about Serena-Sharapova, Kim has really been on the other end of most of Serena's better matches. All Maria has ever done after 2004 is be a footnote in Serena's career.

[@kdeez4971]

Such obvious bias with the media regarding Serena. How can you even compare the two? Serena been kicking her ass for ever!

[@EATeezey]

Even without her serve, Serena is better than Sharapova. Sharapova on a bad serving day can't beat most top players. If she doesn't get the point started right, players like Li Na and Victoria Azarenka destroy her from the baseline. Serena is the same. Serena on a bad serving day can pull wins out of nowhere because her ground game is all-around better.

[@whynot0224]

I would love to see the 1998 Sydney match between Serena and Lindsay. Lindsay led 7-5, 5-1 before Serena staged a dramatic comeback to win it in three. After the match, she said she didn't want to embarrass herself and want it to last at least an hour. This match probably began her career as a great comeback competitor.

[@wesmartin91]

Their head to head record as of today is now 9-2 in favor of Serena. Since this 2005 AO meeting, Sharapova has been able to take exactly ONE set from Serena in SEVEN consecutive matches. And in five of those matches, she hasn't been able to win more than 4 games! The more they face off, the more lopsided things seem to go in Serena's direction. Their last meeting resulted in a 6-0, 6-1 demolition of Sharapova. She's not getting any closer to Serena and if anything the gap is widening!
