2013 US Open QF: Serena vs. Suarez Navarro

[Sundaymorningguy]

Maybe this is a good lucky trend for Serena to let the opponent shake the hand first

Chris Evert wondered what Serena was going to give

CSN for her birthday.

Looks like it will be a gift card for fresh confections

from the Williams Bakery Shop

Was actually hoping Carla would have gotta that last game. And, for the third straight match, she, Serena, let her opponent shake the chairs hand first.

I don't think she really thought about it until some media people brought it up a few weeks ago. Now she's completely aware of it and allowing her opponent to go first.

Serena tried to let Carla win a game

I guess Carla didn't want it. lol



Serena has played 10 sets

4 of them 6 - 0

3 of them 6 - 1

Yes Calvy, I have been noticing this also. It wouldn't be a big deal except how adamant she was about shaking the chair's hand first.

Are you serious?

Did you see her at the end of the Miami match with Sharapova? She is and was aware of the fact she has to shake the chairs hand first, all players have their superstitions. I had one when I was young.

I got stuck in traffic on the way home hoping to make it back for the 2nd set but Serena wanted an early dinner so SOL for me

"She's the best player in the sport," Suarez Navarro said.

"When you look at the draw, you don't want to see Serena there."

What I meant to say is that she does it so often that it had become commonplace to her. Some media people made a big hoopla out of it in Toronto or Cinci (don't remember which one). Maybe she was embarassed it was blown up. Since then, it appears she's letting the opponent go first.

Keep it going, Ree!!
