SERENA Overcome With Nerves
Serena Williams Says It's 'Honestly Crazy' to Be Heading Into Another Grand Slam Final "It's a lot," Serena Williams said of losing in previous Grand Slam finals By Lindsay Kimble September 06, 2019 10:51 AM The last three times that Serena Williams reached a Grand Slam final, she lost —so she knows the pressure is on this time around. Williams, 37, defeated the number 5 seed Ukranian Elina Svitolina on Thursday night at Arthur Ashe stadium in Queens in the 2019 U.S. Open women’s singles semifinals. Defeating Svitolina in a 6-3, 6-1 victory, Williams clinched her 101st U.S. Open win, tying Chris Evert’s tournament record. After the match, Williams told reporters, “To be in yet another final, it seems honestly crazy,” according to the U.S. Open’s website. “But I don’t really expect too much less,” Williams continued. “I definitely know I could have played better. I’m just focusing on not that, just the next match.” Those previous finals losses, Williams said, bring “so many different emotions.” Said the superstar athlete, “It just brings out so many highs and lows, nerves and expectations. It’s a lot.” The tournament ends with the women’s singles final on Saturday, Sept. 7 at 4 p.m. EST and the men’s singles final on Sunday, Sept. 8, also at 4 p.m. EST. Re: SERENA Overcome With NervesHer body is ready, so she'll be ready!! To hell with nerves!!
Re: SERENA Overcome With NervesShe had the wrong strategy.. It wall about serving big.. Never adjusted. She only had 1 ace against Wang. The movement was perfect and allowed her not to make mistakes. here she was glued to the ground. And the big serves were not going in. She climbed out of 1-5 by not making errors. Re: SERENA Overcome With NervesAnyway, Bianca is hard to beat when she is wearing that voodoo thing on her right arm. lol lol lol. I said it in the LIVE Chat the other day. Someone had to force her to take it off
Re: SERENA Overcome With NervesNerves glue you to the ground.
Re: SERENA Overcome With NervesWang said she could not handle the power which is why Serena could hold back on the serve. Bianca can however, so she has to go big, but with the back spasm fears, the big serve is not yet grooved. Re: SERENA Overcome With NervesBianca did not spank the few first serves that were not big.
Re: SERENA Overcome With NervesSerena can't be confident with her serve given her back and just go into automatic. She has to think about the serve, then the back and then adjust. It's a lot. Re: SERENA Overcome With NervesA one dimensional player like Serena. Who relies on her big serve will never get the 24 unlike Maria a complete and beautiful player. |
