Copy.

This meeting is going to have some tension based on what Barbora said after the USA Open.She has always had some beef with the sisters for some unknown reason...her handshakes with the sisters at thd net are always awkward to say the least..I am hoping that Serena will give her a good beating based on her trash talk..

Serena in 2.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Serena in straight sets,this is her title not to lose.

 

[don_fabio]

Hard to see Serena lose here and should wrap it in 2 sets.

 

[isabelle]

hope for a Strycova feat

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Serena with the early break leads 3-1
Consolidates the break with a love service game 4-1

 

[Moxie]

She's settling in now. Two quick matches today maybe.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

It is 'All Serena' gets a double break 5-1 and will serve for the 1st set

Babs has never taken a set off Serena in their 3 previous meetings.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Babs with 2BPs....out of nowhere,though the net cord did help with of them

BPs erased....great touch at the net from Serena,playing mixed doubles has really sharpened her game,soft hands

Serena 1st set 61

She got 3 extra matches playing doubs. It was the best decision she could have made. Needs all the matches she can get on the grass.

And as an added bonus, the press conferences were hilarious.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good ROS from Serena,she breaks and will serve 3-2
Consolidates the break 4-2
Babs did fall over at the back of the court early in the 1st set,seems to be bothering her,stretching her leg.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

ROS game from Serena has been impressive to me so far in this match.

 

[kskate2]

If there really is bad blood between them, Serena is letting her racquet do the talking. She is handing out a British beatdown today. I do seem to remember she had something to say at the handshake in a match against Venus one time. Venus was like you talking to me? LOL :lulz2:

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Serena with 1BP she breaks,as Babs drive volley wide
Serena leads 5-2 and will serve for a spot in the final

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Impressive display of all court tennis from Serena she wins 61 62 and will play in her 11th Wimbledon Final

 

[kskate2]

Serena into her 11th Wimby final. That is remarkable. She's like thank you very much to Riske for taking out Ash, Konta for taking out P3tra and Babs for taking out Konta.
