Some day Domi's ball toss will not come back.....:)
Can she get a better serve? She's a lot like Nadal: loads of grit and not much serve. But Rafa's worked on placement, at least.

Nice to know. And I suppose if she's got so many problems with the toss, she's not going to get disguise and placement, but it's a shame, because I think she could take it to a higher level with a "clever" or smarter serve.

Venus started slow, again, but got it done, again.

Venus Williams is a super-hero. She's not looking her best, but she is tough as nails. Great win!

Kerber needs to watch the tapes of her matches last year especially against Serena when she was playing offensive tennis,she is not at the level of 2016,she has gone back to playing defensive tennis.
