I took JJ in 3 sets but that's basically what I want to happen. So I went with my heart.
Even with Serena's questionable back, I think realistically, JJ has a 25% chance.

However, I didn't think JJ would beat Petra and here she is. That's why she gets 25% chance, a 1 in 4 shot against Serena is not bad odds.
Serena HAD a tight back all week long long...she will prevail.

I'm taking Serena. She will find a way to win no matter how the back feels. Otherwise she could have bowed out earlier in the week.

I don't agree with your assessment. There is a reason Aga and Caroline have been ranked higher than Jelena for more than 3 years now.

Simple fact is, Jelena has a little more power than both Aga and Woz, and that's why she plays Serena tougher, otherwise, Aga is a far crafter player than Jelena, and more reliable.

Yes I agree with this. The main reason Serena had more problem with Jankovic over the years than Radwanska and Wozniacki is the difference in their rally ball. Serena isn't one of these ball bashers who will just miss routine shots, you have to force her into errors. Jankovic at her best combined both speed of foot and weight of shot to do this. Radwanska and Wozniacki's ball isn't forceful enough, it's in Serena's strike zone, they tend to resort to just ball retrieving vs Serena which will rarely get the job done. Jankovic had the ability to redirect the ball with some pace.

Radwanska also has a terrible mentality vs Serena. She seems to be in agreement with she's going to lose before a ball has even been struck. One of my main problems with Radwanska as a player is the terribly negative mentality she gives off when facing Serena and Azarenka. For me it makes it hard to warm to her.

I am not sure however that the Jankovic of now is good enough to do this anymore. She's not as quick as she once was and has lost some of her firepower too.

Providing Serena can serve today, I think she will win in 2.

Serena takes the opener 6-2. She appears to be moving pretty well so the back is not an issue so far.

Strange turn in this match. Serena shows visible pain and wincing. She drops serve at 1-1. During the changeover Jelena calls the trainer and is now off court while Serena didn't call the trainer.

Serena comes through w/ the exact same score from yesterday 6-2 6-2. Hopefully JJ's injury won't derail her from participating in the remaining tournaments this year.

Serena was awesome this week and congrats to JJ, she has got her A game back.. I think both ladies are a bit jaded after this week.

But, great week for both.

Got to give Serena credit here, seems like when you think she could possibly be beaten in a tournament she digs deeper and prevails. As you noted Kiu 10 titles this year is very impressive.

Don't know either Calvy, but we have to give her the benefit of the doubt. She had just broken serve and took an MTO on her serve, so if anyone's rhthym was broken it was hers.

Besides, she played 2 weeks in a row and back-to-back 3 setters. I'm sure she's a little sore.

True, but, a writer (Peter Bodo) pointed out she might have taken the time out hoping Serena's back would tighten up, and I saw her being observant when Serena started winces and bending over.

This year or since her RG loss? Because this year she's only lost twice to top 5 (2 Vika losses).
