Tennis: Sony Ericsson Open: Finals

[vinuneuro]

Anyone else watching? This women's finals match is unbelievable. Even if Serena loses, that was one badass come back! I think the men's final tomm will be just as good. Btw, it's on CBS.

Williams Beats Henin With Huge Comeback Serena Drops First Set 0-6, Rallies to Win Title

KEY BISCAYNE, Florida (March 31) - Serena Williams survived a dismal start and erased two championship points in the second set to beat top-ranked Justine Henin 0-6, 7-5, 6-3 and win the Sony Ericsson Open on Saturday.

The comeback was nothing new for Williams, who revived her career by winning the Australian Open in January for her eighth Grand Slam title. Once ranked No. 1, she fell to 140th last July because of long layoffs but will climb back to 11th on Monday.

The match was 39 minutes old before Williams won a game, and Henin was twice one point from the title serving at 5-4 in the second set. Williams saved both points, including one where her return clipped the net cord, keeping her in the match by perhaps an inch (two centimeters).

Henin slipped and took an awkward tumble during that game, skinning her left knee, and lost the next six points. She fell again trailing 3-0 in the final set and remained seated on the concrete for nearly a minute, as if debating whether to concede.
