2020 USO SF: Serena Williams vs. Victoria Azarenka

Vika seems 'chilled' questions from Brad Gilbert.

See more insane questions for Serena....

Yay Mary Jo Fernandez is calling this match

See there is a God after all.............

My favorite thing that Serena just said is, "I can't hear you." I am so tired of trying to hear people talk through a mask.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Vika and her 2nd serve has always been her downfall in her game

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

2 d/faults and a few errors from Vika a very poor opening game

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Serena has come out sharp is now up a double break,being aggressive from the baseline

The one I expected to come out tight was the other one.

Serena knew she has to step up from her last match,so I am not surprised,she has been serving well all tournament, Vika is the shaky one at present.

Williams leads 4-1

I wonder if Serena needed to face someone she knew was a threat, not just a theoretical one. Or maybe she's just stepped it up, and Vika is not just there yet.

Yeah. But your Ken doll is back too.

Fowler reminds me of a Ken Doll,I bet he has had some face surgery

She's doing exactly what Patrick told her to do. Absolutely kill the ball from the baseline and put Vika on her heels. Now let's see how long she can keep it up before Vika adjusts and catches on.

Serena knows from their past history she can beat Vika,I know it is different circumstances now in lots of ways,both mothers,older of course,still I feel Serena has the weapons to beat Vika...her serve for one is her biggest weapon,when down she can call on it to get her out of trouble time and time again,though it is not just her serve her ground shots,especially her bhand and her movement when on is a delight to watch.

That 2nd serve from Vika.................honestly

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Serena is just too good off the ground

Serena 6-1 1st set

Williams W 12 UFE 8

Azarenka W 4 UFE 19

I like what I am seeing from Serena. I hope she can keep it up.

 

[kskate2]

This NFL game has turned into a blowout. No more multitasking

 

[Moxie]

Serena is winning the longer rallies?? That's not good news for Vika.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

At some point Vika is going to offer resistance no? I wonder how Serena is going to respond.

 

[kskate2]

The onslaught from the baseline continues...

 

[Moxie]

Excellent point, and fantastic finish from Serena.

That 2nd serve from Vika.................honestly

It's a straight love offering, no?
