Serena handcuffed the younger Serena, Naomi, who gave it a good fight. Naomi was hard to break.
Serena made up her mind early in the match. She was not going to push and get broken. She knew that would be suicide. So she came out of the gate serving well, moving well, returning well.
It's as if someone told her her opponent was some Siberian Queen. lol lol.
Naomi couldn't even get a break point. Serena was in no mood of taking any chance. She knows what Naomi can do.
That was superb from the Compton Queen !!!!!!!!!! Let's keep it up against Boozkova. No break point please. Go after her like she stole something from you. Don't push!!!!!!!!

SERENA vs Naomi 3.0
Re: SERENA vs Naomi 3.0Naomi played very well. Maybe I missed it, but I see that's she's employing the leaping Kasatkina-style BH. I know Daria didn't invent it but I can't of the payer who started it. Monfils? In any event, some of those BH duels were ferocious. Serena played the way I've been hoping for, exactly as she did against Halep at the WTA championships after losing badly to Halep in the round robin. It was ferocious from start to finish. That's the way she must play her GS finals.
Re: SERENA vs Naomi 3.0Naomi: I played really well but she played amazing. It was a very positive match. I learned a lot today. Naomi looked very positive in her press conference. Re: SERENA vs Naomi 3.0Naomi was just too damn happy after that loss!! Pressure relieved
Re: SERENA vs Naomi 3.0I think it's because she played well and now know what to work on next time. Playing against Serena is the best kind of coaching. |
