Serena Williams will equal legendary Steffi Graf’s record of 22 Grand Slam titles in the Open era if she wins her match against Kerber.
This year alone, Serena failed in both Grand Slam finals.
`I don’t want to talk about failure, I don’t like failure. I don’t want to talk, I don’t want to think about the match. This is the biggest moment of my career and I missed it,` Serena said after the loss.
Kerber is one of the people blocking Serena’s ambition to win her 22nd Grand Slam title.
Serena’s fans are worried about her.
`Of course, it was important that she beat me in Australia because that was the closest we had to each other. And as an opponent, she’s very good. She’s well-rounded, moves well and is also quite good.`
The German tennis player defeated Venus Williams in the semi-finals, causing Serena’s hopes of meeting her sister in the Grand Slam final for the first time since 2009 to vanish.
The bravery of a champion always exists in Serena.
`I believe that confidence always lies peacefully deep in the hearts of champions. I think that’s how I feel right now. I feel fine, just like every other tournament I attend. But
`In Australia, I made a lot of mistakes. Kerber made fewer unforced errors. It was still a three-set match. She was ready to win and showed no fear. I learned that from Kerber
Australian Open 2016 saw Angelique Kerber reach the Grand Slam final for the first time, and she immediately won a major title.
With good psychological momentum and the lack of luck with titles that Serena has shown this year, it cannot be ruled out that the German left-handed tennis player will once again create a shock.
The Wimbledon women’s singles final takes place at 8:00 p.m. today, July 9, Hanoi time.
