Its more that Kerber started a bit slowly. They are comparing her to Kvitova now, which is...a bit obvious.

Stosur screaming at herself, never seen that before.
Kerber is benefiting from a whole bunch of mediocre second-tier players who saw Slam final daylight - Radwanska, Pennetta, Stosur - and said "WHY NOT ME!" And then peed everywhere and lost.
Kerber hits a good ball but this could have been Begu, or Razzano, or Sloane Stephens, who went into her slot in the draw and the resultant matches with "nothing to lose," and watched these poor morons self-destruct.

They could start on Sunday like RG. ESPN doesn't want another day of early round matches. Won't happen.

Yay. Now get the early lead in the 3rd. But to be honest, I still don't see it happening. Just too crazy to imagine.

None of them self-destructed. You can argue that none of them are any good, which I concur with. Begu and Stephens have a lot less game than Kerber.

Are you kidding? Stosur is practically weeping in the fetal position. I expect a bagel or breadstick by Kerber.

Rafa is 6-4 6-2 without playing particularly well in the 2nd Andy's lever dropped even more drastically.

Yes, poor Stosur is making late-match Fed look like Manly Warrior Winner.
But I'm with Old Hag; AK has got game. Strong lefty game, and a good head.

Stosur's only chance is to mix everything up. EVERYTHING. She needs to play this like a doubles match, and that will be very hard to do if she's not getting control of the points immediately with her serve.

I mean, she can play tennis, like everyone else ranked 25-100 can play tennis. Too simple. There are at least 60 players in the 25-100 range that could never play the level of tennis that Kerber has shown here.
