Such a tough loss. Heather played well, but she's getting a bit ahead of herself here. There was only a "match" because Serena wasn't playing well and was making a ton of unforced errors. Perhaps it was the crowd and/or the stress of dealing with heightened expectations, but Serena was not at her best and this gave Heather the chances that she had. At the end of the day, had the better Serena shown up Heather would have lost in straight sets. And even though a visibly stressed Serena was on court, Heather's best tennis wasn't good enough. Whether you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning. True champions know this.
