Serena Williams destroys Errani to face Azarenka in the final – 2012 US Open

Mammamia!!! SerenaZilla strikes again! 

“I`ve practiced with a lot of guys ranked 400th or 500th, I`ve never played with a man who hits as hard as she does.”, this is Errani’s’ comment after the match ehm.. the annihilation.

Too good, just too good Serena. The American is playing at another level, a couple of categories above everybody. Sara just tried to defend herself against the missiles coming from Serena’s racket. 9 aces, 38 winners, 24 points won on her first service out of 26. 60 total points won against Sara’s 35.

From Serena

“I remember 13 years ago I painted my nails with OPI No Kidding polish every day, and before the final I did the same thing, red, OPI red,” said Williams, recalling her first Open victory in 1999. “And then this year my nails are already done so I don’t have to worry about it.”

“I definitely played better today,” said Williams. “I played better than my other matches. And playing someone like Errani, you have to go better… I was more consistent. I did make some errors, but I was more consistent than I felt I was in the past.”

From Sara

“I just try first set to be a bit more on the defense, to receive a bit more far away, and play her high balls and try to make that game — then was not so good, so I changed and try to be a bit more aggressive.” said Sara “In any case, it was very difficult,”
 

Head to Head with Azarenka

Serena leads 9-1. Last time they played it was at the semifinal of the 2012 Olympic Games and it was an ominous 6-1 6-2. 

Please Serena… try to be human! What a player!
