Williams just looked tired throughout!
Now did Halep play so well that she made Williams look like an amateur or was Williams really off form? or more likely a bit of both.
Either way. Halep played a beautiful game, remained composed and as a result she got the reward, well done to her.
That's my view, too. Serena was making mistakes I wouldn't have expected, and Halep was chasing down everything! Now did Halep play so well that she made Williams look like an amateur or was Williams really off form? or more likely a bit of both.

I think it was mentioned that Serena had only played one top 20 player on her way to the final, and Halep only one in the top 10, so they may both have been at sub-par level for a final.

Halep played an exceptional game. Well deserved.
Seems to be a bit of Serena hate on here. Why is that?
The US open final might have more than a bit to do with that....Seems to be a bit of Serena hate on here. Why is that?
I’m not a huge fan of women’s tennis on the whole but always respected the talent that Williams has but she blew all that out of the water last year.
Her display in that final was appalling and I’ve always felt she got away far too lightly...

I could almost see a speech bubble above Serena's head during Halep's interview with SB...
''Oh! So THIS is how you become liked and respected..''
Serena is an amazing tennis player and great to watch. No-one could honestly call her otherwise. Completely lacking in any true humility despite the simpering tone during interviews.
Don't imagine she really gives a s
t when looking at it overall.
