Maybe practice with Sara Errani on returning her serve over the break counts as a second serve essentially

Well you have to give credit Kerber is taking advantage as Vika and Maria among others kept Kerber in that second tier

I mean would Kerber have had the year she did if there was also Maria and Vika to contend with maybe maybe not

Im thinking not Sun. Maria was there to beat all the low-tiered players and then Serena would just beat Maria for a slam win

Serena would actually be past 23 if Maria was still in the mix
