Schett/Wilander is FFWD time for me.
Good night everyone.

It's great how we're all so much more supportive of Serena now because we've realized how pathetic the rest of the tour is.

I'm supportive of nobody. I'm only sulking now.
And I need a new favorite. I choose Mladenovic.

Wow, even the common herd in TF/WTAW was horrified at this. Why? I didn't think Lena D. played bad. She did her best, and it's not her fault that her best didn't do. Really, Corswandt? Even leaving aside the DFs, I thought Demented played a terrible match, repeatedly hitting the ball right back to Serena, and though she wasn't a UE machine, seemed to make them at crucial junctures. Serena played OK in the second set but was AWFUL in the first. |

And those 'drop shots' where she placed the ball neatly in the middle of the court with a note saying 'WHACK ME' attached.

I don't think Demented played poorly other than her serve letting her down, but she strayed from her game and didn't play to win the match. You can't play safe and assume Serena will give you the match with errors. At least not in the 2nd week of a slam.

Serena played OK in the second set but was AWFUL in the first. Lena D. wasn't consistently aggressive because Serena didn't give her many chances to do so. She was either being made to run side to side after Serena swung away at her crap serves or attempting to return bombs. As for the dropshots, she's always been this stupid. She's one of the players with less in the way of tactical skills this side of BAG. Lena played her limited game to the best of her abilities, but it wasn't enough. She's not the one to blame for this. |
