Victoria Azarenka won a showdown between the world's two top players by beating number one Serena Williams in a three set 2-6 6-2 7-6 thriller in the final of the Western and Southern Open on Sunday.
For two hours and 30 minutes Nike Air Max 95 Womens UK , Azarenka and Williams engaged in a seesaw battle before the Belarusian finally clinched the victory, winning a nervy tiebreak 8-6 to prevent the American from ticking a Cincinnati win off her 'bucket list'.
""Obviously, a big win. It was a great match,"" Azarenka told reporters. ""Really Nike Air Max 95 Premium UK , really pleased with the way I pulled it out. It was a great battle.
""There were no giveaways. It was pure fight.""
In a career that has generated 54 singles titles, including 16 grand slams, Williams had won just about everything there is to win in her sport - but not Cincinnati, one of the WTA Tour's most prestigious tournaments.
Cincinnati will remain a hole on her resume for at least another year after Azarenka answered the challenge by claiming just her third win in 15 attempts against the 31-year-old American.
Williams came into the contest with a chance to pass several career milestones beyond a first Cincinnati win but failed to secure any of them.
It was only the second time in 10 finals this season that Williams had failed to walk away with the trophy Nike Air Max 95 OG UK , while a victory on Sunday would have moved her up a notch on the career wins list into a tie for seventh place with Britain's Virginia Wade and compatriot Lindsay Davenport.
But the day belonged to Azarenka, who bagged her third title of the year and 17th of her career.
""We go against each other really tough, so I think, yeah Nike Air Max 95 Mens UK , it's a good rivalry,"" said Williams. ""I'm number one, she's number two so we have that rivalry which consists of meeting in the final, which makes it even more so exciting.
""I personally was thinking it is a good rivalry and it's good to have someone out there that can play hard and fight so tough.
""She's a great player. There's a reason why she's winning grand slams and doing so well.""
A marquee final featuring the world's number one and two ranked players initially failed to deliver the high-quality spectacle expected from two women who have captured five of the last seven grand slams.
Azarenka Nike Air Max 95 Ultra Jacquard UK , who struggled with her serve against Jelena Jankovic in the semi-finals and held just three times, opened the match with two double faults to hand Williams the early break.
Williams continued her assault on Azarenka with another break at 4-1 that left the Belarusian waving her racket in anger.
""I felt like my energy wasn't maybe there 100 percent at the beginning but that's what the match is about,"" said Azarenka. ""It goes up and down, and you battle against somebody and you have an edge or then you don't have an edge.
""That's what is exciting about that to try to take your opponent to that place where they don't feel at their best.""
In the second set it was Azarenka who had Williams talking to herself as she turned the tables on the muscular American by breaking her three times to level the match.
In the third nike air max 95 ultra essential uk , Azarenka and Williams finally produced the tennis and edge-of-your-seat drama that fans had come to see, twice trading breaks to send the set into a tiebreak.
With the title on the line, the quality of shots and effort sky-rocketed at both ends of the court before the contest ended with Williams's forehand into the net.

BERLIN, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) -- Juergen Klopp seems not to be far off being voted ""sexiest man alive"" even without votes coming from Liverpool. All of Britain seems to be affected by ""Klopp mania"".
Some assume the 48-year-old coach will not have to worry about parking tickets even if he left his car on double yellow lines in the city's main shopping street www.airmax95ultrauk.com , he won't need a bank account to pay rent and shopping in the supermarkets will be free, as will any pints of beer he downs in the harbor city's pubs.
Complete nonsense? Maybe? But nothing seems to be impossible as the Premier League club FC Liverpool and its fans welcome Europe's currently most-wanted coach.
With 10 million euros of salary per season over the next three years, Klopp now is faced with the task of reanimating a club that has unique football tradition and one that for several reasons has fallen deeply in love with the charming German.
Who is the man that has gained a messiah-like status in England's northwest before he has even started his difficult mission? And more important: Will the German Klopp be the perfect match for the English Liverpool?
No matter: Expectations couldn't be higher and things at first glance fit together like in a fairytale ahead of his first game in the Premier League against Tottenham Hotspur on October 17.
Klopp was never a great player himself but one that was gifted with an above-average amount of passion - authentic, full devotion for football and people. The 1.91-meter man with the three-day beard and the hair transplant to cover up his receding hairline has the charisma to captivate big audience as well as a football team through his ability to find a way to people's hearts nike air max 95 ultra uk , whether as a TV pundit or in front of an 80,000 crowd. No problem for a man as versatile as Klopp.
He seems to be the ideal candidate for a club that is no longer a top dog - Liverpool won its last league title in 1990. When he took charge at Borussia Dortmund neither he nor his new club was one of the top dogs after previously being the head coach at FSV Mainz 05 in 2008. Klopp was Dortmund's savior that won two German titles (2011 and 2012) and led them to the Champions League final in 20122013 where they lost 2-1 to Bayern Munich. Before Klopp turned up in Dortmund, a coal-mining city, with a baseball cap on his head nike air max 95 uk sale , the club was in serious danger of being relegated from the Bundesliga.
