2011 US Open

[mark73]

Serena is a whinger.

You've actually got to hand it to Williams in the it's all about me stakes. She gets asked a question about Stosur and spends the next 5 minutes talking about herself. And she's done that before after a loss.

Really happy too for her fans that have stuck with her, Matt and the likes. Enjoy it guys.

Thanks mate. This has defiantely made all the late nights, early mornings, close matches, chokes, almost chokes, shanked forehands, following live scores etc. all worth it. I got to say I had tears in my eyes when she was 6-2, 5-3 up and again when holding that trophy, just couldn't believe it, it was just simply a once in a lifetime performance. Nobody could expect Sam to come out there at that stage and play like that, she simply thrashed Serena Williams in a grand slam final. Not even in my dreams did I think that was possible, it was so clean, just a true champion performance. Apart from Serena serving poorly it wasn't Serena losing, it was Sam winning that match on her terms. Just the increase in confidence after her poor performances at RG and Wimby is another thing as well, just really seemed like she was destined for the title here especially after what happened at RG 2010.

So proud of you Sammy! Enjoy it, you have worked hard enough for it Now I might go watch this match 10 times in a row.

Williams should be suspended for her pathetic performance, insulting the umpire. Absolute disgrace, and a blight on the game of tennis if she gets away with it.

 

[Tassieboy]

The crowd hooted when the argument with the umpire as if they were some moronic European idiots.

 

[hirdy_is_champ]

I can just imagine if Serena actually won after all that fiasco she would not be welcomed back here with open arms at all. Probably wouldn't even get a visa. AO will be interesting. Hopefully a torrent pops up.

Congrats Sam!!!!

Heard about the win on the way to work, awesome stuff.


Takes me back to 1997- was at high school (Stupid early 8am classes ), when the announcement came over the loud speaker: "attention everyone. Patrick Rafter has just won the US Open".

She didnt threaten to kill one again?

Hope they don't take her press conferance shit.

 

[red+black]

What will her ranking be now? I'm thinking she'll only jump 2-3 places.

What chance will she be of getting #1 within 3-6 months?

 

[Rohan25]

Brilliant Sam, brilliant!

She didnt threaten to kill one again?

"Aren't you the one who screwed me over last time here?" "You’re out of control. ... You’re a hater, and you’re just unattractive inside. ... And I never complain. Wow.” “Really, don’t even look at me.” Who would do such a thing? You’re punishing me for expressing my emotion.” And she continued with crap. Kept insulting, just trying to intimidate.

 

[Kaan]

What chance will she be of getting #1 within 3-6 months?

I dunno about that but she only needs to defend 2 3rd round and a 1st round in grand slams until the next US Open

Lots of points for the taking.

 

[The_Todd07]

Personal insults towards the umpire. Didn't actually threaten her physically but made it fairly clear that if they bumped into each other in an empty corridor, Serena would probably thump her. Standard petulant, all about me crap from her

No. 7, which is about right given her other slam results. Still has YEC SF to defend at the end of the year but who honestly cares right now.

 

[JimDocker]

Brilliant, brilliant performance form Stosur. I do not have the same emotional attachment as you guys as I am English, but I was cheering and clapping and willing her to win.

A class act with the racquet and the way she handles herself. I hope she can carry on now and build a career of Majors victories.

 

[red+black]

Go Sammy. Win the YEC, Oz and French! You go girl

 

[smoovy]

Chances of Serena losing on September 11? 1000-1

^ idiot

Fortunately I had no takers.

Having watched Serena play this morning against Woz, I cannot see Sam winning. In fact if she gets 8 games in total that is a great effort. Not being pessimistic, just realistic. Serena is one of the best big match players, ever.

I have never been so happy to be so wrong!

I am elated for Sam, actually lost for words and it was a bit emotional watching her win. This is just an amazing day to be an Australian who loves tennis.

 

[hirdy_is_champ]

To think Sam had done so ordinarily in all the GS this year, then to come out and get this one is such a great effort mentally.

No crazy antics from Sam after winning either, also very complimentary towards Serena despite all the shit. I've never been one of these people to vehemently dislike Serena, but I really don't like her now. Deep down she's a flog, her sister Venus seems like a much classier girl.

 

[smoovy]

Can someone tell me how many code violations Serena got? I thought after you had 3 you defaulted.

1. Warning
2. Point penalty
3. Default

One, I think she swore at the umpire at that 1-0 game.

Really couldn't give a crap about Serena, today is all about our Sammy!

 

[The Passenger]

so happy to wake up and see sammy win.

even if she never wins another grand slam she can now look back and go at least i've got this one.

and even if she isn't the most gifted player, she's always been a class act and a great girl to listen to.

as for serena, it's almost as good to hear she went down in a typical shower of serena glory. one of the worst people in the sporting world...
