Great match. Kuzzy and Serena put on an exciting show. I wish that could have been the final instead of the boring one we will likely see from Serena vs Pova. I am so impressed with Kuzzy's game.

I am just glad Serena hopefully got her crappy match out of the way and hopefully no more to follow. She should be relaxed from here on out finally making it past the quarters!

I think it was a combination of Sveta taking a 7 minute time out which put Serena on ice and Kurtzy playing very aggressively..

Serena is a better player than allowing a bathroom break to get to her. If she was afraid of losing her intensity, she always has the option to go out and at the very least hit some serves to stay warmed up. Then again, Serena if she is going to let up usually does it in the second set anyway, so it was no surprise.

It isn't about Serena is a better player but she is a rhythm player like all the top players. A 7 minute break can cool down the best players.. trust me, we have all seen it happen to often.

Like I said, she could have gone out and hit a few serves if she was worried about losing her focus or cooling down.

Why not?

Lana has a FO championship under her belt, so does Serena, I say Serena will lose a set, you say she won't...
Wanna make a bet?

:D

If I recall correctly, weren't you certain Vika was going to defeat Serena in straight sets in Rome?

I for one hope you continue to make predictions against Serena. I like your track record.

It turned out my prediction came true.
What say you now?

Wow, that improves your prediction record to what, 2-50?

Impressive! You deserve an award!

I think Kuzzy is still sore on the roof being close in Aussie Open 09!

Calvy,
even a 2-50 record is better than no record, from someone who only gives other people comments about their record.

But that's OK, if it makes you feel good.

Actually, I made predictions on three yesterday, Sharapova vs Jankovic, Vika vs Kirilenko and Errani vs Aga!

And I also voted Serena would win the French Open.

"But that's OK, if it makes you feel good." YEP!!!

You know, these are public polls, all voters can see who else voted.
I don't see any votes from you...

You know what people think if someone claims they voted and they actually didn't?
