Serena leads the series 16-3

We all know the dynamics in this rivalry. They've played twice this year in the last 2 months. Both matches went 3 sets and Vika had chances to win both (actually holding MP's in the Madrid contest).

If there is a way to win without holding match points, Vika will win.

Serena in two close sets, say something like 6-4 7-5. Serena knows the possible danger element here and so will be fully focused.

I think Serena knows given their last two meetings that she needs to be on it from start to finish.

Vika serving first ...

Anyone have a streaming link I can use in the U.S. Listening to Wimbledon Radio but it's pretty dry.

I hope Serena comes out focused and the serve is firing.

 

[kskate2]

A love hold. I'd say her serve looks pretty good to start

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

She needs to get her return of serve going though

 

[kskate2]

It normally takes a couple of games before that settles in

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Azarenka strikes first

 

[kskate2]

Well Serena's back to not moving her feet. She looks stiff. She needs to loosen up before this set gets away from her

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

This match is making me nervous

 

[tossip]

Serena doesnt seem worried but on grass things slip away really quick..

 

[tossip]

she seems tight

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Serena better get a grip quickly.

 

[bajana]

whoa.. not looking good at all

 

[tossip]

arrggh dont know whats wrong with this woman....

 

[bajana]

I honestly thought after the game with Vee she'd be playing consistently well

 

[tented]

No active player gives Serena as much trouble as Vika, so I'll give her one set, but Serena will win in three.

....on grass Serena has the edge...

I agree, especially when you factor in Serena's serve (which many consider to be the greatest of all-time), vs. Vika's ... um, not-so-greatest-of-all-time serve. :snicker

In fact, now that I think about it while writing this, I should change my vote to Serena in two.

Is it too late to change it back to Serena in three?

Vika got the first set, but I still think Serena will win.
