I gotta love a good upset
i always root for the underdog in finals like this

Yea and she EARNED it too. Forced Serena out of her comfort zone.

 

[malbaker86]

No one really beat Serena. She beat herself.

I swear I got a feeling Serena gonna get up there at the trophy presentation and say something along those lines too

 

[Deflatedhoopdreams]

I'm royally pissed. Especially at you fukkboys jinxing her. And I have to go to work

fukk you

If you didn't lose your rent money.

And you have to go to work??

when she lost the second set and her serve at 5 - 3 in the third, i thought it was over.
Great match, glad she won. The same person winning over and over ruins the sport

closet racists lighting up my facebook feed like crazy right now

 

[FloorGeneral]

Not really because


Nerves and pressure got to her again, as GOAT as she is she's still human. Tight strokes, errant serving. These girls are resorting to pushing knowing there's a chance Serena will self-destruct, unfortunately it's working.

Nah, that "Serena gave the match away" shyt isn't gonna fly. Yes she played below her best, but Kerber earned this win. Serena was down 2-5 and had the serve on her racket for 5-5, and didn't finish. Kerber gets her props.

She only got herself to blame for being a mental midget.

She only got herself to blame for being a mental midget.

but she actually represents the limits of mental toughness for female athletes though. Djokovic isn't blowing serve up 40-30 like that to stay in a championhip match. It's true, but feminists hate the truth.

 

[Formerly known as...]

45 errors for Serena to 13 for Kerber

bruh I think Serena goes out before the finals at Roland Garros too and she's going to have a tough time at Wimbledon. Still think she wins the US Open this year.

Rolland garros I don't see her winning but Wimbledon and US I can. Would be fitting to equal Steffi at Wimbledon then break it at US

Welp....you're probably not going to wanna watch the men's finals tomorrow morning then

This is what burns the most.

I waited 5 months for her to redeem herself from the U.S. Open

YEP I was thinking that too.

Im like yeah its Serena, shell just hit an ace. Then on second serve im like.. Its serena shell just - wait, serena double faults during these moments too, she aint a guy. Never would you be thinking this of any top male player at that moment

 

[JameisNewton]

^That's why we all need Cam to win next week

Naw.

which WTA player is more mentally tough than her on the aggregate?

 

[Liu Kang]

Nah, that "Serena gave the match away" shyt isn't gonna fly. Yes she played below her best, but Kerber earned this win. Serena was down 2-5 and had the serve on her racket for 5-5, and didn't finish. Kerber gets her props.

And on that 4-5 point where Serena could have tied the game 5-5, it's Kerber who made a winner (on a return, if i recall right). So yeah, Angie earned that one.
