Defending champion Serena Williams celebrates with the trophy after defeating Jelena Jankovic of Serbia to win the women’s singles final on day thirteen of the Sony Ericsson Open on Saturday in Key Biscayne, Florida. This is Serena’s 5th win for Sony and her 29th career title.
Jelena Jankovic, had only nice things to say about Serena after coming in 2nd:
“Just amazing power,” Jankovic said. “I cannot match up against her. Just too much power for me to handle, especially on a good day where she’s playing well. I need to improve some things, but I will never be like that.” [source]
Congrats to Serena!

Great job Serena. Dang, her opponent is sounding really weak right about now. What type of person says they’ll never be as good as another?!! That’s crazy. Serena has got those girls all messed up in the head - LOL!

Serena could have ended it in the second set,but she played better in the third to bring it home, Jankovic displayed a lot of class in her past losses to the Wms. Sistas. I hope they do well at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open.

Wow, Kareem, I mean Serena got girls vexed because of her big “powerful” arms. That is so funny she said she can’t match up to Serena’s power, she should never make herself look weak like that. On that note, I will congratulate Serena for being a dominate athlete and staying on top of her game. She won 29 titles at her young age, go head girl!

That was a terrific game. Serena started wilding out towards the end and smashed her damn racquet on the ground and then threw the shit up against a wall. That racquet was bent the hell up after she banged it on the ground. She was heated becuz she hit the ball out of bound or some shit. Anyway, it was hilarious. They gave her a warning but five minutes later she won the match. I was happy for her and was a lil surprised that she lost her cool like that, but it was definitely entertaining. She made the serbian gurl fell to her knees while trying to hit one of those 80mph balls. The serbian gurl played a decent game…. but she definitely was no match for Serena.

Wow that Serbian chick just said what was on her mind. Never claim defeat and that you cannot be better. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Serena and Venus but come on. I am just glad my girl is still doing her thing. They are amazing women. Her body is sick and I love it. Did you ppl catch her on The Game. It turning out to be a great season. I am still mad Girlfriends is gone but at least I have something to watch Sunday other then reality tv. Tennis is the best sport ever. I cannot wait to catch the US Open in August.

As far as Jelana Jankovic goes. She needs to stop the madness. Serena whooped her fair and square. It had nothing to do with “the power” of Serena Williams. Serena is a powerful player but she also has THE GAME to win these major titles. People would like you to believe that Venus and Serena Williams just smash their way around the court and win solely because of sheer strength. NEWS FLASH: They dont have a combined 14 major titles between them with just STRENGTH. They are excellent shot makers and know how to construct points beautifully.
So Jelena as much as you want to believe Serena’s strength is what beat you it was just shes a better player then you all around. You sure wasnt claiming “Oh her strength” when you beat her the last three times yall met.
I tell ya.
But congrats to Serena. Hands down the best female player of the last decade. Count the trophies.

Wow! She got guns!!! I don’t blame that chick for telling the straight up truth, no other female can go up against the strength of Serena’s upper body. Those tennis balls are like skud missiles coming at you! She’s cock strong and aggressive.
Poor Common, he don’t stand a chance in the bed with that!

Serena is not ugly just because she is not Hallie Berry and her arms are to die for. Go Serena.

Another African American woman doing her thing!
So proud of Serena!!!
The reason why Jelena didn’t win is because (based on her interview) it seems like she had a losing attitude about the whole situation.

@ #23 MR. FAMU
I see you are a true fan like myself. Aren’t these two awesome?!!! They make me so proud as if I knew them personally. For me and my famiy, the sport is already addictive. We play every chance we get. But to have these ladies kick butt all over the court and have win, after win, after win, is amazing. They have gone through so much and they keep proving why they deserve so much respect.

The match was topsy tervy, Rena really should have won in 2 sets but let it slip in a big way, glad she had 3 breaks in the 3rd set she really couldm’t even win after having 6 mtach points, had she not taken it on Jankovic serve i don’t think she would have won, after getting to 5-0 she didn’t hold serve until she broken to win at 5-3 .
The best match had to be against Justine Henin if anyone follow tennis they will know in 3 slam Henin beat Serena in all 3 quarter of the slams so this was pay back and beating her 6-2, 6-0 is sweet and she was just sublime. Serena will never play she she did 02- to early 04 but she sure if doing well this year, i’m a big fan

I think so too, she need to tone her body down a little bit. Her upper body is too big and looks VERY MANLY.

The only thing Serena needs to do is to keep winning. There’s nothin’ wrong with how she looks, and on top of the that, she’s a professional athlete not a runway model.
