Serena will spank drama queen's butt in just over one hour.

Who is the Empress?

Why its Empress Maria, who is about to start

her 4th Era Of Domination.

In theory, JJ is one of the players that can stand up to Serena. In
practice, Serena will take this one in straight sets.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

JJ took a set from Serena in Charlston on green clay.
This is a slow surface, slower than Beijing.

No one beats JJ 3 times in the same year!

Ok, I am just kidding....

JJ will not win jack against Serena this time....all her wins over Serena were when Serena was either coming back from injury or was injured.
2006 Serena was coming back from her long injury break
2008 Australia Serena was struggling with toothache
when they played in dubai or doha Serena retired injured
2010 Rome was when Serena choked really bad...
tomorrow will be 8-4..mark that on your calenders.

Jankovic confuses me, though I'm glad to see her back to her best form. If she's tough and focused, it'll go 3, but either way, my money is on Serena.

JJ is JJ!
Sometimes I think she is confused too!

But Jelena is one of a kind just like Serena, she has the most wins of anyone (still here) against Serena.

Here are more pictures of both Ladies.

Enjoy!

Do you mean Venus? :snigger

@Kui I know you deeply want Serena to lose but JJ has no chance against Serena tomorrow...
Sorry man..8-4..yay

 

[Calvy]

I find it interesting that Serena is the most dominating number 1 since the Graf and Seles era, yet there are some whom question her, whether it's against Kvitova and now Jankovic.

I know Jelena has a good record against Serena, but, the fact is, since Serena has transformed her game within the last 18 months, she's beaten Jelena three time, two of those were nice and swift, and this is not the same Serena from 2008 thru 2010.

Serena in two!!

JJ has had a fine year, when many pundits said she was all washed up and should perhaps quit tennis. Still, I have to go with the majority here and say SW in straight sets.

Ah. Well I can't wait for her to return. There is no one I enjoy seeing Serena play more than Maria. Come on back Maria!!! I believe Na Li will be number 3 if she beats Petra tomorrow. So with Maria's lower ranking, hopefully she and Serena can meet in earlier rounds next year.
