Only wnated he to win cos of the unfairness of her critics, but yeah good win serena

Serena completely destroyed Sharapova! This was the first game on the women's side that i watched for every single minute!

Sharapova failed to even muster anything in this match! Completely destroyed in 1hr and 3mins! At least now her critics can shut up forever!

Williams is now world number 14! From 81!

I'm glad someone finally sharapped the noisy chic. I couldn't believe it could be done in such a humiliating manner. Welldone Serena! What a way to announce ur return!

YES!

SERENA IS BACK! This is the best news of the year!

Hope she can go back to the No1. Position she deserves SOON!

*where is Vennie girl?*

"I would like to dedicate this win to my sister, who is not here, her name is Yetunde," Williams said - her voice cracking with emotion - of her sister who was shot dead in Los Angeles in 2003.

"I just love her so much. A couple of days ago I said if I win this it will be for her so thanks Yetunde," added the American, who will now climb to 14th in the world on Monday.

@Bola, Venus has a wrist injury.

Congrats to Serena,didnt watch the match but i heared she steamrolled noisy maria.

she looks sexier aswell , damn i woke up to the post match interview

did all i could to watch it 2.30am

@ loverbwoy,

you needed to have seen the game live. It was a proper spanking! [b]Sharap[/b]ova lost the ability to squack like a duck after that game!

lol her (sharapova) grunts are getting louder aint they?

I saw a bit of the highlight, man was she pulling off those shots! strong and fast as ever.
After all the injuries and outside influences i was thinking she gave up on tennis already, even thought she would only make it to the fourth round

What a comeback!  _{more reason to watch tennis again}

Ohh y'all. Yesterday's match was amazinG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was soo frigging happy. Serena won.

All those people calling her unfit should show their faces now.

She definitely kicked sharapova's ass. I Love maria though, really. But im proud of serena.

FedExpress is two sets up (7-6, 6-4) in the final of the men's singles. Can he win the title without dropping a set in this tournament?

Oh yes he can,keeping my fingers crossed,but gonzalez is putting up a good challenge

Federer has done it 7-6,6-4,6-4.That guy is well on track to beat sampras record of 14 grand slams.Kudos to Gonzalez though

Hail the king!

     

It took him 140 minutes to overcome Gonzalez.

When questioned over her fitness, Serena answered:

"I think it's all because I have a large bosom and a large a**. I have a large a** and it always just looks like I'm bigger than the rest of the girls."

"I've been the same weight for I don't know how long and I could lose 20 pounds and I'm still going to have these bosoms and I'm going to have this a** and that's just the way it is."




Now I know why she has alot of fans.   

God Damnnn, Is that Serena

Rattatatatatatatatattarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, WOOF WOOF, She is HOTTTTTTT, Okay I'll stop now

I dont like federer to be winning all the time,
I have never supported him in a single game since he began his winning streak,
I think i can do better

How come no one's interested in the "small" (as referred to by Davydenko) tournaments currently going on?

Can someone also tell me how the round robin format works?

Dont think they are showing them on tv or are they ,just read about it online.i know Hingis won in tokyo but there are so many going on.
Round robin,i think is when every player plays each and everyone in the tourney/group whichever the case,they were arguing about it on tv so i don't know how it would really work.It sounds strenuous
