This match breaks my heart :((( so happy for Sloane but I wanted the legend to win one more :(

[@tlovesgreens8244]

Me too. Had Venus won this match...she would have won #8.

[@ben6883]

@@tlovesgreens8244 indeed.... Venus vs Garbine @Wimbledon broke my heart. Venus vs Caroline @WTA finals broke my heart. and then this match too :((

[@tlovesgreens8244]

Lol I Know. But atleast none has caught up to her. Maria got 5.

[@mlorocker]

This one was legit the one that got away. This and 2017 Wimbledon’s were right at her grasp but she choked the big points away

[@saurabhchakrabarty7362]

Totally! This is like an offensive video for me. That's how much it hurts.

[@DeeDee-lm1cl]

If Venus had won this, she would have reached the finals at Aus Open, Wimbledon, US Open & WTA Finals in 2017! Such a bittersweet year. Sloane defended this match with everything so congrats to her!

[@realme1535]

I believe had she won the Australian open she wouldve went on to win Miami, Wimbledon, US Open and wta finals

[@adolphthomas2230]

Concentrate..& Keep Calm Stephens 😜.. You Can Win!! Blessings JAH BLESS!!

[@user-gq8cq8ue3k]

I truly believe if Venus made it to the final that year she could have won. She just could not capitalize

[@Douglas-1]

Thank you so much for this wonderful match. Heartbreaker for Venus, but a wonderful win for Sloane.

[@albertquigley5236]

Miss this form from both of them

[@DeathRowExecutions]

man. venus fought hard. I am happy her and serena are still playing at their age. nothing to be ashamed of. awesome match

[@MalcolmAli]

Heartbreaking loss for Venus. Should have won this 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@angelflorespacheco8992]

Sloane Was BETTER

[@ilovetati91]

She was outplayed

[@MICHAEL1269.]

I love Venus Williams!❤❤❤

[@ifeelit219]

Venus should’ve won this match, she probably would’ve won the whole thing.

[@seaward2006]

Love Venus but she played SO badly in the first set. Sloane deserved this win for sure

[@cole7726]

@@seaward2006 and Sloane played SO badly in the 2nd...

[@anthonyyusef5897]

Venus has become almost a tragic figure. She has shown so much class and grace in her career but you have to question some of her decisions. Her coaching decisions, her tactical decisions. Her decision to just let Serena soar past her with little resistance. Serena wasnt always the much better player. I would love to see Venus do an interview where she's asked these tough questions. Havent seen one yet. Serena sought a coach that improved her as a player. Venus' game never got better, her weaknesses stayed her weaknesses. She never became the all out net attacker that she should've. Her greatest success was on a grass court because she played a certain way. On other surfaces she stayed on the baseline where her inefficiencies in her strokes were exposed. Why she has allowed herself to become an afterthought is a headscratcher.

[@iago07]

This was a really sad one. Wanted it so badly for Venus 😩

[@comienzaconc]

Great Match!! Thank you.

[@MrCySy]

what a match I love both of them girls

[@quincydanastorg6212]

I'M SO PROUD OF YOU SLOANE.

In love with that handshake 🥰💖

[@katherinebeasles4416]

Please post Venus vs Zheng Saisai 2019 next pls :)

[@Make_Australia_British_Again]

Seeing the player Stephens is now and how she manages to keep a good ranking despite losing all the time, really frustrates me because Venus has had the better career and is a better player. Shame she lost his match

[@angelatanurdzic7508]

Amazing game by Sloane 👏❤️

[@bennyice]

Hope we can get this version of Sloane back. Easily one of the most talented women on the tour but mentally stuck.

[@Lederius18]

Sloane is the most humble tennis player ever! I really am hoping that she can make a major comeback 2024!

[@dwyaneohmar9418]

I still after almost 7 years can’t find the will to finish this match

[@sharonmorgan171]

Venus have the match into her hands and give it away I was so madddddd

[@mirroslavvw]

Never want to take anything away from Sloane who earned this. However it breaks my heart, more than the two grand slam finals she was in and lost, for Venus. She really could have gotten this one.

[@Suri-A_]

Its hard to imagine Venus losing she's a world champion for many years nevertheless Congratulations Sloane

[@dianebennett1661]

Venus is a better player if she would just put the ball on the court instead of the net

[@rocheanspencer9979]

Guys I had the happiest times in 2017 and the most disappointing times. I felt serena had already won 6 austrila open like come on let her have this one ...think about this for true venus fans ..serena whips venus ass now .but she doesnt do it to others on the final now. I don't think sersena would have all those wins if it wasn't venus I feel she knows venus diddnt have that killer instinct against her lil sister. Again venus had taken a back seat and it goes to serena bein the first to win a slam ..also when maria beat serena in 2004 wimbeldon final..it was venus who beat Maria ass in 2005 wimbeldon semi....venus plays big sista all the time .serena blessed to have venus. Also remember venus was playing some of her best tennis that us open if she would have beat serena in she clearly would have one the championship..but what happens serena looses in next rd and not one believes it.. ...I think she didnt want to stop serena from getting the calendar slam which serena a had never held.. Yes serena slam . but not calendar slam folks. Venus has always put serena first . I wish serena could have allowed venus to shine ...venus 2017 was her come back and retirement to go out on top Australian...wimbeldon....us open and wta finals ...yes she made the most money 2017 4million but damn it was hurt breaking for all of us who still believe in venus star William's.....could win.at this point I'll take wta win to give her 50wta championships Also if venus had beat hings semi final1999 us open ...she clesrly would have beat serena and would have changed history... Think about what venus said in her Australian loss speech she said serena wins have also been her wins .. when she didnt make it ..should have made it couldnt make it to finals it was serena wins as well as her wins cause she feels they both win when is a Williams. I believe she has taught her self to accept serena for the one to get the shine .. That's what's so special about venus and that's what no venus fan can get over. ca Because we all want to see her hold a grand slam trophy one more time and we almost got to see it 3 different times in 2017 ......here's to everyone still rooting for venus. Good luck vee

[@Sabinelisickifansss]

Stephens can never find this form again

[@tlovesgreens8244]

I beg to differ. I think she can.

[@JordanjamesX]

I think Sloane mind off of tennis.

[@jameshampton5659]

Tennis fans love to make definitive statements then look like fools when they’re wrong. She was there once she can do it again. She sucks at the moment but she’s a champion. She’ll be just fine with time.

[@aaronwilkins1843]

Agrewm think this was a defining point of her life where injury spurred her on. She got lucky on several points here and it was her stubborn defence which allowed her to stick through this match (plus the bizarre performance by Venus in set 1). I dnt think she will ever be this good again, and certainly not for an extended period of time.

[@stickyanddaddy1569]

Team Williams!!

[@maximilian2974]

I wish Sloane was still playing this well.

[@Brandon-qr2or]

Venus had a slow start. She dropped a lot of balls in the net in the first four games

[@iago07]

It was a promising year for US Women’s tennis with all 4 Americans in the Final 4... Venus is the only one still out there whooping these girls’ asses 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@wtfa2910]

Is Venus the wealthiest person in that Stadium

[@comosedice6104]

It's crazy how venus never won a slam in 2017.

[@AlexLopez-ov1vs]

If venus won that point at 1:47 she would have when to the final ! It was that moment she had it ! 😑

[@ashton-leejohnson4758]

This match is so disappointing especially since Sloane is so inconsistent but just happened to be on this particular day..😢smh

[@FloridaIndependent]

These two players are the most inconsistent.

[@markthomas3730]

hahahahaha...NOTHING IN THIS WORLD MAKES ME HAPPIER THAN SEEING ONE OR BOTH OF THESE cHEATING sISTERS LOSE A MATCH !

[@roter13]

Considering how Sloane is playing now, I wish that Venus won this match instead. Sloane is an absolute shell of herself.

[@DeathRowExecutions]

sloane seemed nicer to venus than she was when serena beat her at the us open

[@claudepolicano1632]

Always a gracious loser love you venus

[@rosesangels2824]

I swear Slone was being coached. She constantly keeps looking up at her box, and her coach and team were very animated.

[@jerrylaw788]

Venus choked because Venus was 2 points away from winning this match in the 3rd set and Venus couldn't control her nerves and she made too many mistakes at the worst time of the match and Venus should have won this match but she lost because Venus choked

[@user-gq8cq8ue3k]

I cried after Venus lost :(

[@NehemiahsMusic1]

Uhhhh I hated this match Venus should have won 🏆

[@AFCompany]

4 years later and this is still painful to watch. This was Venus slam to win.
