WIMBLEDON WOMENS FINAL THREAD

All England Lawn Tennis Championships | Wimbledon, England

Centre (14:00 UK start)

Saturday, 7 July 2012


A Radwanska Pol (3) v S Williams US (6) Women's Singles




Agnieszka Radwanska will become the first Polish player to win a Grand Slam should she triumph at Wimbledon on Saturday but blocking her path is four-time champion Serena Williams.

Williams's serve throughout this tournament has been formidable, with a record-breaking 24 aces coming from the American's racquet during her semi-final victory over Victoria Azarenka.

John McEnroe described the 30-year-old's performance as "the best exhibition of serving I have ever seen".

The 13-time Grand Slam champion has beaten Radwanska in straight sets in their only two previous encounters , with one of those victories coming during the quarter-finals at Wimbledon four years ago.

Congratulations to Serena Williams on a remarkable win & being 5 times Wimbledon Champion.

The hate on Serena Williams on this thread is absolutely disgusting!

Serena has had a very tricky last few years.
Blood Clot, losing parts of her lungs, Career threatening injuries/surgeries.

Yet she shows this desire, hunger & will to win to get back in this game.
Shes a brilliant athlete & an awesome tennis player.

Credit to Radwanska who put on a courageous & brave fight. She showed brilliant fight in the 2nd set but in the 3rd, Serena ramped up the gear & took control to win the Championship in style.

The haters (of Serena Williams) can keep on hating - Serena Williams will just keep on winning!

You're overplaying her medical complications.

After a pulmonary embolism, she will have been on warfarin and clean to thin the blood and help disperse the clot.

After 6 months she's fine to play again and I would imagine has clean injections before long flights.

She will have some scarring her lungs but she has not lost part of them.

I know, I had the same thing, and hasn't hindered me at all.

Whenever I see Serena Williams winning I always think of Pat Cash.

What a plonker he was saying back in 07 I think it was that she would never make it back to the top!
