US Open 2019 Win your first 'Grand Slam' by giving up eight games to a rival gripped by nerves
The US Open women's final was the most unequal in terms of age of the protagonists. There has never been so much difference. Serena and Andreescu are separated by 18 years and 263 days. When the American won the first of her 23 Grand Slam in September 1999, her rival was not born.
Serena, who had premiered motherhood in 2017, returned to the competition with the goal of breaking the record for big tournaments won by Margaret Court. The Australian stayed at 24 and she continued with 23.
The American wanted her daughter Olympia to see her win, but she has not succeeded so far. After three great lost finals, two at Wimbledon and one on the slopes of New York, Serena still can't get that slab off. That pressure that made him lose his papers a year ago in the final with Osaka reappeared before Andreescu. It should be remembered that in the only precedent between the two, in the fight for the Toronto crown 27 days ago, he had to withdraw to the conclusion of the fourth game due to back discomfort. The Canadian of Romanian origin dominated 3-1 in the initial sleeve.
Despite the shoulder injury that has only allowed him to play nine tournaments in 2019, he has premiered his palmars with the victories at the Indian Wells and Toronto premieres. Monday premiering your Top10 condition. Nine out of rankking. The brand new champion rises to sixth place with only eight appearances in the current year because of injuries.
Serena started very nervous because she was aware of what was at stake. He committed two double fouls in the first game that cost him the 'break' against. Andreescu stood with a favorable 0-2. He had gone out to hit sticks and give up long exchanges. They made a direct kick for touching the ball in the net and had the first killing look with the chair judge. This time there was Carlos Ramos.
The Williams slammed the pressure and screaming when she had the chance. The Canadian reached 3-1 without any error not forced by the nine of her opponent. Meghan Markle, wife of Prince Harry, made the trip from London to New York to support the American. I was sitting next to mother Oracene Williams.
Andreescu, his own, had five new break balls with 4-2. The young Canadian's right was impossible to counter. The local hero saved the furniture but still behind it on the scoreboard. I lost the initial assault with the third double foul and the tragedy in Arthur Ashe was chewed. Most of those present had paid the entrance to see Serena win.
In the continuation, the script did not change. Bianca was 2-0. The Williams had four 'break' balls in the third game to re-engage in the final. I got it in the fourth. He was on the verge of crying, as in the last two Wimbledon finals and the last in the fourth 'major'.
Each game at the service was a martyrdom for Serena. Give five times his serve, which is his best weapon. Save the first match ball to the rest with 5-1. Nobody expected the comeback but on the track was a great champion. Chain four games. Andreescu threatened to throw the racket. The public rose and began to play the final. The noise was deafening. The natural tennis player from Ontario cuts the bleeding to make sure, at the very least, the sudden death. He screamed louder than the almost 24,000 spectators who went against him.
