99 RG final! She lost her confidence and her game fell appart (evident in this match). She wasnt moving or returning well. Her ground strokes lacked the agression and the depth that they once had. She wasn't moving well either. That french open destroyed her mentaly and psychologically - she was no longer confident and she became a choker. She just didnt care and didnt want to deal with it. She folded. Had she won the RG and worked on her serve and movement, she would have won MUCH more.

Hingis' problem wasn't the power. It was her confidence, serve and movement. The problem with her serve was racquet head speed, and she could perhaps had a little more knee-bend. In many of her matches, it didn't look like she was trying - her serve just got the point started. Her next problem was the movement (which was also affected by ankle injuries). Had she been a little quicker and less lazy, the power wouldnt have been a problem. Then theres the confidence. The 99 RG final destroyed her.

@kljMN2, the 99 RG final destroyed her. It shattered her confidence and the rest of her game fell apart, which is evident in this match. She was no longer returning well, she wasnt moving well, and her serve was terrible - she was trying to get a high % of first serves but what good is that when your serving at 60-70mph? I dont think she cared anymore, at this point in her career.

It was these sorts of beatdowns that put Hingis out of the game and propelled Serena to win 12 more slams.
serena serves better now than she did then... but holy crap... look at her move in this video. and look at her face, such concentration. she looked like a tiger in that ensemble. i wonder how long it'll be before another woman comes along with serena's physical gifts...
