Dementieva always played Serena well, but Serena always had the last word. Serena's a mentally tough cookie, give props to Venus and Sharapova 4 beating her at Wimby. Serena's the reason Dementieva retired without a slam.
Yaa! me too, point @4:11 my all time favorite, classic Serena moment, I've watched this so many times - with Serena no lead is safe, you have to bulldoze her off the court, Venus has had some success doing it at Wimby.
She also rocked Dementieva at a semi final down under in a similar fashion enroute to the 2009 title.
It's stupid for him to say "had that shot been wide" blah blah blah, it wasn't wide and Dementieva isn't serving for the match so move on. We could say if such and such had not happened, then the outcome would've been different all day. He might as well have said " had Serena missed all of her serves in that game Dementieva would be serving for the match" for as much sense as it makes to harp on a ball that was in, however close to not being in...
Looks like you can't even understand your own words: "usual had the better groundstrokes and THRASHED serena...." Nowhere did you say anything about Dementieva's counterpunching. You said her groundstrokes were better than Serena's, which is simply not true.
OMG - women's match of the year.... this is as good as it gets!!!! i sure hope dementieva wins a slam - she sure has improved her serve and her ground strokes are amazing!!!

The players today are fit and strong there wont be any one player dominate for a long time again! there are 5 or 6 players capable of beating any player i doubt very much we will see a all williams final again, the other girls are just to good for them now, venus has never won at the australian or french, they had some success at wimbledon but thoses days are well gone now.
Don't count on your words just yet. Yes many of them can beat the sisters but the 4 of the last 5 Slams are won by the sisters. Yes they aren't the Serena and Venus back then but they can still play. And as longs as they can play they can win. And this just proves that although Elena can beat Serena, she didn't. I think your jumping in to conclusions way too much by saying they can't win again. And hello there were only 2 occasions where Serena or Venus didnt win Wimbledon the last 9 years.
I just got home and caught the last of this on the tube. And All Williams Finals! Yes! I love them both but I'm rooting for Venus. I want her to get number 6. Although, Serena leads 5-2 against Venus, she has the edge. But I would really like to see Venus win. Should be a good match all around though.
I could cry for Dementieva retiring without a slam :( she should come back

The point at 4:11 by Serena has to be my favourite of the whole match.

Dementieva played the match of her life, served beyong herself, Serena played a very average game, and still managed to win. Go figure.

Nothing? I guess Dementieva lost to someone who can only serve. Now that's humiliating!

We've heard that refrain before... "oh the sisters are done, over the hill." There will be another Williams final next year.

Serena: I'm praying for you to win. I really hope you keep playing like you did here.
Elena Dementieva: Is a great player also and cannot think of anyone else other than Venus and few otheres who can give Serena a run for her money.
Nice try!
