Serena Williams beat Victoria Azarenka in three sets to retain her title. It wasn't the best final I have ever watched but it was certainly the most gripping to say the least.
Serena came across as nervous and tentative in both the first and second set and she served about six double faults.
In the third set, she was able to regroup and win the set and the match convincingly with a few more aces and winners.
This was always going to be a tough match for Victoria Azarenka and her serve do not help matters.
Victoria served about five double faults and in the third set she looked a little tired and was making more unforced errors.
However there are many good things about Victoria's game like her coverage of the court was excellent.
If Victoria works on her serve and her fitness I'm sure she will win many more grand slams.
Alternatively Serena now has an opportunity not only to establish her legacy but to make tennis history.
If she wins one more grand slam she will be tied with Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova and I am confident that in the next year or so Serena will achieve this.
