The GREATEST Match in Women's Tennis HISTORY | Serena vs Dementieva | Wimbledon 2009 Semi-Final 

Serena's serve is just a work of art and it saved her SO many times in her career. I remember watching this match live - It was so good that I ended up being 10 minutes late to my summer class! It was a true grand slam moment. You could hear a pin drop in the audience because the tension was so high.

- I wouldn’t say greatest but it’s up there. I still think that title belongs to Venus vs Davenport 2005 Wimbledon final 😭

Still amazes me how Serena pulled this off. She was off balance, out of sort and was playing defence this whole match and Demienteva was playing arguably her best match in her career.

This is a top of the list of women’s Wimbledon matches. I’ll never forget that at the net volley from Serena to save match point at 4-5 in the third! Definitely a classic.

Dementieva is the greatest player who has not win a Gran slam

Im proud to watch this on live TV. Not only the score but the quality of the strokes were phenomenal

This is why Serena is the goat !!! The competition is very good but serena is better !!! The greatest comeback queen ever !!!

Yep. I'll never forget this amazing match as long as I live. I remember watching it live on TV and being nervous as a cat about Serena being so close to losing. Although Elena played great tennis, Serena, as usual, proved why she's the greatest and the consistent comeback queen. God bless her! Thanks for posting this very memorable & enjoyable tennis match from back in the day, Tennis Top Shots!

I’m a Serena fan, but must admit to feeling sorry for Dementieva. She played her heart out and yet it wasn’t enough.

This is how close serena was of loosing this match

That short off pace angle she hits at

Even after 11 years I still remember watching this live! Thanks for the highlights

This is what the Queen did never forget undisputed GOAT

The best match!!! I can watch it 1000 times. Serena is simply the best

This was such a great match. The grunting was also A+ 😂

Venus Williams vs Lindsay Davenport 2005 Wimbledon Final was incredible.

This is why Serena is the GOAT - to be able to take your opponent's best shot and still win. Dementieva and Roddick were heartbroken this Wimbledon tournament - both of them played the matches of their lives.

Elena improved her serve late in her career. 2008 and 2009 was about her peak. She definitely would have won grand slams if she served like this her entire career

My list of top 5 the greatest womens matches:

Well done Tennis TopShots👍 A great match! It's been on my DVR for years. Serena showed her true greatness, Dementieva (who played a great match) Threw EVERYTHING at Serena,and it still wasn't enough. I want to give you all an example of what Great commentary is, I have the ESPN version of this match called by Mary Jo Fernandez and Cliff Drysdale as this dramatic match went on into the 3rd MJF said- "Dementieva must be thinking how much better do I have to play to win this match?(Her words give Serena the absolute credit,she doesn't often get, though deserved for withstanding someone playing an A level game but still losing)CD would repeat what MJF said after that,that is the only example I've heard,of a commentator being truthfully observant during a match and accurate in regards to what they are seeing,this match is a prime example of what Serena has said and what fans of SW have known is 100% true the vast majority of these woman Are Not intimidated by Serena they very often play way over their heads to try(sometimes successfully) to beat her,commentators tennis writers,non fans put forth lazy disengenuious tropes about supposed intimation,fear,them letting Serena beat them,and weak era players. This match and many others depict the absolute falsehood of these anti Serena agenda filled lies. Dementieva served out of her mind, she was known for a weak first and 2nd Serve,with record setting double faults, but served at a whole other level,many players wouldn't have beat her that day but again it shows how deep Serena can,will and does dig and how tough she is. GOAT/ QUEEN 👑/ICON👏👍
