Serena Williams vomited, then won 10 straight games and the match

Boot and rally.

Act 1: Serena Williams, struggling, trails Timea Bacsinszky a set and a break. She throws up a little bit into a towel in between games:

Act 2: Serena Williams breaks Bacsizsky’s serve, wins every game left in the set, wins every game in the next set, and advances to the French Open Finals

Williams said after the match that she's battling the flu. But it really seems like she got every bad thing out of her body in that one moment. She might never lose a game again.
