[@emmanuelezenwa1749]

Guys calm down.. This was a positive comment. its really amazing to see 3 African Americans in a WTA DOUBLES FINAL. Lets also add SERENA and MADISONS final to that equation too. YES AA tennis players are really doing it this week.

@@emmanuelezenwa1749a) no its not. B) we know its was intended as positive but that doesnt make it less bullshit just as much as the need to create "fake diversity" which funnily enough is mostly black people caring only about themselves and their skin colour.

@Shinobu Tsurubushi I didn't mean and imply that. Sorry if I offended your feelings.

[@JessBlake2]

@@peopletvrus don't apologize. Ach nix is being an idiot. It wasnt long ago that black people were excluded from tennis and Serena and others still experience a lot of racism. It IS great there were 3 world class black tennis players in one game.

[@tjg801]

A black women has been dominating women’s tennis for a very long time. Black men have been dominating sports for a very long time. Who cares what their skin color is. You must be a “progressive” who claims to hate racism but makes comments and has views of people based off their skin color.

[@bernardwalker729]

TJG, as a black man and tennis player, I have to disagree with you here. You made a huge assumption about who is a progressive. If skin color does not matter, then why call Andrew out? I too was happy to see these 3 black women in the finals. Let's celebrate blackness, not call people out with ad hominems who recognize our presence in professional tennis events.

[@andrewmark2783]

@@tjg801 You're wrong. I am someone who believes that it's absolutely vital that everybody in society have healthy role models that they can identify with. Tennis still largely lacks diversity, especially at the top. It isn't just a race thing either... Way to try and find a negative out of a positive comment though dude.

She already had it. Made Us open quarterfinals, after beat Halep same tournament, then went on to be the only person to take a set off of Andreescu. I love Taylor, but she most likely will never make another GS QF in singles again

This was WOZNIACKI's final DOUBLES match before she retired and how special that she got to play with her best friend, Serena Williams. After this match, Wozniacki played her last SINGLES match at the 2020 Australian Open where she lost in the 3rd round to Ons Jabeur.

[@janjr165]

Whether Serena and Caroline knew Asha or not, it would’ve been a nice gesture to hug her at the end of the match. The fact that both Serena and Caroline hugged Taylor but not Asha speaks volumes. You’ll also notice that Serena had no verbal exchange during her handshake with Asha as well, so something happened prior to this match that caused Serena to give Asha such an artificial pleasantry. Serena wouldn’t have done this without a good reason.

[@Peace2humankind]

It's Asia but i definitely think there is a back story...it may go back years.

Great play from Townsend/Muhammad, really impressive at the net. I love the decision to go at Serena on a deciding point - her first serve return direction is more predictable than Caro's and they felt good at the net. Many of the points focused on Caro - better angles and lobs from her, but less power. The ladies just shut down the net.

[@1232beloved]

Taylor Townsend is an amazing at the net and her solid play forced Serena to overplay points at times. Caroline's net play improved throughout the tournament but was not strong enough against Townsend and Muhammad's aggressive net play. Caroline's serve was too attachable as well. I was hoping Serena would carry the duo to victory, but I don't think she had the energy after winning her 2 hour long singles championship. I hope Serena gets some rest and collects her 24th Grand Slam title at the Aussie Open 2020.
