Kirijax Grand Slam Champion Joined May 2, 2014 Messages 6,220 Reactions 4 Points 0 Age 60 Location Kirishima, Japan Jul 11, 2015 #130 I dont think it will be am easy match for Serena. She will have to play her best.

tented Administrator Joined Apr 14, 2013 Messages 21,703 Reactions 10,579 Points 113 Location Pittsburgh, PA Jul 11, 2015 #133 A lot will depend on her 1st serve. If Serena is serving well, then bye-bye Garbi.
tenisplayrla08 Major Winner Joined Apr 19, 2013 Messages 2,319 Reactions 503 Points 113 Jul 11, 2015 #134 And keep the dream of the calendar year slam alive. But, I am worried that shell let the pressure of that get to her.

tenisplayrla08 Major Winner Joined Apr 19, 2013 Messages 2,319 Reactions 503 Points 113 Jul 11, 2015 #138 She definitely could start slow. Or start fast and go on a walkabout. But we know shell fight to the death.
