This is far from over, Serena dear God move your feet and stop acting like the ball is magically going to go wherever you want it to go.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Garbine really needs to address her 2nd serve.

 

[Carol]

Well, I think this is the end for Garbi unless she plays out of this world but Serena seems that she doesn't want to lose this match

 

[Carol]

Wow, that was a good one!

 

[Carol]

And that was a bad one lol

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Serena with a BP for a double break

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Thank you Serena moving in behind your ROS

Great save from Garbine back to deuce

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Serena with her 3BP....Serena breaks and will serve for the match 5-2

 

[kskate2]

She breaks again and will serve for the match 5-2

 

[Carol]

Ok Garbi, you have played well but still you need to be more consistent but soon you'll be one of the top 10 and be able to win Mayors, yes!
Congrats Serena, you are still the best!

 

[kskate2]

Valiant effort from Mugu. Tighten up those loose errors and she will be a force to reckon with for sure. :clap

Serena just refuses to lose. Channeling her inner Sharapova this tournament it seems. Impressive.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Serena has the added advantage of her serve,to me it is the best serve in the history of the WTA
When Serena is down,she can count on her serve to get her out of trouble,seen that time and time again,we also saw it in todays match.

Serena just refuses to lose. Channeling her inner Sharapova this tournament it seems. Impressive.

Does Serena really need to channel anything from Maria that she does not already possess at a higher level?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

My TV channel is only showing the men's match Nishikori v Ferrer,so I am just looking at the SB for the battle of the 2 Madisons,I will get to watch this match live soon I hope
