Nice! Do you remember which ones? I might write an article on this, so this is extremely helpful.

I only remembered that it was three times. After some googling: 2003 AO SF vs Clijsters, 2005 AO SF vs Sharapova and 2009 W SF vs Dementieva

Thanks, nice of you to Google. Next time, tell my lazy butt to do it.

Remember the Dementieva match point where Serena guessed correctly at net where she was below average on that day.

Was that the Wimbledon semi 2008? One of the best matches I have ever seen. Just one that’s burned to to my brain for the quality and tension, not because I am a Serena mega fan.

Great piece by Zina Garrison, who has been in Serena's inner circle from the beginning

Muguruza's op-ed on Serena for El Pais. "I cried when she told us she was retiring, which is very rare for me. Somehow, her goodbye has shut down something inside me; something was extinguished."
