After a hard fought game, an easy fought game for Monica. Keep it up gal.

After all is said and done, this might not be a bad match for Serena. Monica is forcing her to hit a lot of balls which will assist her finding her timing earlier, where in other tournaments she doesn't find it until the later rounds.

Monica holds steady under pressure. Living up to her pregame thrash talk.

There is a lot more going on with Serena than a tennis match,which has been apparent from the start of this match.

And finally after 2 hours and 4 MP's, Serena wins her first match at IW in 14 years.

Let's see if Serena keeps it calm and rights herself into some better tennis from this point forward.

I think so....coming back after 14 years, getting used to the climate, tricky opponent you never played before, not having Sacha....all sorts of crazy stuff was swirling in this match

They can only meet in the final. We'll see how well Maria is playing tomorrow.

Glad Serena survived. I did not see the match, but the slice FH and top spin BH must have made it tough for her to find her timing.

Sharapova will not be on the way. Vika has something to say about very soon.

Congrats to Serena for winning despite playing on Friday, the 13th.

Hats off to Monica. She did not wilt in the second set even though she went down.

I dont think she is worried about Sascha at this point.She has her family and friends around her and has won before Sascha and will win after Sascha...tennis is 90% mental and she one mentally tough woman.:popcorn

I don't know we will see, but Sharapova is playing some good tennis. She played Serena very well in Australia. Vika is starting to put it together, so we will see.
