2015 US Open SF: Serena Williams vs. Roberta Vinci

[Kirijax]

No. 1 Serena Williams (United States) vs. Roberta Vinci (Italy)

Head-to-Head: Serena leads 4-0. Vinci has never won a set. Their last meeting was in Toronto last month.

This is Serena's 9th US Open semifinal, while this is Vinci's first Slam semifinal.

Who will win?

 

[tented]

I think the trend will continue: Serena wins, and Vinci doesn't win a set.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

The polling should really be about the number of games that can possibly be won by Vinci.

The options should be all possibilities between 0 and 8.

I go with 3.

Good point. Maybe, just maybe the planets will align and Serena might beat herself. But nah. I'l give Vinci 5 games.

Serena is too dialed in at this point. Straights!

 

[tennisville]

Serena in 2 , probably Vinci wins 6 games overall

Tented, only if Serena doesn't play with patience and just over hits. Vinci just keeps the ball in play and lives for another day. This will not be a match that will give Serena any rhythm for any potential big hitters like Vika, Peta or even a smaller player like Halep.I would hope that Serena doesn't loose more than 3 or 4 games.

Roberta will throw off her rhythm w/ those slices, spins and net approaches. Serena will take a few games to adjust her returns. I'll say Serena in straights. Something like 6-3, 6-2

 

[GameSetAndMath]

This is the 29th semifinal for Serena and 1st one for Vinci.

Serena's SF record 25-3.

Wow, just saw Halep got blasted off the court...

[nehmeth]

Serena will do this in a quick two, methinks.
