Serena prefers serving indoors because she prefers the echo sound. Ok, time for the feed with no announcers.

All the games have gone, wearyingly, to deuce. Silliams has made like 13 UEs in three games. And yet, Demented can't break her.

Good thing Demented's known for her reliable serve then.

When Serena has to move for anything, it's an error 4/5 of the time. She can't win this match. She just can't.

Demented is exactly the kind of dumb player who'd keep hitting the ball right at her. Hell, Serena should already know to expect the crosscourt ball.

When Serena has to move for anything, it's an error 4/5 of the time. She can't win this match. She just can't. I know. You watch the rallies, and Elena is just so much more consistently better. But Serena is serving well, and watch her UEs disappear just when she's in danger of losing the match.

I predict a break-hold to end the set right here.

If it's not going to be a steamrolling, I'd prefer that Elena has to come from behind, rather than try to maintain a lead.
*grasps faint straw of hope*

LOLOLOLOL, what a way to lose the set. Serena, win it all. WTA, learn to serve.

LOL @ that terrible, terrible dropshot on set point.

Had to hold on to that. I wish Yelena would hit closer to the lines... you have to move her, damnit. This isn't the Serena of '02-03 that could run everything down. Grar.

Break. C'mon. We can do this.

We did it. Why does Elena insist on raising our hopes again.

Post by leelee on Jan 28, 2009 22:55:21 GMT -5
Serena is giving us some errors and wants to make it close so she can win like she usually does. She will PAY. Demented is confidence.

I guess I could still win with my bagel prediction, but...come on.
6-3 6-3 coming up.

Alexandros-Ferdinandos Georgoudas GER
"GER" is meant to be "GRE," right? With that name?

OK, so...what IS Demented's strategy in this match? Hit every ball right back to Serena, and break up play with the occasional woeful dropshot? I have no idea what she's trying to do in these rallies.

Predict the second set. Thanks. Bagel? Let's hope so. For Elena that is. Great start to the second set for Elena. I hope Serena has a letdown now.

I think this is the letdown, right?

I never understand these codes. Like SUI and ESP get their real names, but SWE and CRO get Anglicizations.
