Not a good day for the WTA, all in all. Serena is making Makarova look like a beginner, producing a boringly uncompetitive match, and the other SF ended with a retirement.

I think Makarova is on the Serena list like pova and Azarenka
I think Vika and Serena are friends no?:s

they are. She doesn't abuse Vika or Caro like she does Maria or other player's on the list.

That's why you sit at home, drink and food at hand and enjoy the festivities from your TV...or computer screen...in my case:D

Serena's last shot looked out and worth a challenge to me.

and she's through. Great job in staying focused for the most part. A little wobbly in the match service game, but righted the ship w/ a break of serve. She will meet her best friend on the tour.
