It’s been over 1.5 hours, and they’re only on the 4th game of the second set. Serena can’t keep playing matches this long.

Actually Tented this is what she needs , competitive tennis and learn get superior instincts flowing. Acourse I don't like the pressure of a 3rd set because anything can happen but this is expected if you haven't played a match in almost 365 days.imo

I think overall that is where Serena’s failure over the last few years has been is keeping the points short. I know everyone talks about her serve, but I think where she has been most inconsistent is return of serve. She really used to be feared there too, but she hasn’t done nearly as much to punish serves as she used to do.

Serena is 40 years old and hasnt played a match in over a year, like Rafa she cannot be on the court for hours on end, those days are over...this march is going into its 3rd hour,.

Yeah, that’s it. She’s 40. If this were her first match after a year off when she was 30, I wouldn’t be as worried, but not 40.

sloppy game to get broken and Serena has let the girl back in the match. She'll have a hard time dispatching her now
