6 Players Brings Their Best Only Against Serena, But Never Won Ever | SERENA WILLIAMS FANS 

It's annoying as a Maria fan that Serena always plays so much better against her than she normally would against other players such as these ones

It’s called the Serena curse. So many players give their all to beat Serena and then fail to measure up after. They ALL end up falling off. Playing the Williams Wall took a lot out of their best opponents from the late 90s-late 10s.

@@got2bjosh Examples include Andreescu and Halep and Osaka and Kerber. They’ve been left in a blistering hole.

@@spillomina I didn't want to say it, but there's more where that came from! So many either retired shortly after a brief moment of victory against Serena or later found themselves in drug/doping scandals.

@@spillomina Osaka has her own thing going, she is not cursed. Halep also doing her thing. Kerber was inconsistent through her career

Exactly examplary "Poetry in motion!"I am just thankful to have witnessed and enjoyed the Williams family on the tour!!

@@akubablakka me too I was crushed when she retired

Parks? Just because she is black?? You come across as a bit racist!

Oh yeah, like the 2007 US open where Justine knocked out both the Williamses. That was sweet!!! STOP CHERRY PICKING YOUR INFO!!!

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.

Did she ever won against Rybakina?

@@nonymuousThey played once and Serena was already on her way to retire.

I don’t think that Serena with her questionable character and her repeatedly bad behavior towards people who are less powerful and rich than her is a good role model for black girls.

@@carrerau7138 sophisticated racist much????

@@marcusgraham5084 It is racist to suggest that Serena is a good role model for black girls. Because it implies that black girls have a tendency to narcissism and bullyism. Which is of course not the case.

@@marcusgraham5084 I think Steffi Graf is a far better role model for black girls than Serena Williams. If you now claim that a nice white woman can’t be a good role model for black girls then you are a racist on steroids!

@@carrerau7138 Just as I suspected. Trying to justify your racist narrative.

Amen I agree with everything you said I’m just sorry she retired

@@barbarajustice9499 Aww Barbara, me too! I wish she was still playing. She’s soooo far from retiring. That magnificent being/body was just a natural Tennis player

I think 2013-2014 Serena was at her athletic best for her.

While I actually do agree that she, in my opinion, is the greatest. I think there are strong cases to be made for both Steffi and Martina, particularly Martina, considering how many matches she played in singles, doubles and mixed and dominated in all categories. In retrospect, Steffi was literally one set away from winning 2 calendar grand slams in a row and her 1989 season (winning 3 out of 4 slams) is one of the most impressive seasons in women's tennis. I think the greatest is Serena then Martina then Steffi.

@@alexpiper1115 Alex, I know you agree with my comment and thank you so much for that; but if you read what I wrote carefully I was referring to the ‘Game-Style’ and NOT accolades or the number of titles!! The reason why the entire WTA Commentators & Legends led by Billie-Jean all proclaim that the Williamses raised the bar of the Women’s Game is because of their ‘Game-Style’ and dominance. When they arrived on the scene they almost made Steffi obsolete and if you remember how brilliant Steffi was athletically and how she also dominated Navratilova with an improvement in movement and sheer power. The Williamses raised the standard even higher with their speed around the court getting to every ball, turning defence into ferocious attack, big and faster serves, devastating return of serve, introduction of the ‘Drive Volley’, standing deep in the baseline to threaten opponents serve etc. Just a higher level of aggressive Tennis. Everyone was in awe of their Game Style even before they turned professional!! I witnessed all this in the early to mid ‘90s. A lot was written about those two and we saw them arrive on Tennis Courts and they delivered. I don’t think Serena or Venus allowed themselves to reach their very very best because they Never played a full calendar but just fewer tournaments every year, injuries, Serena playing with a quarter of her lungs removed, susceptibility to Blood Clots and still beating everyone, Venus’s form dipping because of Sjogren Syndrome a debilitating illness that she has lived with since 2010! So in terms of dominating Game Styles, I’ll rank the Williamses Nõ 1, followed by Steffi then Davenport, Capriati, Sharapova, Hingis then Navratilova.

Serena won only 73 of the 240 tournaments she played. Which is only 30 %. Steffi won 50 % of her tournaments. Serena has by far the worst numbers of the “Big Five“. Her slam count may look impressive. But she won most of her slams in the 2010s which had the worst fields since the late 1950s. Safina, Safarova, Zvonareva and other mugs as slam final opponents! 😆

@@gr__msk Serena never “nailed“ Steffi, she won with 7-5 in the third. And in 1999 Steffi was only a shadow of her former self. I have far more respect of Hingis who beat peak 1996 Steffi as a 15-year-old. Or a 16-year-old Seles who beat Steffi even twice in 1990. Or even 17-year-old Sharapova who humiliated peak Serena in the Wim 04 final.

@@gr__msk #1 Seles had a losing record even against a slumping Steffi pre-stabbing. How “would“ she have “completely dominated“ Steffi without that stabbing? Some idyot got excited because a 17-year-old Serena beat over-the-hill Steffi with 7-5 in the third set. I just wanted to ram down this maroon‘s throat that one win of a 17-year-old over a great player means zilch.

@@gr__msk . Imagine thinking that Serena is better than Sharapova when Sharapova was able to destroy your fave 22 years young EXPERIENCED Serena 6-1 6-4 while Sharapova was just a CHILD. 😆

@@gr__msk carrerau7138 would stop at nothing 'trying' to prove that Graf is better than Serena in a tennis world where Serena is widely considered the best ever. It's pointless to continue. I know I have tried...lol!

Yes, I really enjoyed the match between Pennetta and Serena in Toronto 2015, and I've always wondered if at the US Open Flavia would have been able to beat Serena.

Myskina and Rezai also i think

Also klara koukalova zakapolova, when they played at the French open

@@blahkayonaFriday Unfortunately, Klara beat Serena a couple of months prior in 3 sets.

What about an edition of players whom Serena beat normally, but who gave her that one tough match and won? For instance R. Vinci or M. Sharapova?

Don't excuse about her lose. Don't be like Nadal's fans. Serena never injured in 2016

Fake injuries by Williams fans like you

@@stephenmeitai7622 she actually was with a abductor injury unless you was to blind to see that I watch both matches French Open final and us Open semifinal she was injured in both

@@malcolmnorman5694 Serena Williams never injured in 2016. Don't tell lie

@@stephenmeitai7622 did you not read my comment

Queens don’t behave like Serena at the USO in 2009, 2011 and 2018. Only boors.

Thank God she is gone.

Because she's a wall.

Retrievers really frustrate Serena. The Williams sisters like other aggressive baseliners use power to their advantage. If you managed to return balls despite their huge serves and powerful backhands, etc. that is going to annoy them. They’re forced to move around the court more and use a variety of shots. Everyone knows wrongfooting someone and getting them on the run is an effective way to better neutralize your opponent.

Zheng Jie was more than a wall. She also likes and was not afraid to attack Serena serve and her backhand was devastating. Just sad she couldn't pull out at least one match or playing at her peak more than few matches.

Plus Sybille Bammer.

​@@carrerau7138 i kbow u aint fan but come on

Leaving out Hingis, who has the best head-to-head of them all (6-7)?

Good point.

No

Don't matter if they can't win!!!

@@IN-D-YHN in that case we can watch Serena’s game in random matches. I wanna see the best of these players just like the name of the video says. It is pointless without their shots and this is even without remembering that Bertens was terribly injured during their RG match.

@@gregoryoleynik1544 only Ones wit eyes can plainly see!!!

Peak Graf was far better.

@@carrerau7138 🤣..that backhand is the weakest link and lack power..just watch their two matches..

@@Grateful1118 You mean those 2 matches in 1999? When over-the-hill Steffi won only one tournament, nevertheless ended her career ranked #3 on August 13th when Serena was not among the top ten? Dummy, the slice BH was absolutely perfect preparation for her FH bombs. I don’t think you ever held a racquet in your hand, you coach potato.

😂🤣😂..steffi was great but not as great as serena..serena beat her ass down 3-5..and serena was just 17 yrs old🤣..imagine peak serena...🤣..case closed.

@@carrerau7138 🤣😂🤣..yeah you're probably a couch potato eating bonbon

In what?

My favorite women’s match this century.

...with 23 Slams

Ok begrudger incredible player but r . T haters cant take she was one best ever

Ah the good old warriors out just cause she has muscles doesnt mean she was dude
